David Palma, Radiation Oncologist and Professor at Western University, shared a post on X about a paper by Thilo Schuler et al. published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics:

“Real-World Implementation of Simulation-Free Radiation Therapy (SFRT-1000): A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of 1000 Consecutive Palliative Courses Delivered in Routine Care”

Authors: Thilo Schuler, Stephanie Roderick, Shelley Wong, Jeremy Booth, Thomas Eade et al.

David Palma: Growing evidence for using sim-free RT for palliative cases

“Growing evidence for using sim-free RT for palliative cases…here’s the SFRT-1000 study from Thilo Schuler in IJROBP.

Planning done on diagnostic CT scans, most treated with IMRT/VMAT and no online adaptation. Treatment started 2 days quicker.

…and here’s our editorial discussing some of the evidence for sim-free RT, written by Melissa O’Neil.”

“A Thousand Data Points, One Clear Message: SFRT-1000 Demonstrates the Real-World Effectiveness of Simulation-Free Palliative Radiation Therapy”
