This is something I donβt really get.
Huge and sustained difference in bDFS with FLAME when average D98 was 85/37 to DIL (curves start separating at 1y!). Bravo ππ»
But with PACE B where whole prostate (including DIL) had D98 of over 100Gy EQD2 but only small improvement (nss)
Can anyone explain?

We saw the same trend in #PACE B (HR around 0.75 if I recall favouring #SBRT). Only time will tell if difference holds and becomes statistically significant.

This will be a game changer!
Much (10x) cheaper than MRI, no room shielding / purge requirements, no special safety training.
In Canada no US restrictions (unlike MRI).
PS I have no COI with this company.

Itβs a no-brainer @drandrewloblaw.bsky.social , any treatment that increases cure rates should be approved, no questions asked. Canada ahead of us again!

But no one tells you the IR pts that are safe⦠until now
