Nina Niu Sanford: Take Away 1 IO Infusion or Switch a Few Fractions IMRT for 3D
Nina Niu Sanford, Assistant Professor and Chief of Gastrointestinal Radiation Oncology at Harvard/Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital, shared a post by Mark Lewis, Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Intermountain Healthcare in Utah, on X, adding:
“Take away 1 IO infusion or switch a few fractions IMRT for 3D. Use that $ to give patients Peloton bike with tailored exercise schedule based upon baseline fitness level combining cycling with mat strength/pilates/yoga classes. I bet latter more effective, cost effective, and better QOL.”
Quoting Mark Lewis‘s post:
“It’s easy to recommend exercise for better overall health but I had a truly remarkable day in clinic empowering patients with colon cancer to follow an evidence-based, post-op fitness program that offers a survival benefit on par with some chemo drugs. Bodies in motion, indeed!
More here on the dose intensity of ‘exercizumab’.”
