Chad Tang: Presenting the treatment of the often deadly RCC IVC thrombus
Chad Tang, Radiation Oncologist at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on X about his recent paper, commenting:
“Sharing our newest paper by the talented Mihir Shanker presenting the treatment of the often deadly Renal Cell Carcinoma with Inferior Vena Cava (RCC IVC) thrombus. Utilizing a 1.5 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) linac we were able to effectively align high dose radiation to what is otherwise a Computed Tomography (CT) invisible lesion.
Panels A1-3 and B1-3 are examples of MRI-based alignment and A4 and B4 show non-contrast CT based alignment. Since this paper we have treated many more IVC thrombi. The MRI represents an ideal fit for this indication.”
