Neha Vapiwala, Dean of Admissions at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, shared a post on X by Drew Moghanaki, Professor, Chief of Thoracic Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology and Stanley Iezman and Nancy Stark Endowed Chair in Thoracic Radiation Oncology Research at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Chief Medical Officer of Respirati, adding:
“Dear authors, for reminding ASTRO each of us of our responsibility to demystify RT and tackle dangerous misinformation, hiding in plain sight.
Rad Onc excels in scientific exploration – it’s past time for a better approach to disseminating it. Data to dialogue”
Quoting Drew Moghanaki‘s post:
“An intriguing poster at ASTRO25 demonstrates that major North American TV Shows are leading viewers to believe radiation might cause ‘internal melting, burning, or crumbling, or even a food allergy’.”
