I had the privilege to speak at the #ASTRO23 meeting and share the World's Largest data of >1000 Breast Cancer patients we treated with high quality Regional Nodal RT SCF /-IMC with 5# Ultra-Hypo-Fractionated RT (UHFRT) at the Tata Memorial Hospital & ACTREC. We could confidently use UHFRT as a universal practice in the most challenging pandemic times only because we had standardised & were routinely using mono-isocentric RT since several years & also had pre pandemic experience of 5# UHFRT in 100 cases. Using a variety of modern techniques and clever planning, we could keep radiation dose to very safe limits to the heart and brachial plexus. Patients requiring RT to the Internal Mammary Nodal Chain were not included the Nodal Substudy of the concluded RCT of UHFRT (FAST-Forward) or had very few cases in the ongoing RCT (HYPORT) to inform future practice for IMC RT. Of the 1024 patients we treated with Regional Nodal UHFRT, 200 had IMC RT. Our Session discussant Dr Jean Wright, MD brought out some pertinent points after my talk #UHFRT is here to stay and should be the backbone of future adjuvant breast RT research Watch out for our registry updates and more prospective comparative data

🫁 Lung organoids sprouted, in the last years, as a promising alternative model in pulmonary research.   In this review, the authors delve into  the latest knowledge on mechanobiology of lung organoids, its future challenges and limitations. I particularly liked the overview on the scaffolds used for this research! Find here the main advantages and disadvantages of lung organoids vs ALI (air-liquid interface) transwells 👉 Transwell ALI Model         📍 Gold-standard technique          📍 Mimics in vivo epithelial differentiation         📍 TEER (transepithelial electric resistance)         ✂️ Lack of complexity          ✂️  2D 👉 Lung Organoids Model         📍 3D         📍 (direct) co-culture         ✂️ Technically challenging         ✂️  Heterogenous cultures #pulmonaryresearch #ALI #transwell #organoids #mechanobiology
