line 5 just confirmed to open this sunday, february 8! with only 5 days notice, this got to be a record from the TTC on shortest notice *ever* for a new transit line opening. we've only waited 15 years :)

Dr @herbloongmd.bsky.social giving the keynote address at I-OSICON in Chennai 🇮🇳 on lung cancer immunotherapy 🫁 🇭🇰

Great to hear Dr @herbloongmd.bsky.social speak about immunotherapy clinical trials at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in Chennai, India.

Thank you to the @torontosymphony.bsky.social for visiting Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and playing music 🎶 for our @radmedpm.bsky.social and solid tumour cancer patients! What an uplifting event — Happy holidays ❄️ (picture taken with permission)

The biggest clue to cranks that there is no vaccine conspiracy is that Doctors and Scientists continue to vaccinate their own children at record rates.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

AB is seeing its worst measles outbreak since 1979 – last week reaching 879 cases & rising. Measles is highly contagious but preventable. The vaccine is 97% effective. Protect yourself and your community.

Was a pleasure to visit @cuanschutz.bsky.social and @childrensresearch.bsky.social this week and participate as faculty in the 8th Postgraduate Course on Childhood Craniopharyngioma in Denver, Colorado. Thank you Dr Hankinson for hosting and organizing a great meeting.

Happy to share our work led by Dr Inhwa Kim (radiation oncology resident @radmedpm.bsky.social) on our #proton therapy consultation service for Canadian patients. We showed reduction in dose to healthy tissues with #protons. doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

Pleased to share our Critical Review on use of stereotactic radiation for children with cancer, and how we can apply adult-derived evidence to inform clinical practice. www.redjournal.org/article/S036...

We’re setting the record straight on dedicated lanes. Red lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst will make our travel faster, safer, and more accessible. They will also help cut congestion and reduce pollution. Read this thread to get the facts ⬇️ 1/5

Dr David Mak (@radmedpm.bsky.social) presenting a secondary analysis of data from ACNS1123 stratum 1 at #asco25 - proton therapy associated with improved IQ as compared with x-ray (photon) radiation in children with non-germinomatous germ cell tumours.

Second up! Dr. Jean Bourhis Sr presents NIVOPOSTOP (GORTEC 2018-01): chemoRT +/- nivolumab for resected, high risk head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. 24% risk reduction in disease progression or death: 3-year DFS 63.1 vs 52.5 months (HR 0.76) with substantial drop in locoregional relapse #ASCO25

Agree! Need the Government of Ontario to step up and properly fund @tdsb.on.ca and other school boards, and not threaten to take their land or governance

This article is from 2008. Together, we fought hard to save Toronto’s school pools. Today, they’re threatened with closure once again. It’s time for life-saving aquatic programming, outdoor education and special needs programs to finally be supported by the province

First up at #ASCO25 Plenary: According to ATOMIC results, adding atezo to FOLFOX improves DFS in stage III dMMR #ColonCancer & yields 50% reduction in the risk of recurrence & death vs chemo alone: brnw.ch/21wT4N9 #ASCODailyNews

Fossil fuel companies have been blocking the transition away from their dangerous product since 1967. Wildfires causing an increased in asthma and spur new onset epilepsy. Plus post menopausal women can’t bear the heat. Enough is enough #SueBigOil news.westernu.ca/2025/05/air-...

So proud of our @radmedpm.bsky.social trainees Dr Zhao and Dr Mak, winners of #asco25 awards!

Made it to #asco2025! Excited for our @radmedpm.bsky.social resident Dr Mak to present #acns1123 data on cognition after proton vs photon data- and to see the latest brain tumour science.

Grateful to the organizers of #CNO2025 (Canadian Neuro-Oncology Meeting in Vancouver) for the opportunity to speak about our work in using AI and machine learning to improve radiation for children and adults with brain tumours (#btsm)

The province says the Toronto District School Board has a spending problem. The board says it’s chronically underfunded. @wencyleung.bsky.social sorts through the numbers. thelocal.to/tdsb-2025-26...

Where is Public Health? Last week, I was writing about #measles spreading in Ontario and Alberta and the invisibility of public health officials there. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... CBC News has more on the topic today, including this observation. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Proud to see former clinical fellow Dr Nisha Shariff present the @pmresearch-uhn.bsky.social experience on #reirradiation for children with #brainstem glioma showing a survival benefit to reRT! Great work, Dr Shariff. #estro25

Sign the Petition to Save Our School Pools! A report in the TDSB agenda, just released, proposes closing all 66 school pools, included 27 permitted by the City of Toronto, in Toronto’s public schools due to funding cuts from the Province…

Congratulations to UHN's Dr. Kevin Smith on being named a 2024/25 Newsweek Top CEO! Dr. Smith’s leadership in delivering world-class patient care is shaping the future of health care in Canada and being recognized on a global scale. Read his Newsweek CEO Circle profile:

“That’s just not acceptable,” Shelagh Pizey-Allen, executive director of TTCriders, said in an interview with Now Toronto on Monday. “The question is, who should get priority? Thousands of transit riders or a couple of drivers who are making left turns at red lights?” nowtoronto.com/news/ttc-tra...

It was a pleasure to work with Justin Oh and radiation oncologists across Canada to write a scoping review on novel techniques and future directions in radiation treatment for brain tumours in children - read it here: doi.org/10.3390/curr...

Happy to share our experience treating children with recurrent brainstem glioma with 3 or 4 courses of radiation. Although a palliative treatment, re-irradiation offers relief of symptoms and additional survival. @radmedpm.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #btsm #childhoodcancer

Thanks, @picardonhealth.bsky.social, for bringing light to this important issue. I routinely discuss TTF (Optune) with my patients. Lack of government or private insurance coverage is the main barrier to this therapy. Look forward to the day @ontariohealth.bsky.social makes a decision about funding.

🎉 Congratulations to Drs. @detsang.bsky.social, @drdhodgson.bsky.social, Barbara Ann-Millar, and Dana Keilty on their newly published paper in Radiotherapy & Oncology! 👏 🔗 Read here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ra... #RadiationMedicine #CancerResearch #RMPatPM

Pleased to share our study evaluating children undergoing re-irradiation for brainstem glioma and diffuse midline glioma - re-irradiation is an effective (albeit temporary) treatment that extends life and palliates symptoms. #radonc www.thegreenjournal.com/article/S016...

Please to contribute to this review of current developments and novel therapies in the radiation treatment of pediatric brain tumours. Thanks Dr Justin Oh for leading this effort. doi.org/10.3390/curr... #btsm #childhoodcancer
