To hold or NOT to hold Systemic Therapy with Radiation: Dr. Nina Sanford

Welcome back to the Oncology Brothers podcast! In this episode, we were joined by Dr. Nina Sanford, a GI radiation oncologist from UT Southwestern, to discuss a critical topic in cancer treatment: when to hold and not to hold systemic therapy during radiation and for how long.

 

Join us as we explore:

• The framework for balancing systemic therapy with different types of radiation, including SBRT, palliative, and conventional radiation.
• Insights on managing cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, TKIs, and targeted therapies in conjunction with radiation.
• The importance of individualized treatment plans and the evolving data around various drug classes, including BRAF inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, and anti-HER2 therapies.
• Practical recommendations for community oncologists navigating these complex decisions.
