Join Joseph Panoff, M.D., radiation oncologist at Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute, and Youssef Zeidan, M.D., radiation oncologist at Lynn Cancer Institute, for an in-depth physician-to-physician discussion on modern breast cancer radiation therapy.
They explore how photon-based radiation has evolved over the last two decades—from early planning techniques to today’s highly conformal approaches that improve precision while reducing toxicity. The conversation also examines emerging comparisons between proton and photon therapy, including how each modality impacts cardiac exposure, skin toxicity, and long-term survivorship considerations.
This episode highlights the importance of individualized treatment planning, the growing focus on safely reducing unnecessary treatment, and how collaboration across leading cancer institutes is shaping the future of radiation oncology.
