stage II and III non-PT associated worse survival vs PT (P<.01). Thoracic PT is associated with better survival in this retrospective analysis; validation in the randomized setting is needed (imbalances in patient characteristics).

Evidence vs Innovation
The academic dilema in medical progress
“Would we agree to receive 25 Gy
to a large fraction of our brain or abdomen . . .
with no known credibly hypothesized medical benefit?”
122 active PTB trials 42.000 patients
79 % interventional studies
Background: consensus (Evidence + Consensus) 10 most common cancers in the US 2019 vs 2010 guidelines.
Methods: 2019 NCCN guidelines.
Category 1 (high level evidence randomized controlled trials + uniform consensus),
Category 2A (phase I-II + uniform consensus) Category 2B (lower level of evidence + no-uniform consensus)
Category 3 (any level of evidence + major disagreement).
Results:
recommendations increased by 77% from 1023 (2010) to 1818 (2019)
19% category 1 EC (65%) initial therapy
category 1 EC were breast (30%), lung (10%), and kidney (10%) cancers
Conclusions: 2019 NCCN lower levels of evidence with uniform expert opinion.
