Student curriculum review team, 8 years later: Where we stand and opportunities for growth.

Background: The Student Curriculum Review Team (SCRT) was founded at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHUSOM) in 2012 to refine pre-clinical courses. Since then, SCRT has provided a voice for student feedback - offering forums for discussion through 'Town Hall meetings' and confidential avenues for peer-to-peer comments. Here, we assess the perceived efficacy and utility of SCRT among the student body and faculty course directors.

Radiologic response of chemotherapy alone versus radiation and chemotherapy in the treatment of locally-advanced or advanced thymic epithelial tumors.

Background: Here, we investigated radiological responses following chemotherapy alone as compared to both radiation/chemotherapy (chemoRT) in patients with thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) who did not receive upfront surgery.

Methods: TETs treated at a tertiary academic cancer center between January 2007 and July 2018 were identified. Patients received chemotherapy or chemoRT as initial therapy and pre- and post-treatment scans were available.
