Purpose: Many medical students in the US lack formal exposure to radiation oncology (RO). In contrast to multi-week electives, microclerkships, defined here as brief (<1 week) observerships, could provide exposure to RO. The primary objective of this study was to establish expert consensus for the duration, curriculum, target audience, and goals/objectives of an RO microclerkship.

Methods: As part of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Study among transgender women in New York City in 2019, RDS was implemented with a focus on recruiting Black and Latina/Hispanic transgender women. We identified factors independently associated with (1) peer recruitment and (2) presenting to the study with a photo coupon.
Purpose: To report patient outcomes and local tumor control rates in a cohort of patients with biopsy-proven HER-2 positive breast cancer treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases (BM).
Methods: This international, retrospective, multicenter study, included 195 female patients with 1706 SRS-treated BM. Radiologic and clinical outcomes after SRS were determined and prognostic factors identified.

- * The study found that highly connected individuals were more likely to get infected early in the outbreak, leading to a rapid rise and fall of cases, and emphasized that mpox transmission shares dynamics with other sexually transmitted infections.
