Journal ArticleDOI
Inadequate adherence to radiotherapy in Latina immigrants with carcinoma of the cervix. Potential impact on disease free survival.
Silvia C. Formenti,Beth E. Meyerowitz,Kathleen Ell,Leila Muderspach,Susan Groshen,Beth Leedham,Vaclav Klcment,Paul C. Morrow +7 more
TL;DR: Because carcinoma of the cervix is a common disease among Latinas, with survival rates worse than those of other ethnic groups in this country, the pattern of adherence to the prescribed radiation treatment among Latina patients seen at Los Angeles County Hospital were studied.
Journal Article
Immunological aspects of local radiotherapy: clinical relevance.
TL;DR: Radiotherapy, a well established local anti-cancer approach, is a particularly interesting partner for immunotherapy, since it can be harnessed to specifically modify the immunogenicity of the primary tumor and its microenvironment, in the attempt to generate an in situ immunization of the host against a patient's own cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current status and recommendations for the future of research, teaching, and testing in the biological sciences of radiation oncology: Report of the american society for radiation oncology cancer biology/radiation biology task force, executive summary
Paul E. Wallner,Mitchell S. Anscher,Christopher A. Barker,Michael F. Bassetti,Robert G. Bristow,Yong I. Cha,Adam P. Dicker,Silvia C. Formenti,Edward E. Graves,Stephen M. Hahn,Tom K. Hei,Alec C.

TL;DR: The TF charge specifically precluded consideration of research issues related to technology, physics, or clinical investigations, and was not within the scope of service to consider the quality of ongoing research efforts within the broader radiation oncology space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Qualitative Assessment of Academic Radiation Oncology Department Chairs' Insights on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Progress, Challenges, and Future Aspirations.
Rochelle D. Jones,Christina H. Chapman,Emma B. Holliday,Nafisha Lalani,Emily Wilson,James A. Bonner,Benjamin Movsas,Shalom Kalnicki,Silvia C. Formenti,Charles R. Thomas,Stephen M. Hahn,Fei-Fei Liu,Reshma Jagsi +12 more
TL;DR: A nuanced understanding of how to best promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) based on the insights of RO department chairs is sought, with particular attention given to the experiences of the few women and underrepresented minorities (URMs) in these influential positions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating child mortality associated with maternal mortality from breast and cervical cancer
Raymond B. Mailhot Vega,Raymond B. Mailhot Vega,Onyinye Balogun,O. Ishaq,Freddie Bray,Ophira Ginsburg,Silvia C. Formenti +6 more
TL;DR: The authors estimated children’s deaths in association with mothers’ deaths from breast or cervical cancer, 2 common cancers in low‐income and middle‐income countries affecting women of reproductive age, to develop a comprehensive assessment of the death burden of these cancers.
