heme onc PSTP Chances?
Was hoping to get some insight into my chances for heme/onc PSTP. Current 4th year med student in a research year at a T20 west coast program. I am not doing an MD/PhD and have heard a PhD is a semi-soft requirement for PSTPs so was wondering how competitive I would be. My PI is actually a derm PI who specializes in derm-onc clinical trials, not sure if this would be a red flag for heme/onc PSTPs. Step 2 is 255+. Thanks in advance!

Does that mean that authorship is not pre-established prior to trial activation and is decided at the time of data publication? Do the senior-most authors of the highest...

Trials to send referrings
I thought it might be good to have a running thread of recent trials or papers you’ve sent or will send to your referrings to create new referral patterns.
I’ll start:
Prophylactic Radiation Therapy Versus Standard of Care for Patients With High-Risk Asymptomatic Bone Metastases: A Multicenter, Randomized Phase II Clinical Trial - PubMed
Radiation delivered prophylactically to asymptomatic, high-risk bone metastases reduced SRE and hospitalizations. We also observed an improvement in OS with prophylactic radiation, although a confirmat...

The 2 studies that add something, DART and FASTRACK, are from Canada and Australia.
The 2 studies that subtract something (hypo-fx) are from America.
