Meeting Recap: 2022 ACR Intersociety Summer Conference
SBI
The ACR Intersociety Executive Committee, led by Frank Lexa, MD, MBA, FACR, convened in Deer Valley, Utah, for the first time since 2019 to discuss how we’ve all been “Recovering From the Great Resignation, Moral Injury, and Other Stressors.” Representatives from 27 radiology societies contributed to the dynamic discussion and breakout sessions at high altitude. The major themes are summarized in this article.
The pandemic strained every part of society. In radiology, the pandemic likely exacerbated the growing disparity between the demand for imaging and the supply of radiologists and staff to perform and interpret examinations and procedures. Demand for radiologists is high. Fortunately, radiology remains a popular choice among medical students, who filled 995 of 996 residency positions last year. However, there is no definite plan for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education or the American Board of Radiology to increase the number of positions. In addition, graduating residents are more frequently seeking first jobs at less than 1.0 full-time-equivalent (FTE) employment, resulting in a decrease in supply of total FTE hours. Some participants wondered if we could convince our recently retired and experienced radiologists to stay on at 0.2 FTE employment to mentor new partners and fill in the staffing gaps.

Tumor environment may play big role in breast cancer prognosis
Inside Precision Medicine
The interplay between the patient’s body mass index, tumor size, and the protein Caveolin-1, is important for breast cancer prognosis, according to a study from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers believe these findings could further enhance precision medicine in breast cancer.

Treatment de-escalation with locoregional radiotherapy appears safe in cT1-2N1 breast cancer
Cancer Network
Investigators believe that locoregional radiotherapy can be safely de-escalated among patients with cT1 to cT2, node-positive (N1) breast cancer who have been treated with primary chemotherapy and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) or other surgery of the breast/axilla based on a promising 5-year locoregional recurrence rate reported from the RAPCHEM trial (NCT01279304).

Lack of financial comfort linked to weight gain among young breast cancer survivors
Healio
One-third of a cohort of young breast cancer survivors experienced significant weight gain at 3 years after diagnosis, according to study results.
Findings of the study, published in Cancer, showed weight gain had no significant association with treatment type or treatment-associated menopause — but less financial comfort did.
