Podcasts about N2

In this episode, Chris and Matt break down a wave of new laptop and PC news that's reshaping the platform landscape for the next few years. Nvidia's N1X Arm chips are finally headed to consumer Windows gaming laptops, with a next‑gen N2 platform already on the roadmap for 2027. Intel is firing back at Apple's MacBook Neo with its new Core Series 3 mobile CPUs, while Microsoft doubles down on Intel for its latest business‑focused Surface Pro 12 and Surface Laptop 8 models. We also look at Googlebook, Google's new AI‑native laptop platform that blends Android and ChromeOS with deep Gemini integration—complete with a “Magic Pointer” and prompt‑based custom widgets meant to succeed the traditional Chromebook. Then we zoom out to hardware design and reliability, from HP's EliteBoard G1a “PC inside a keyboard” to a new report claiming Windows PCs crash three times as often as Macs in the workplace. If you're trying to decide what laptop ecosystem to bet on for the next 3–5 years—Windows, Mac, or Google's new AI‑centric world—this episode is for you.

The All Truck Drivers Forum and Allied South Africa will embark on a national shut down tomorrow, in protest against the hiring of foreign national drivers. The group claims its long-standing grievances submitted to the Department of Employment and Labour have not been addressed. Disruptions are expected on major highways including the N2 and N3 in KwaZulu-Natal as the forum demands government intervention. We spoke to Gugu Sokhela, Secretary-General of the All Truck Drivers Forum and Allied South Africa.

Andrew is back from two weeks of Spanish immersion in Puebla, and the conversation picks up right where it always does. We get into MetaMonster's 100-demo sprint with their new co-founder, why AI keeps producing bad content for founders (and what Sean shipped to fix it), and somehow end up deep in a conversation about outcome-based agency pricing and why it is a finance nightmare in practice.

Interesting. um how was How was your trip?01:14.97AndrewIt was awesome. um Just going from using Spanish maybe anywhere from half an hour to like two or three hours a day to using Spanish from 9 nine am until like five every day and then sometimes for another couple hours at night.01:34.68Andrewdepending on what plans I had with friends and stuff, um was definitely like much needed. Like I felt my vocabulary improving. i felt myself building some confidence, speaking Spanish, getting a little bit more comfortable.01:50.14Andrewum Also underscored how much I still don't know and like how far I am from where I actually want to be, which is like kind confusing. good and frustrating at the same time.02:03.32Andrewum But overall, really fun and also just nice to see a new part of Mexico. Like, Puebla is really beautiful. um It's a smaller city, a little bit more chill.02:16.06Andrewum but has a really beautiful historic center with porticos that reminded me of like the porticos in Bologna in Italy. um And really good food.02:29.66Andrewum I ate something and like fucked up my stomach for like a week. So that was a bummer, but also just part of being a gringo living in Mexico. um So it comes with the territory.02:44.76SeanYou were going for, I want to say it was two weeks, but it feels like it's been a very long time since we've talked.02:47.10AndrewJust two weeks.02:50.35Seanyeah, I miss you as well.02:50.68AndrewOh, I miss you too. Nah, it was just two weeks. Yeah, but super fun.02:58.52SeanGood. Good, good, good. Yeah. That was a good picture from your group.03:03.93AndrewOh, of the of the class.03:05.53SeanYeah, yeah. That's good.03:06.56AndrewYeah, the school does a really good job of like, so you take classes from nine to one every day, and then you have lunch with the other students. um And you're strongly encouraged to speak only in Spanish while you're at the school.03:21.82Andrewum So you're you're speaking to other students who are at different levels, but speaking in Spanish.03:21.96SeanNice.03:28.48AndrewAnd then in the afternoons, Monday through Wednesday, you're paired one-on-one with a guide who's just a local. um And you walk around Puebla and go visit museums and tour different parts of the city with your guide. um ah The second Monday I was there, i got two of the other students and their guides to come with me to a board game store and we just played board games and talked in Spanish and it was super fun.03:57.64AndrewMuy lindo, very cute.03:59.72SeanNice.03:59.77Andrewum And, ah but yeah, so you get like a lot of one-on-one time with your guide. And then on Thursday, you do like a bigger expedition with the group to a city, you know, a small town or city nearby to Puebla. Yeah.04:15.04AndrewAnd then, ah yeah, Friday afternoons you get off.04:15.40SeanNice.04:18.78AndrewSo,04:19.82SeanIt's like a full immersion type of thing. I like it.04:22.43Andrewyeah, exactly.04:23.14SeanYeah. Cool.04:24.44Andrewum Yeah, super fun.04:25.43SeanYou feel like you are drastically better at speaking the language now?04:31.52AndrewNo, I would not say drastically better. um I would say...04:36.90Andrewmarginally better. Like definitely, like i like I said, like definitely improved my vocab and my confidence, but like still two weeks just isn't enough to like for a drastic change.04:46.47SeanRight, right.04:47.76AndrewI, um yeah, i I need, I wish I could have spent04:49.21SeanGotcha.04:55.55Andrewyou know, two months there, because I think that would have been the kind of time I need to, like, really take a step forward. um Although I found this funny thing. i've I've spent some time on the language learning subreddit over the last, like, six months or whatever.05:11.77AndrewAnd I found this funny joke where like every level thinks they're six months away from being fluent. Like every level of speaker is like, yeah, with like six more months of study, I'll be fluent.05:21.25SeanYeah.05:23.68AndrewAnd it's like, you also just realize the more you learn, like, and Fluent is not easy to define and is kind of a shifting goalpost. um There's like true native speaker fluency. And then there's like, you know, understanding scientific terms. And um so like, you know, I think my goal is just conversational fluency, like be able to meet people who speak with a slightly different accent and not panic and like ah be able to like hang out in a crowd of like, you know, locals and like carry a conversation without being super stressed or watch a movie in Spanish and understand it without subtitles.06:12.37SeanCool.06:15.19SeanCool.06:19.13SeanMy brain's going into, like I forget what it's called, but there's like, a I don't know this is like i don't know if this is for like all languages, but like there's something like from what I understand, but Japanese, there's like an N1 or N2.06:31.96Andrew...

Interview with Deepak Varshney, President & CEO of Formation MetalsRecording date: 8th April 2026Formation Metals is a junior gold explorer advancing the N2 project in Quebec's Abitibi greenstone belt, a district historically responsible for over 200 million ounces of gold production. Despite sitting on an 870,000-ounce historical resource, the company currently trades at roughly $10 per ounce — a valuation gap that CEO Deepak Varshney, a geologist with deep capital markets experience, believes will close sharply once a modern resource estimate is delivered.The existing resource was calculated in the 1990s using a $200 gold pit shell and a 0.5 g/t cutoff, making it technically historical and limiting market recognition. Previous operators — including Agnico Eagle, Cyprus Canada, and Minnova — treated N2 as an underground target, drilling for narrow, high-grade veins rather than the wide bulk-tonnage zones Formation Metals is now systematically proving. With gold now trading above $4,500/oz — more than five times the 2008 price when Agnico last drilled the site — the economic case has fundamentally changed.The N2 project spans 8 kilometres of strike across 87 claims (~4,400 hectares) in northwestern Quebec. Formation Metals' drilling has consistently returned wide, shallow intercepts: 42.3 metres at 0.91 g/t starting just 12 metres from surface, and intercepts exceeding 150 metres of continuous mineralisation in some holes. The mineralisation begins as shallow as 9 metres vertical depth with minimal overburden, a rarity in the region. Grades of 1–2 g/t across 30-metre-thick zones are consistent across the A-zone, the primary focus, while a high-grade core delivers up to 4 g/t over 11 metres.The company is executing a fully funded 30,000-metre drill program in 2026, backed by approximately $11 million in working capital. Rather than twinning historical holes drilled by majors, Formation Metals is targeting gaps in the geological model with infill and step-out drilling at 50–100 metre intervals — a capital-efficient approach that validates continuity without redundant work. With 39 holes awaiting assay results, the company expects a steady flow of news through the year.The core 1.5-kilometre A-zone alone is internally modelled to support 1.5–2 million ounces using a lower 0.25 g/t cutoff, with a maiden NI 43-101-compliant resource targeted for Q3/Q4 2026. An additional 3 kilometres of drilled strike and 3 kilometres of untested extension to the west point toward a 3+ million ounce potential across the full property. Toll milling options at Matagami (20 km north) and Casa Berardi (50 km west) provide a low-capital path to production, while proximity to Maple Gold Mines — 20% owned by Agnico Eagle and holding a 3 million ounce resource — positions N2 as a natural acquisition candidate for regional consolidators.The company's roadmap runs from a maiden resource in late 2026 to a Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2028, either as an independent developer or as an acquired asset. With estimated production costs below $2,000/oz at a 4:1 strip ratio against current gold prices, the project's margin profile is compelling. As Varshney put it, the shallow, near-surface nature of N2's gold makes it a genuine anomaly in the Abitibi: "There isn't a lot of gold this shallow available in the area".Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Episode: The Garden Route, South Africa Today's episode is an FAQ on what the Garden Route is, a bit about the route, and my mistakes on it. The FAQ is: What is the Garden Route? It sounds lovely, but what is it actually? Answer:  The Garden Route is a re-branded name for a region in Africa. It's a 190-mile stretch of South Africa's southeastern coast, stretching from Mossel Bay to the Storms River. It is a popular tourist road trip known for lush forests, dramatic mountain scenery, lakes, and sandy beaches. The area features a mild, year-round temperate climate, making it a premier, safe destination for outdoor activities. I drove it in 2025, all on the left side of the road, in a rental car, and there were almost no traffic lights or even traffic. Listen to the full episode to learn how I got a traffic ticket and what happened later. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today is the Confidence Challenge on the Garden Route Driving on the left side of the road was a huge challenge for me. To do it well, think of big right turns and small left turns. Follow the car in front of you if you get mixed up. It should be practiced on local streets before you enter a busy city, like Cape Town, South Africa. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into getting around in Step 4 travel, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips. Find Books A, and B and soon C, on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is the Garden Route, South Africa. Today we're heading to one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the world — The Garden Route in South Africa, just about six to seven hours from Cape Town. I was inspired by Rose from our Bucket List Travel Series and had to visit for my own experience. Six hours of driving sounds long. But here's the question: when was the last time you permitted yourself to take the scenic road? And I split it into two days of driving. You can drive it yourself as I did, or take a Greyhound bus, which is comfortable and reliable. If you prefer less stress, the bus is a solid option. But driving gives you flexibility — and plenty of lessons. And the buses weren't flexible with their pickup times, like one am, which isn't my idea of a convenient pickup at a bus stop. I left Fish Hoek in the Cape Town area at 8 a.m. on a Sunday. Within thirty minutes, the coast was visible — waves crashing, sand drifting across the road, endless sky. And yes, you'll also see contrasts. There are informal settlements along the way. Women carrying water jugs. Shacks near beaches. South Africa is breathtaking — and complex. Once I found the N2 — after missing a turn and driving nearly an hour too far — the journey truly began. Note to self: don't rely only on instinct. Download your maps offline. And don't speed. Tickets are expensive. My first major stop was Knysna (NICE-nuh) Heads — two dramatic cliffs guarding a lagoon entrance. I is spelled: K N Y S N A. Knysna means NICE-nuh (/ˈnaɪznə/), with a silent 'K'. It is a Khoikhoi word meaning "place of wood" or "fern leaves," and it is located in the Western Cape of South Africa. The views from above the cliffs are unforgettable. It's hard to describe, but picture what Robinson Curuso (spelling) may have seen from his travels. Then on to Plettenberg Bay, where I walked Lookout Beach. Here you will see Volleyball games, rustic beach restaurants, and wide open space. If you swim, check the tides — and yes, the water is cold, but refreshing. Around 17°C in some areas, and slightly warmer than Fish Hoek. For nature lovers, Robberg Nature Reserve is worth the small entrance fee — about 65 Rand or 4 dollars.  I hiked partway. It's rocky and slippery, so take care. I saw seals — hundreds of them — birds soaring, and even a whale in the distance. I walked over 16,000 steps that day. Alone. Strong. Capable. And here's something beautiful: I stayed at a simple hostel in Sedgefield — about $25 a night. The owner made us dinner. My roommate, Mary, from Germany, had been traveling solo for 12 months. She quit her corporate logistics job and became, as she said, "the package." She left for Kazakhstan the next morning. Inspiring, isn't it? On the drive back toward Cape Town, I saw baboons crossing the road — mothers with babies on their backs: cows, sheep, rolling hills. One truck had spilled cement across the highway. Life happens. Stay alert. Top speed is 120 kilometers per hour. You pass on the right. Big sweeping turns. It's not a casual drive; it requires focus. Now, while you're near Cape Town, consider booking a private taxi driver for a full-day tour if you don't want to drive on the left side of the road as I did. Include Chapman's Peak Drive, Boulders Beach to see penguins, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, and sunset atop Table Mountain. You can hike up via Platteklip Gorge or Skeleton Gorge (which includes ladders) and take the cable car down if your knees prefer that option. There is no shame in the cable car. Add a visit to Stellenbosch wine country, Blaauwklippen for its weekend market, Guardian Peak for views, or Ernie Els for something more upscale. And don't miss the (oh-RUN-yuh-zicht) Oranjezicht City Farmers Market on a Saturday morning. Here's the mistake some first-time visitors make: they rush the Garden Route. This is not a checklist destination. It's a rhythm. It's Youth Day celebrations on June 16th. It's cheering runners at a 10K before you can drive out because your house sits on the course. It's dinner with strangers who become friends. The Garden Route reminds you that solo does not mean alone. If you are 50-plus and wondering whether the Garden Route drive is "too much," I would gently challenge that thought. With preparation, awareness, and pacing, it's absolutely doable. And unforgettable.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through everything the iPhone 18 Pro will feature, according to the latest rumors. Following last year's major redesign, the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models are expected to feature a very similar design to their predecessors. There is expected to be a smaller Dynamic Island, with Face ID's flood illuminator component moved under the screen to reduce the cutout's size. It is rumored to be approximately 35% narrower than the iPhone 17 Pro's, shrinking from around 20.7mm to 13.5mm. The Pro Max will be slightly thicker than its predecessor, rising to around 8.8mm and over 240 grams to accommodate a larger battery of 5,100 to 5,200 mAh, up from the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max's 5,088 mAh.The rear will see a slight design shift as well. Apple is reportedly dropping the two-tone look found on ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models in favor of a more seamless aesthetic, with improved alignment between the Ceramic Shield back glass and the aluminum frame. The devices are also expected to come in a special red color.The camera system will undergo more substantial changes. Both Pro models' main 48-megapixel Fusion camera are rumored to feature variable aperture, which would allow users to control the lens opening to manage light intake and depth of field. The aperture would function similarly to a DSLR camera, giving photographers greater control over focus sharpness and background blur in different lighting conditions. Additionally, Samsung is developing a new three-layer sensor for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌, designed to reduce noise, improve dynamic range, and enhance camera responsiveness compared to Sony's current sensors.The Camera Control button is also getting a simplification. Rather than supporting both capacitive touch gestures and pressure sensing as on the iPhone 17, the iPhone 18 will rely on pressure sensing alone, reducing manufacturing complexity and the cost of repairs, while improving ease of use. The A20 Pro chip will mark Apple's debut of a 2-nanometer processor, with a reportedly 15% speed increase and about 30% better power efficiency compared to the A19 Pro. The chip will use TSMC's Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Moduletechnology, integrating RAM directly onto the same wafer as the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine rather than mounting it separately, which should improve performance and battery life while reducing the physical footprint of the chip.The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models will also feature Apple's C2 modem, which is expected to bring faster speeds, improved power efficiency, and support for mmWave 5G in the United States, a capability absent from the C1 and C1X modems used in earlier iPhones. Other upgrades include Apple's N2 wireless chip and 5G satellite internet.The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max are expected to launch in September 2026, with the standard ‌iPhone 18‌ and the lower-end iPhone 18e following in spring 2027. A foldable iPhone is also expected to debut alongside the Pro models in the fall.

Verkeersbeamptes in die Stad Kaapstad het 'n taxibestuurder met uitstaande boetes van meer as 220 000 Suid-Afrikaanse rand naby die N2 in hegtenis geneem. Hy was slegs een van 360 verdagtes wat die stad se wetstoepassingsagentskappe die afgelope week vasgetrek het. Die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir Veiligheid en Sekerheid, JP Smith, sê om inhegtenisneming te vermy, sal motoriste die geleentheid hê om boetes te vereffen by die stad se verkeersveldtogte langs die pad:

If you use the N2 at the uMngeni Interchange, you'll want to plan ahead. SANRAL has confirmed that construction work will run from 12 March until 15 April 2026, with temporary lane closures and disruptions expected around the interchange. Crews will be replacing bridge parapets and median barriers on the uMngeni Bridge, which means sequential lane closures on key routes including the northbound N2 off-ramp, the southbound on-ramp from Inanda Road, and sections of the fast lanes in both directions. Traffic will still move through the area, but lanes will be narrower and delays are expected. Motorists are being urged to allow extra travel time, follow signage, and stick to reduced speed limits while travelling through the construction zone. Webpage

Die GOOD-party sê Kaapstad se burgemeester, Geordin Hill-Lewis, se pogings om verantwoordelikheid vir geweldsmisdade op die N2 op die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Padagentskap te plaas, is misleidend en teenstrydig. In die jongste voorval is ʼn 64-jarige afgetrede onderwyseres van Bloemfontein doodgesteek toe sy en haar man van die Kaapstad Internasionale Lughawe weggery het. GOOD-woordvoerder Siyabulela Mamkeli sê die deel van die N2 tussen die lughawe en die middestad word nie deur Sanral onderhou nie:

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff explores the architecture of sleep — the repeating nightly cycles that carry us from light sleep into deep restoration and vivid REM dreaming. He breaks down N1, N2, and N3 sleep, explains why deep sleep is essential for physical repair and immune function, and describes how REM helps us process emotion, creativity, and memory. Along the way, Jeff highlights the science behind hypnagogia — the imaginative threshold between waking and sleep that inspired minds like Einstein and Dalí — and how understanding these stages can help you wake with more clarity and ease. Whether you struggle with groggy mornings, restless nights, or inconsistent energy, this episode offers a clear and grounded roadmap for understanding your sleep patterns — and aligning your life with the rhythms your body already knows.

Overview Book talk and signing with Capt. Bryan Leese on At Sea Against the Soviet Fleet—the evolution of U.S. naval intelligence in the Cold War. ***This lecture is sponsored by the IWP IAFIE Alpha Student Chapter*** About the Lecture: At Sea Against the Soviet Fleet examines the critical transformation of naval intelligence during a pivotal era marked by the Cold War and the Vietnam conflict. Bryan Leese meticulously details how U.S. Navy operational intelligence evolved to meet the complexities of modern naval warfare, particularly in response to the increasing threats posed by the Soviet Navy. Structured into four main parts, this book begins by examining the Vietnam War and the institutionalization of shipboard operational intelligence, or what Navy intelligence calls Opintel. The book highlights the establishment of Integrated Operational Intelligence Centers as part of the RA-5C Vigilante program and the innovative strategies that emerged in air combat and targeting. Leese goes on to underscore the necessity of Opintel to the U.S. Navy's close and distant blockade strategy in the 1960s and 1970s. He delves into the decentralization of intelligence processes, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and the need to prevent surprise attacks. This evolution is framed within the transition to the Navy's Ocean Surveillance Information System, a decentralized and responsive operational intelligence system. The ongoing developments of shipboard intelligence capabilities are explored, demonstrating how these advancements empowered naval commanders. In the 1970s, the organizations evolved as the revolutionary Opintel adaptations of the 1960s that leveraged cooperation without hierarchy became formalized. Leese highlights the revolution to evolution process by introducing Opintel support to shipboard tactical decisions to integrate operational intelligence into comprehensive naval strategies. Capturing the essence of this transformative period, the author discusses the cultural dynamics within the Navy that fostered innovation and interdepartmental collaboration. These developments not only contributed to maintaining a strategic edge over the Soviet Union, but also laid the groundwork for future naval operations in the digital age. Leese's work reveals the intricate interplay between technology, strategy, and personnel in creating an effective intelligence framework that allows the U.S. Navy to assert influence at sea, setting conditions for sea control in conflict. By blending rich archival research with firsthand accounts, this book offers a nuanced understanding of how the Navy adapted to an ever-changing operational landscape, ultimately preserving peace while navigating the complexities of high-stakes maritime conflict. About the Speaker: Capt. Bryan Leese, USN (Ret.), was a career naval intelligence officer with extensive experience in operational intelligence, including key roles supporting ground combat operations and tours at sea, including as the N2 (head of intelligence) of the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and the George H. W. Bush Carrier Strike Group. He has held senior positions across the intelligence community, most notably as Chair, Defense Intelligence Department at the National Intelligence University, and as Branch Chief, Transregional and then North/West Africa in J2 (Joint Intelligence) Africa Command, during the 2011–2012 crisis in Libya. Before joining the Joint Forces Staff College in September 2023, Dr. Leese served on the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College's Joint Military Operations Department. He holds a PhD in war studies from King's College London and lives in Chesapeake, Virginia, with his wife, Elizabeth. **Learn more about IWP graduate programs: https://www.iwp.edu/academics/graduat... ***Make a gift to IWP: https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/W...

Dr. Kathleen Horst, Dr. Rachel Jimenez, and Dr. Yara Abdou discuss the updated guideline from ASTRO, ASCO, and SSO on postmastectomy radiation therapy. They share new and updated recommendations on topics including PMRT after upfront surgery, PMRT after neoadjuvant systemic therapy, dose and fractionation schedules, and delivery techniques. They comment on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and providing personalized care based on individual patient characteristics. Finally, they review ongoing research that may impact these evidence-based guidelines in the future. Read the full guideline, “Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy: An ASTRO-ASCO-SSO Clinical Practice Guideline” at www.asco.org/breast-cancer-guidelines" TRANSCRIPT This guideline, clinical tools, and resources are available at www.asco.org/breast-cancer-guidelines. Read the full text of the guideline and review authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO-25-01747  Brittany Harvey: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one, at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I am interviewing Dr. Kathleen Horst, expert panel chair from Stanford University; Dr. Rachel Jimenez, expert panel vice chair from Massachusetts General Hospital; and Dr. Yara Abdou, ASCO representative from the University of North Carolina, authors on "Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy: An American Society for Radiation Oncology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Society of Surgical Oncology Clinical Practice Guideline." Thank you for being here today, Dr. Horst, Dr. Jimenez, and Dr. Abdou. Dr. Kathleen Horst: Thank you for having us. Brittany Harvey: And then just before we discuss this guideline, I would like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the guideline panel, including Dr. Horst, Dr. Jimenez, and Dr. Abdou who have joined us here today, are available online with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is linked in the show notes. Then to dive into the content that we are here today to talk about, Dr. Horst, could you start us off by describing what prompted the update for this joint guideline between ASTRO, ASCO, and SSO, and what is the scope of this 2025 guideline on postmastectomy radiation therapy? Dr. Kathleen Horst: Thank you. This joint guideline was last updated in 2016. Over the past decade, the treatment of breast cancer has evolved substantially. Newer systemic therapy regimens have increasingly personalized treatment based on tumor biology, and local therapy management has explored both the de-escalation of axillary surgery and more abbreviated courses of radiation therapy. Given these advances, it was important to revisit the role of postmastectomy radiotherapy in this modern era of breast cancer therapy. This updated guideline addresses four key questions, including postmastectomy radiation therapy after upfront surgery as well as after neoadjuvant systemic therapy. It also reviews the evolving role of various dose and fractionation schedules and optimal treatment techniques and dose constraints. Brittany Harvey: Excellent. I appreciate that background, Dr. Horst. So then, next, Dr. Jimenez, I would like to review the recommendations of this guideline across those four key questions that Dr. Horst just mentioned. So first, what does the panel recommend for PMRT for patients who received initial treatment with mastectomy? Dr. Rachel Jimenez: The panel provided pretty strong consensus that patients with positive lymph nodes or patients with large tumors involving the skin or the chest wall should receive postmastectomy radiation. However, the panel also recognized that the omission of postmastectomy radiation may be appropriate for select patients who have positive lymph nodes and have an axillary lymph node dissection if they have a low nodal burden and other favorable clinical or pathologic features. For patients without lymph node involvement at the time of surgery and no involvement of the skin or chest wall, postmastectomy radiation was not advised by the panel. Brittany Harvey: Understood. It is helpful to understand those recommendations for that patient population. Following that, Dr. Abdou, what are the key recommendations for PMRT for patients who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy before mastectomy? Dr. Yara Abdou: When we think about PMRT after neoadjuvant treatment, the key point is that the initial stage of presentation still matters a lot. So for example, if a patient comes in with more advanced disease, say a large primary tumor, like a clinical T4, or more extensive nodal disease, like an N2 or N3 disease, those patients should get PMRT, no matter how well they respond to neoadjuvant therapy, because we know it reduces the risk of recurrence and that has been shown pretty consistently. On the other hand, if there are still positive lymph nodes after neoadjuvant treatment, basically residual nodal disease, PMRT is also strongly recommended because the risk of local-regional recurrence is much higher in that setting. The gray area is the group of patients who start with a lower burden of nodal disease, such as N1 disease, but then become node negative at surgery. For those patients, we tend to individualize the decision. So if the patient is young or has triple-negative disease, or if there is a lot of residual disease in the breast even though the nodes are cleared, then radiation is probably helpful. But if everything has melted away with pCR in both the breast and the nodes, then it may be safe to omit PMRT in those patients. For patients with smaller tumors and no nodal involvement to begin with, like a clinical T1-T2 N0, if they are still node negative after neoadjuvant treatment, then PMRT is generally not recommended because their baseline recurrence risk is low. And finally, if the margins are positive and cannot be re-excised, then PMRT is recommended after neoadjuvant therapy. Brittany Harvey: Yes, those distinctions are important for appropriate patient selection. So then, Dr. Horst, we have just reviewed the indications for PMRT, but for those patients who receive PMRT, what are the appropriate treatment volumes and dose fractionation regimens? Dr. Kathleen Horst: The guideline addresses coverage of the chest wall and regional nodes with a specific discussion of the data regarding internal mammary nodal irradiation, which has been an area of controversy over many years. The guideline also reviews the data exploring moderate hypofractionation, or shorter courses of radiation therapy. The task force recommends utilizing moderate hypofractionation for the majority of women requiring postmastectomy radiation, which is likely to have a large impact on clinical practice. This recommendation is based on the evolving data demonstrating that a 3-week course of radiotherapy after mastectomy provides similar oncologic outcomes and minimal toxicity for most patients compared to the standard 5-week treatment course. Brittany Harvey: Thank you for reviewing that set of recommendations as well. So then, Dr. Jimenez, to wrap us up on the key questions here, what delivery techniques are recommended for treating patients who receive PMRT? Dr. Rachel Jimenez: So this portion of the guideline is likely to be most helpful for radiation oncologists because it represents the most technical part of the guideline, but we do believe that it offers some important guidance that has, to this point, been lacking in the postmastectomy radiation setting. So first, the panel recommends that all patients should undergo 3-dimensional radiation planning using CAT scan based imaging, and this includes contouring. So contouring refers to the explicit identification, using a drawing interface on the CAT scan imaging, by the radiation oncologist to identify the areas that are targeted to receive radiation, as well as all of the nearby normal tissues that could receive unintended radiation exposure. And we also provide radiation oncologists in the guideline with suggestions about how much dose each target tissue should receive and what the dose limits should be for normal tissues. Additionally, we make some recommendations regarding the manner in which radiation is delivered. So for example, we advise that when conventional radiation methods are not sufficient for covering the areas of the body that are still at risk for cancer, or where too high of a dose of radiation would be anticipated to a normal part of the body, that providers employ a technique called intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT. And if IMRT is going to be used, we also advise regular 3-dimensional imaging assessments of the patient's body relative to the treatment machine to ensure treatment fidelity. When the treatments are delivered, we further advise using a deep inspiration breath-hold technique, which lowers the exposure to the heart and to the lungs when there is concern for cardiopulmonary radiation exposure, and again, that image guidance be used along with real-time monitoring of the patient's anatomy when those techniques are employed. And then finally, we advise that patients receiving postmastectomy radiation utilize a bolus, or a synthetic substance placed on the patient's skin to enhance radiation dose to the superficial tissue, only when there is involvement of the skin with cancer or other high-risk features of the cancer, but not for every patient who receives postmastectomy radiation. Brittany Harvey: Understood. And then, yes, you just mentioned that section of the guideline is probably most helpful for radiation oncologists, but I think you can all comment on this next question. What should all clinicians, including radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and other oncologic professionals, know as they implement all of these updated recommendations? Dr. Rachel Jimenez: So I think one of the things that is most important when we consider postmastectomy radiation and making recommendations is that this is a multidisciplinary panel and that we would expect and encourage our colleagues, as they interpret the guidelines, to employ a multidisciplinary approach when they are discussing each individual patient with their surgical and medical oncology colleagues, that there is no one size fits all. So these guidelines are intended to provide some general guidance around the most appropriate techniques and approaches and recommendations for the utilization of postmastectomy radiation, but that we recognize that all of these recommendations should be individualized for patients and also represent somewhat of a moving target as additional studies, both in the surgical and radiation oncology realm as well as in the systemic therapy realm, enter our milieu, we have to adjust those recommendations accordingly. Dr. Kathleen Horst: Yeah, I would agree, and I wanted to comment as a radiation oncologist, we recognize that local-regional considerations are intertwined with systemic therapy considerations. So as the data evolve, it is critical to have these ongoing updates in a cross-disciplinary manner to ensure optimal care for our patients. And as Dr. Jimenez mentioned, these multidisciplinary discussions are critical for all of us to continue to learn and understand the evolving recommendations across disciplines but also to individualize them according to individual patients. Dr. Yara Abdou: I could not agree more. I think from a medical oncology perspective, systemic therapy has gotten much better with adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors, T-DM1, capecitabine, and immune therapy. So these are all newer adjuvant therapies, so the baseline recurrence risks are lower than what they were in the trials that established PMRT. So the absolute benefit of radiation varies more now, so smaller for favorable biology but still relevant in aggressive subtypes or with residual disease. So it is definitely not a one-size-fits-all. Brittany Harvey: Yes, I think it is important that you have all highlighted that multidisciplinary approach and having individualized, patient-centric care. So then, expanding on that just a little bit, Dr. Abdou, how will these guideline recommendations affect patients with breast cancer? Dr. Yara Abdou: So basically, reiterating what we just talked about, these guidelines really move us towards personalized care. So for patients at higher risk, so those with larger tumors, multiple positive nodes, or residual nodal disease after neoadjuvant therapy, PMRT remains essential, consistently lowering local-regional recurrence and improving survival. But for patients at intermediate or lower risk, the recommendations support a more selective approach. So instead of a blanket rule, we now integrate tumor biology, response to systemic therapy, and individual patient factors to decide when PMRT adds meaningful benefit. So the impact for patients is really important because those at high risk continue to get the survival advantage of radiation while others can be spared the unnecessary treatment and side effects. So in short, we are aligning PMRT with modern systemic therapy and biology, making sure each patient receives the right treatment for their situation. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. Individualizing treatment to every patient will make sure that everyone can achieve the best outcomes as possible. So then, Dr. Jimenez, to wrap us up, I believe Dr. Horst mentioned earlier that data continues to evolve in this field. So in your opinion, what are the outstanding questions regarding the use of PMRT and what are you looking to for the future of research in this space? Dr. Rachel Jimenez: So there are a number of randomized phase III clinical trials that are either in active accrual or that have reported but not yet published that are exploring further de-escalation of postmastectomy radiation and of axillary surgery. And so we do not yet have sufficient data to understand how those two pieces of information integrate with each other. So for example, if you have a patient who has a positive lymph node at the time of diagnosis and forgoes axillary surgery aside from a sentinel lymph node biopsy, we do not yet know that we can also safely forgo radiation entirely in that setting. So we expect that future studies are going to address these questions and understand when it is appropriate to simultaneously de-escalate surgery and radiation. Additionally, there is a number of trials that are looking at ways in which radiation could be omitted or shortened. So there is the RT CHARM trial, which has reported but not yet published, looking at a shorter course of radiation. And so we do make recommendations around that shorter course of radiation in this guideline, but we anticipate that the additional data from the RT CHARM study will provide further evidence in support of that. Additionally, there is a study called the TAILOR RT trial, which looks at forgoing postmastectomy radiation in patients who, to Dr. Abdou's point, have a favorable tumor biology and a low 21-gene recurrence score. And so we are going to anticipate the results from that study to help guide who can selectively forgo postmastectomy radiation when they fall into that favorable risk category. So there are a number of questions that I think will help flesh out this guideline. And as they publish, we will likely publish a focused update on that information to help provide context for our colleagues in the field and clarify some of these recommendations to suit the latest data. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. We will look forward to those de-escalation trials and ongoing research in the field to build on the evidence and look for future updates to this guideline. So I want to thank you for your work to update these guidelines, and thank you for your time today, Dr. Horst, Dr. Jimenez, and Dr. Abdou. Dr. Rachel Jimenez: Thank you. Dr. Yara Abdou: Thank you.
