Getting Elacestrant combos approved and thus accessible is going to be a big deal for many MBC patients.

An important negative trial!

New research from #SABCS25 suggests acupuncture may help ease “chemo brain.”

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

So much great research coming out at #ASCO25 that will have a major impact for patients with #breastcancer

And as a community med onc, thrilled to see new data come out for several agents we have in clinical trials & can offer to our patients close to home! 🏡

Nutrivention: Food as medicine Nutrivention is using dietary interventions to impact response to cancer treatment. Increasing fiber intake can improve response rates for patients undergoing immunotherapy treatment for melanoma because fiber is a food source for beneficial bacteria in our gut microbiome. Increasing fiber intake to even just 30 grams per day may lead to positive changes.

Researchers at MD Anderson are leading the way with studies like the Diet and Immune Effects Trial (DIET), which explores how diet may impact response to cancer treatment.

New results from this important study will be shared at #ASCO25. Learn more: http://spr.ly/63324N2YtA #EndCancer

In advance of #ASCO25, @cmannunziata.bsky.social told me, “We are worried that the cuts to the NIH will drastically impact our ability to do research, to find these new molecular mechanisms of cancer and develop new cures. If we don't have the funding to do the research, this will not happen.”

#ASCO25: Artificial Intelligence assistance can help improve accuracy in identifying HER2-Low and HER2-Ultralow breast cancers, avoid misclassification “Accurate HER2 scoring is important to ensure that patients receive the best treatment for their breast cancer. This international study shows that an AI-assisted approach improved HER2 scoring, inclu...

Look for UA in today's Eugene Weekly. There is an article on page five and this beauty!

This could mean we patients won’t get the next breakthrough treatment.

That’s the same basic idea behind the current system of indirect cost rates for universities.

A university has buildings with labs and furniture and electricity and IT systems (and on and on). They don’t need to buy those things all over again each time a new research study is funded. 7/

ICE On Your Campus Questions to Ask Your Administration 1. What is campus policy with regard to working with federal immigration authorities? 2. Who should faculty contact in the event that they are approached by ICE agents? 3. What private/limited-access spaces can you make available where ICE agents cannot enter unless they have a valid warrant? 4. Are you planning to communicate with students, staff, and faculty about their privacy rights? These rights include the right to deny immigration officers entry to their homes (including dorms) unless officers have a judicial warrant, and the right to not respond to the questions or statements of an immigration officer who is seeking to enter their home without a judicial warrant. 5. Are you planning to communicate guidance that, if a federal immigration enforcement officer seeks to enter a limited-access area on campus, students and workers should ask the officer for their name, identification number, agency affiliation, and business card, and inform the officer that they are not obstructing their process but need to contact the campus legal counsel for assistance? 6. What campus authority should students contact if they are contacted by ICE? What Chapter Leaders Can Do Now 1. Provide to faculty any campus plan or policy and any campus authority contact. 2. Create a list of immigration attorneys who can be contacted in case of emergencies day and night. 3. Distribute a family preparedness plan template to your members. Example: aaup.org/ILRC-plan 4. Conduct Know Your Rights sessions for your members; these do not have to be done by an attorney. Recommendations for Organizing on Your Campus Engage members via a petition, open letter, high-participation meeting, in-person demonstration, or other collective action to demand that your campus administrators: 1. Not comply with ICE to detain or deport students, faculty, or staff unless legally required to do so. 2. Ensure that noncitizens understand the difference between an …

From @aaup.bsky.social, what to do if ICE is on your campus.

I’m trying to figure out where all my cancer meds are manufactured tonight while worrying about access and shortages. It sure is a fun time to have cancer!

Let’s try something. We here at @altnih4science.bsky.social want to boost descriptions of NIH-funded science.

If you’re a scientist with a post or thread that describes your work, please tag us or DM us, and we’ll repost.
We’ll use the #NIHFundsGreatScience hashtag so people can read in future. 🧪

Medication approved!!! Thank you, everyone!

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Thank you for the kind comment about my first book. And I’m pleased to meet you!

Thank you! My oncologist requested it! It is is pending.

#Eugenics on a global scale

Who knew “and then they came for the cancer patients” was gonna be so high up in the poem?

And I know this is small potatoes with everything going on right now. I’m just trying to stay alive through it all.

Does anyone have advice on how to write a strong appeals letter? My insurance company won’t cover the medications keeping my liver, brain, and bone mets (from breast cancer) stable. I feel like my life is riding on this appeal…because it kinda is. #bcsm #cancer

I was set to enter a clinical trial in February.
It's since been canceled.
You are spot on with "cancer itself will not agree to such a delay."
