New podcast 🚨 @ascocancer.bsky.social Cancer is the leading cause of death in US prisons. Despite known gaps in screening, access, & quality care in the carceral system, few studies have evaluated how cancer care is delivered in prison. ascopubs.org/do/improving-cancer-care-patients-carceral-system

Walking in Hermann Park and biking in Buffalo Bayou Park on a beautiful spring weekend. #weekendsinHouston

This 🖼️ features ~1500 corroded pennies. Gathered from @mdanderson.bsky.social fountains but too corroded to be accepted by a bank, the pennies represent wishes, hopes, & dreams reborn as art. It was auctioned to support patient & family services with funds used to fuel hope & healing. ❤️‍🩹

A mini reunion @astro-org.bsky.social #ASTROAdvocacy from Duke #radonc graduates. Many generations of @dukecancer.bsky.social excellent came together this week in DC to advocate for our patients with cancer.

Brunch with some amazing fellow @mdanderson.bsky.social #radonc #womenWhoCurie. We all started at the same time and it's been lovely to "learn the ropes" with this group of dynamic #RadoncWomen.

‼️Where my #radonc at? ☢️ Excited to be part of the first @RTOGFoundation Reception at the #ASCO26 @ascocancer.bsky.social Annual Meeting. Join us for 🍣🥂: 📆 Saturday 5/30/2026 ⏰ 4-6pm 📌 Sunda River North 🧠 Reception sponsored by @Novocure RSVP today! 👉 surveymonkey.com/r/RTOGNovocure

The stars at night, are big & bright 👏👏👏 excited to represent the great state of Texas for @ascocancer.bsky.social #ASCOAdvocacy. We are here to speak about the need for cancer research funding, improvements to #priorAuth, & a permanent telehealth solution.

In DC for @ascocancer.bsky.social Advocacy Summit. Excited to speak to our elected officials about key issues directly impacting people with cancer in the US. But first... dinner with 2 incredible cancer leaders whose work spearheaded new spheres of research & advocacy. @drrobinyabroff.bsky.social

Many happy tears for Dr @trishasantos.bsky.social and Mr Peter Nguyen ❤️

On the big island for Dr @trishasantos.bsky.social's wedding. ❤️

Yesterday I teared up twice alongside patients. Acknowledging human emotion & "being there" sometimes means being vulnerable. We cry together with good news (end of tx) & sometimes with bad news (cancer progression/uncontrolled sx). Appreciated this new comic by Dr @nathanagray.bsky.social on Insta

Had an "Empire of Light" experience this week while leaving work a little after 7pm. The light transitions in spring are so beautiful. 🌅🌄🌇☀️🎇

"Higher #hospice enrollment is only a surrogate for quality if it represents the patient's true goals; we must ensure our evolving payment models do not trade clinical access for administrative ease at the end of life." New #hpm #pallonc @jamanetworkopen.com commentary 👉

Happy #DoctorsDay from the Drs Chino. Honored to have been hooded in 2014 by Dr Junzo Chino with Dr Kazumi Chino in attendance. #aFamilythatRadoncsTogether

Honored to be invited to New Orleans for the #HOPA2026 Keynote. Inspired by the work being presented within oncology pharmacy on improving high quality, patient centered care. Currently sitting in on an incredibly engaging session on ethical dilemmas for pharmacists.

“Will it work?”   “I don't know…   But we have a plan.”   “I don't know” does not mean “I have nothing to offer.” It means “I will not pretend to know when I don't, and I will stand with you in the uncertainty.”   Loved this @ascocancer.bsky.social #ArtofOncology by #radonc Dr Sondos Zayed

Took a weekend on Bolivar peninsula to see the spring migration and nesting colony of herons, egrets, cormorants, and spoonbills. It's hard to accurately describe the massive spectacle... simply phenomenal. #WeekendsInHouston

Conferences share the latest science but they are also essential for building, reinforcing, & protecting community. Seeing friends/collaborators is true #BurnoutMitigation. Blessed to know these 2 & lucky to "grow up" in oncology by their side. 🙌 Drs @lghazal.bsky.social @bthomphd.bsky.social

What does it mean to co-design cancer care 💰🏥 interventions? Who should be involved and how does it work? Excited to speak today at #APOS2026 as part of this all star panel of #financialToxicity experts. Starting 10:15am today Studio 8-9 (2nd Floor) 🙌 Dr @bthomphd.bsky.social

Excited to arrive in New Orleans for #APOS26 after 12 hrs in DC on the amazing @ascocancer.bsky.social communications committee. To get there I spent almost as much time at IAH when my flight out was delayed an improbable 7 hrs (& then I returned w/in <24 hrs for a layover en route to NOLA). 😵‍💫✈️

Who's going to pay for daycare? You're asking us to come during the daytime when a lot of us work. Is it close to a bus line? 🚨 @oncoalert.bsky.social: New @ascocancer.bsky.social podcast on diversity in cancer #clinicaltrials w/ bioethics expert Dr Miller & pt #Advocate @warriormegsie.bsky.social

Of the 15+ years I have lived in Houston, I have never been to the Rodeo until today. So, yes, this was my first time at the rodeo. #weekendsinHouston 🤠🐮🎡

This 📄 reviews the evidence regarding #bcsm reconstruction and #radiation, and discuss the decision-making process for patients with #breastcancer and their providers. @mdanderson.bsky.social @astro-org.bsky.social 📌 rdcu.be/e7LYp

I was impressed with @themednet.bsky.social new AI tool. Preference for sources from high quality journals including guidelines, with additional tailored recs sourced from the extant expert content already present in Mednet. ✅✅✅ I'm a bit of an AI hater but thought this was useful.

#Mammogram today ✅ Grateful to have access to high quality #cancerScreening. Early detection saves lives. 🧠 Know your family history. 🧠 Know your breast density. 🧠 Know your risk.

First time on the #AzaleaTrial 💐🌷🌸🌹🌺🪻 #weekendsinHouston

March 4th. The only date that is also a command. It's been 19 years since my husband died of cancer & my life irreversibly changed. It took me years to feel like I wasn't drowning every minute of every day. Grief & financial toxicity gave me a mission. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This new JCO OP @ascocancer.bsky.social #radonc review for the general oncologist highlights 🗝️ advancements including cutting-edge tx, the evolving paradigm of met disease, & the integration of immunotherapy w/ #radiation. It also explores the critical concerns of access & #priorauthorization.

Picnics, cranes, turtles, cats, and sunshine. #weekendsInHouston

Excited to attend (and speak at) the @mdanderson.bsky.social #Survivorship Retreat. There is an acute need to improve how we support cancer survivors & return QOL in #survonc. Example: Many #AYAC have unmet needs, particularly related to work & school. Vocational counseling can help!

🇺🇸☢️ @astro-org.bsky.social Advocacy Day 2026! Register today for: 1️⃣ guest speakers & Hill meeting training to educate & hone advocacy skills 2️⃣ meetings on Capitol Hill with your elected officials to advocate for your #radonc pts & practice 📆April 27-28, 2026

When my #radonc mom founded her cancer center in Indiana, she named it "Faith Hope & Love". These 3️⃣ things remain key elements to successfully navigating cancer (and life to be honest). She's been retired for years and sadly the center closed. But faith, hope, & love live on!

💊 If you've ever had a friend, family member, or patient face critical illness due to C. diff... you should read this story. Antibiotic stewardship saves lives; we need knowledge, initiatives, and buy-in from ALL medical professionals to fight this uniquely modern problem.

💸 #Financialtoxicity interventions from patient to provider to policy. Ultimately, sustainable solutions must occur at the societal level, where structural reforms in financing, transparency, & consumer protection can promote greater equity & safeguard pt financial well being.

"It’s not just, 'Okay, we’re done treating your cancer. Go back into the world. Good luck.'"   How #survivorship #survonc has improved & what we still need to change in order to provide optimal #patientcenteredcare for everyone after cancer. #ACRO2026

Capacity for receiving appropriate #leusm #lymsm specialty cancer care is a known concern with #MedicareAdvantage plans, but paradoxically, there may be unique advantages for those at the end of life.  🎙️I spoke to Dr Hari Raman from @danafarber.bsky.social for a new @ascocancer.bsky.social podcast

Most people with #breastcancer have heard some piece of cancer #misinformation. There is no EBM basis for #bcsm concerns of cell phones or bra type but this type of false info is everywhere. As physicians we need to be better communicators; trust in medicine is at risk. 🩺⚕️🧑🏻‍⚕️ @gohealio.bsky.social

I wonder how long this post it note has been in this drawer. Also BRB, I am composing a post it note from the POV of the cockroach as a response. "You'll never catch me coppa! muhahahaha" 🪳

High deductible health plans worsen health outcomes for cancer survivors... and access to health savings accounts DO NOT help. Policies should discourage (not promote) insurance plans that disincentivize seeking necessary & lifesaving care. 🙌 Dr @barnesjm.bsky.social in @jamanetworkopen.com

Talking about #burnout helps create culture change that leads to a better environment for all. Grateful to Dr Dan Golden for sharing & @ijrobp.bsky.social @astro-org.bsky.social for publishing "practicing common humanity through public disclosure seems more important than career advancement"
