The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...

New: The largest medical A.I. randomized controlled trial yet performed, enrolling >100,000 women undergoing mammography screening The use of AI led to 29% higher detection of cancer, no increase of false positives, and reduced workload compared with radiologists w/o AI thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

A reminder that when they examine the prostates of men who died of something else (heart attack, car accident), a HUGE percentage of men over 50 have prostate cancer and don't know even know it. We know there are a lot we don't need to treat at all. The problem is figuring out which ones.

#SABCS24 #bcsm #OncSky #RadOnc #MedSky BIG 2-04 SUPREMO: postmastectomy #radiation in int risk #breastcancer did not improve 10y overall survival, incl for node + subset. Stat sig but small ⬇️ in chest wall recurrence (2.5% -> 1.1% abs risk, NNT 63 to prevent 1 CW recurrence) @oncoalert.bsky.social

Great to present this secondary analysis of a prospective randomized trial at SABCS demonstrating decreased acute toxicity with VMAT vs 3D-CRT technique for patients with breast cancer receiving PMRT/RNI! An important treatment option for our patients! @mdanderson.bsky.social @sabcs.bsky.social

Europa trial (70yo ER+ T1N0, mostly 5fx PBI RT vs Endocrine) @Icro_Meattini showing better HRQOL, fewer adverse events, and low recurrence at 2 years. Very encouraging. #radonc #SABC24 Paper out today in @TheLancet #SABCS24

The HPV vaccine has been recommended in the US since 2006. New study out today shows that cervical cancer deaths in young women in the years that followed have plummeted, decreasing 15% per year from 2013-2015. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

#ProstateCancer screening is complicated. Unfortunately, recommendations re: screening are confusing--to the population, to those at high risk, and to physicians, as well. Can we better coordinate our guidelines among major cancer organizations? jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
