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.

The findings suggest that AI contributes to the early detection of clinically relevant breast cancer and reduces screen-reading workload without increasing false positives.

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.

Europa trial of RT vs ET for early stage breast cancer

Single-modality endocrine therapy versus radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery in women aged 70 years and older with luminal A-like early breast cancer (EUROPA): a preplanned interim analysis of a phase 3, non-inferiority, randomised trial
Endocrine therapy was associated with a greater reduction in HRQOL, as measured by GHS, compared with radiotherapy at 24 months. While these interim results suggest radiotherapy might better preserve HRQOL in older women with low-risk early breast cancer, further data on disease control outcomes and final patient accrual are needed to draw definitive conclusions.

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!

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?
