We need to do more to find effective treatments for leptomeningeal metastasis from solid tumors but this commentary from our team shows we are making some progress as a field! @dukemets.bsky.social @dukecancer.bsky.social rdcu.be/eySK8

Thank you Rep. Foushee! Even amidst everything else happening we appreciate your continued support for #MetsGetsAwareness!

LITT (laser interstitial thermal therapy) uses a laser to destroy unhealthy brain tissue, including new & recurrent brain tumors & radiation necrosis. LITT is minimally invasive - the opening in the scalp is only about as big as a pencil eraser. Learn more: www.dukehealth.org/treatments/n...

This is a phenomenal group! Though I am very biased. 😉 We welcome more to join us and help us with our various efforts! If you have any questions please reach out. 🧠

Check out the ABC11 interview with @lauraaldermd.bsky.social, our Deputy Medical Director, about lung cancer, new treatments, and the Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis. (Her interview starts at the 4-minute mark!) abc11.com/post/abc11-t...

The same lab coat and sign from Raleigh March for Science in 2017 will be making a repeat appearance today. Can't believe we are having to do this. Again. 8 years later.

Excited for the SNO Annual Conference this weekend where I will be discussing "Systemic Therapies for Breast Cancer LMD: A Paradigm for Multidisciplinary Coordination" Intrathecal Chemo is OUT. Systemic Therapies with CNS Bioactivity Are In. More to come Sunday! #oncsky #bcsm

Me: Yay, it's finally sweater season! Me 10 min later: Right. Sweaters mean my cat's claws get stuck when he jumps on me during Zoom calls (which is frequent). Cue awkward attempts to extract a hanging cat off sweater on Zoom while trying to be professional and lead a meeting. 🤦‍♀️
