These two are keeping up everyone's spirits at @ufhealthcancer.bsky.social today.

In my lifetime we have reduced the death rate from cancer by 40%. #radonc #oncology #cancerscience

13 years ago today I went through The Match and learned that my quest to come to @ufhealthcancer.bsky.social had been successful. It was worth every bit of effort and sacrifice that my family and I put in. I am right where I belong. 🐊 #radonc #cancer #womenwhocurie

I hope you all were planning on surviving old age with no doctors.

It's an amazing day in cancer science here at @ufhealthcancer. So much learning at the UF Radiation Oncology Cancer Science Seminar with special guest Dr. Ramesh Rengan of @fredhutch.bsky.social . Phenomenal discussion. #radonc #oncology #cancer

It is extremely important to the survival of our loved ones that we get in the way of this process that is gutting cancer research throughout our country. Click here to see a simple way you can act. It costs you nothing.

Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe, despite R.F.K. Jr.'s claims. It's remarkably effective at preventing cancer — roughly 97% effective in preventing cervical cancer, and nearly 100% effective in preventing external genital warts.

This is so promising!

We've been thinking about this for a while...bravo Nuradh! @mcrcnews.bsky.social #RadBio #RadOnc #OpenAccess www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

HPV vaccines prevent cancer and save lives. As an oncologist in training, I regularly see the burden and suffering that HPV related cancers cause for my patients. It will involve continuing to build trust, but addressing vaccine hesitancy is vital. #radonc #gyncsm academic.oup.com/jid/advance-...

The benefit of giving ADT with radiotherapy is in preventing/treating early metastasis. So why don't we have the same standard for giving ADT with surgery? Can anyone make sense of that for me? Surgery does not address metastases, this I know for sure. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

"[C]ancer patients are disproportionately affected by claim denials and insurers' [prior authorization] requirements ... The number of nonspecialty oncology drugs that required prior authorization rose from 16% in 2010 to 78% in 2020."

Many pediatric oncology programs rely on philanthropy and have just a small fraction of the resources that St Jude has. If you’d like to support children with cancer, especially those in your area, consider donating to your local children’s hospital.

So much holiday traffic… even the bison are stuck in a jam! ;)

"[Scotland] has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13." That's honestly so amazing.

Great (but very grim) piece from @amymaxmen.bsky.social on the haphazard and slow "coordinated" US federal/state response to out-of-control H5N1:

I feel this.

“As long as two men kissing sparks more outrage than a man hitting a woman, there will always be something wrong in this world”

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

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.

Go Navy, beat Army!!!

To celebrate the closing of my first year as a PI, I present the drastically miss-sized things I have ordered next to what I was trying to order, a thread. #sciencesky #neuroskyence #neuroscience Up first...Rosie the wrench. Silver lining torque is amazing and we now have a lab mascot.

Dr Kaelin gave a very thought provoking talk. He argues single agent therapies will never cure cancer due to resistance. Our chance is cure will come with multiple non-cross resistant therapies, challenging current paradigms. #bcsm
