Great job by all of my trainees and team at #SABCS2025!!

Honored to moderate the outstanding local therapy session! Three trials now coalesce around 8Gy x 3 to a small preop focus as an immune engaging dose in breast cancer. Exciting space to watch! Interesting radiation analyses from Insema too. #radoncsky #cansky #sabcs2025

I actually think some incremental research is crucial to effective execution. A research big bang doesn’t achieve a massive impact for patients w/o many,many incremental advances to understand the scope, limitations and nuances. Sweeping generalizations are not overly useful in research impact.

“If your doctor first treats the symptoms as an infection and they don’t improve within a week, ask for more tests, such as imaging or a biopsy, to find the cause. If redness or swelling continues, especially if you’re not breastfeeding, ask for a follow-up visit right away.”

Read how understanding and tracking recent changing trends for lobular breast cancer are important—not only to improve care for those affected by it, but also to advance NBCC’s overarching mission to end all breast cancer. https://nbcc.info/4qmyBbS

Very cool post, thanks for finding our initial paper on this issue interesting. Turns out we had another one just out, where we extend the idea of critical ignoring and relate it to the detrimental consequences of information overload: doi.org/10.1016/j.co... 1/n

Honored to be a presenter at IBC Community Connect Conference - it’s wonderful to be in the presence of so many brilliant, dedicated people. #IBCCC2025 Thank you @ibcradiation.bsky.social for bringing everyone together.

A lot of people aren’t going to want to hear this but letting a tiny group of people hoard all the wealth - because of the delusion that you could somehow ever get into that group through hard work or merit - is actually the cause of most of the problems in this country

Discovery of the number of ways cancer cell hijack other cells to promote their growth and spread keeps proliferating www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Vinay Prasad, a former adult oncologist, has moved to disrupt the childhood vaccine schedule by asserting - against all evidence - that administering multiple vaccines at the same time “could blunt their efficacy.” The added burden/delay of separating shots would sharply reduce US vaccination rates.

Maybe the best news in months! NIH!!!

Doctors have found a drug that is better than aspirin at preventing heart attacks & strokes, in a discovery that could transform health guidelines worldwide. Clopidogrel, a commonly prescribed blood thinner, is more effective – and with no extra risk. 🧪🫀 #medsky www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
