Alvaro Alvarez Soto(he/him/his) @alvarezsoto.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Reviewing next generation sequencing (NGS) from patients in the clinic is always interesting. So many TP53 mutations and all of them seem different from patient to patient. From CLL to uterine cancer, TP53 is used to risk stratify many cancer types. TP53 is anywhere you look! 110
Alvaro Alvarez Soto(he/him/his) @alvarezsoto.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Using the SEER database we are finding significant difference in pathological complete response between Black and White women with early stage Breast Cancer. Achieving pCR equalizes outcomes when all groups are combined. 030

Alvaro Alvarez Soto(he/him/his) @alvarezsoto.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Some results from our poster using the SEER database looking into outcomes disparities by race and socioeconomic status. Low socioeconomic status (SEE) means lower survival. When we stratify by race, Low SES means higher hazard risk of death in White and Hispanics but not in Black patients. #ASH 031

Alvaro Alvarez Soto(he/him/his) @alvarezsoto.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Today the UConn heme/onc fellows had our first book club session. Lots of interesting conversations from this book which is basically a classic for anyone training in cancer. #cancer #uconn 130
Alvaro Alvarez Soto(he/him/his) @alvarezsoto.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Tomorrow morning we will have our Global Oncology and disparities of care program! Genetic testing/counseling for patients at risk is common in the US, but great opportunity to learn about their implementation in LMICs. Link to register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 010
