When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10% Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR. For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made. I think it’s worth it.

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

When @breastcancerdoc.bsky.social & I are unintentionally matching at our poster on T-DXd in pts with HER2-low lobular MBC. PFS 7.2m in total cohort, shorter in those with PIK3CA/AKT/PTEN muts & trend toward longer in HER2mut. More research needed in lobular BC!

Such important information. But what about in the MBC setting with ER+ disease. Especially with ILC that loves to wonder around the pelvic area.

Folded my 1st cranes for pts completing #radiation this week MD Anderson. I fold cranes as a small private gesture as a bell alternative; when I give them I explain they are a symbol of hope & healing. Paper -like hope- is both fragile & incredibly strong. It's a tiny thing but I do it with love. ❤️
