When the Western really has to work (via DPhil student text) Good to see the old methods live on
Your Western blot module is surrounded by talismans for good fortune. Baby Yoda x 3, a troll and a slightly lost sheep. Surely, it cannot fail you now!

Twitter, as we knew it, is gone, stained by new horrific algorithms that promote misinformation. 🦋 is a much better place for those interested in science. And it’s growing fast. Thanks @jamiedoggett for highlighting our efforts to rebuild a safe place for scientific discussion.

OS results of KN-522 out in @NEJM. Terrific news: adding pembro to neoadjuvant chemo for TNBC saves lives (5% 5-year Δ). Bad news: we’re stuck with giving 5 drugs to all patients with stage II-III TNBC, with permanent toxicity for many. Biomarkers, please! t.co/8S9YWOP1lr

❓ Should we switch chemotherapy for patients with gastroesophageal cancer after 3 months? ARMANI trial published in Lancet Oncol today ✔️ Patients who switched to 2L pac/ram after 3m of OxFU had ⬆️ PFS and OS than patients who continued 1L chemo ❌....but also ⬆️ hospital visits & toxicity.

👏 Great to see this published! VESTIGE is a negative randomised trial with an important lesson.. ➡️ Give adjuvant FLOT even when there's residual cancer after neoadjuvant chemo. 👀 Looking forward to the translational work annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-…
