cancer mortality gaps between Black Am & oyher groups has not budged, esp. in breast cancer. It is time to ascertain accurate risk. Universal genetic testing for cancer susceptibility genes and risk counseling for all Black Americans. nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

I called it yesterday that Mehmet Oz would be up next. If he actually heads Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, I fear for millions of Americans, including my stepdad, who rely on these programs to literally stay alive. These appointments are not just anti-science, they’re immoral.

Likewise. I enjoy your perspectives and content. We need more emphasis on quality of life in patients with cancer around sexual health. We should catch up if you are attending SABCS. Let me know

Dr. Richard Pazdur, a steady and brilliant leader to safeguard patients and help get them ever better options to treat and (I hope some day!) also many new strategies to prevent cancer.

Hopeful that with newer treatments he will do great. Good to ensure he gets germline genetic testing in addition to tumor NGS. He could b carrier of a CDH1 pathogenic variant.

Hi, I do wash them and place each one directly on the prepared surface where they will be cooked, so that there minimal risk of contaminating the surfaces. A lot of cooking methods require handling the raw chicken breading,marinating) I prefer to handle chicken with less salmonella while I do that.

RFK wants to “pause” drug development for 8 years! Does he even know what that means? Drug development means thousands of labs investigating basic mechanisms of disease, preclinical testing , clin trials. It is so nuts I cannot even begin… anyway. We need to strategize what we must do about it.
