For individuals with cancer, diseases in which timely diagnosis can be essential for survival, Medicaid coverage is often the key to accessing necessary tests + biopsies that are rarely covered in an ER under EMTALA. Urge Congress to #SaveMedicaid #ProtectMedicaid ANCO

@imleftylimbaugh Republicans against Trump No scientific data supports the claim that the MMR vaccine contains "millions of particles" from aborted fetal tissue or "millions of DNA fragments." The vaccine is produced using fetal cell lines from the 1960s, but purification removes fetal cells, leaving only trace DNA

Don’t be fooled — DEI is NOT eating up 40% of the NIH budget. What is happening? Massive cuts to the NIH are hurting real medical research, American innovation, and thousands of jobs. If we want to bring manufacturing back, grow the economy, and keep America first in science

My husband was already metastatic when he was diagnosed with cancer. Cancer screening is amazing & necessary, but aggressive cancers can grow (& spread) fast. Even if you never ignore symptoms & get superlative healthcare you can still end up with Stage IV cancer. It is awful.

Flatiron analysis of 34,510 pts with NSCLC on biomarker testing JCO Oncology Practice by Sandip Patel MD FASCO. Steady rise in biomarker testing: in 2023, 89% tested for #EGFR and 88% for #ALK. Not all receive targeted therapy though: only 84% of ALK+ receive an ALK TKI. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/PO…

That's the world's literature on ivermectin in advanced cancer. 8 pts with TNBC getting ICI + ivermectin, 1 response (same rate as ICI alone, in other trials), avg PFS of 2.5 m. So, at present, there is no evidence for meaningful clinical activity of ivermectin in cancer.

This is great and exciting data — but we need caution before assuming it translates to real-world settings. These pts had surgery performed by highly skilled thoracic surgeons at high-volume, top-tier cancer centers. Yet, ~25% didn’t get surgery, and 2–3 didn’t have R0
