In light of today’s final plenary talk, I reflect on our ongoing work Levine Cancer as we expand our reach across the Carolinas - less transplants in those with neighborhood disadvantage and thus worse outcomes tinyurl.com/bdf8xxtt #ASH23 #ASH24

🚨Exciting news presented at #ASH24! From November 2023 to July 2024, our Infusion Immediate Care clinic managed 2,409 patients, saving 3,700 hours of infusion chair time! ⏱️ Increased access to care = shorter hospital stays & improved quality of life. Brittany Knick Ragon, MD

NEW RESEARCH from #ASH24🩸Real-world use of azacitidine + venetoclax in newly diagnosed AML patients shows outcomes similar to the VIALE-A trial. Despite dose adjustments due to toxicity, no significant OS difference was found. #ASH24 Link: bit.ly/4f6aLKB

Thanks to Dr. Catherine Lai for curating this AML crew for a fun 2 days at ASCO HQ - quality time with this team reminds me how lucky I am to be a part of this community of super smart and caring humans. Levine Cancer

I learn more from our Financial Toxicity Tumor Board, spearheaded by Dr. Knight, than I do in almost any other venue. The FTTB goes beyond just declaring a problem but puts the right people at the table to dig deeper for possible solutions and shared resources. Levine Cancer

Some #ASCOfashion with an #ASCO25 #reality - leaving my family for work is always difficult, but leaving a patient when they are not doing well is gut wrenching. But this is why I am here: to find ways to better help those I care for and to renew my hope for the future of care.

A tremendous amount of gratitude to Eric J. Small, MD, FASCO and Clifford Hudis for being visionary leaders of ASCO and our field. And the joy in these images is palpable - surround yourself with a team who cares deeply and is mission-minded, and scale the mountain together.
