Very interesting #ASCO23 abstract. If a patient w/ cancer has HIV, they miss out on 50% of active clinical trials! 🤯 meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres… Worst part? No reason for exclusion in most cases…. More work to do.. Amin Nassar, MD Rafeh Naqash, MD Guru P. Sonpavde, MD Kate Lurain David James Pinato 🇺🇦

I met a person with HIV (PWH) and Kaposi sarcoma this week who was denied cancer care by local oncologists. We look forward to taking over their cancer care on our trial. When is exclusion no longer going to be an issue for PWH and cancer? At #ASCO 2023 meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres…
