So pleased to join Syed A. Ahmad and all the SWOG Cancer Research Network co-authors on this important analysis of a prospective peri-operative #pancreaticcancer @NCICTEP_ClinRes trial. 👉Greater Chemo dose delivery correlates with improved survival👈. We see it everyday Rutgers Cancer Institute RWJBarnabas

Agree wholeheartedly Dr. jordan berlin ! We need to give encouragement and support to our junior colleagues- and academic “credit”. More important than ever with status of future grants uncertain. Give up that first slot once you are academically secure.

Good point Dr. Cathy Eng ! I have often wondered this, considering the incidence of CRC among the military & vets exceeds some of the other dx! Hopefully funding will continue and more will be available #CRC. Latest trials Rutgers Cancer Institute RWJBarnabas

National statistics (SEER) tell the story! When I started oncology median survival for stage IV colon cancer was less than 1 year. Today, and 8 new drugs later, people are living 3 times as long. Get latest clinical trials at Rutgers Cancer Institute RWJBarnabas #MorrisCancerCenter
