DoD CDMRP funding for cancer research, a unique funding process that has enabled breakthroughs in science, has $0 dollars going toward kidney, lung, pancreatic, and glioblastoma cancers in 2025. Tens of millions in cuts for research that has saved lives #cancer #research #science

I have no doubt the people who wanted this are happy now. Hate to hope hell visits them here in the US but I sure do #research #publichealth #idiocracy usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

So to recap: āœ… Big talk about slashing prices. āŒ No binding power. āš ļø Real regulatory delays that help drug companies and keep prices high longer. This isn’t reform. It’s a press release. 5/7

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: šŸ“Œ Oct 2022 – Biden signs executive order to lower drug prices. It kicks off Medicare negotiations to make prescriptions more affordable šŸ“Œ Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s order šŸ“Œ May 2025 – Trump signs

I was unconvinced by PADA-1 and I’m still unconvinced by Serena-6. Shortening the amount of time you are on each line of therapy has not historically led to longer survival in HR+ #MBC. It’s too early to assess PFS2 and OS. As Angie said there is psychological and financial tox

Ok the update to the SOFT and TEXT trial is critically important for the general onc community. Please do not put young women on tamoxifen alone as a default. Ovarian suppression and aromatase inhibitor (not tam) is lifesaving. It’s more important than chemo for many #ASCO25

Erika Hamilton, MD (@erikahamilton9) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Completely agree. Many women make the choice to receive chemo for a benefit less than this. It's HUGE! Ovarian suppression and AI is a powerful tool to decrease recurrences.

This is the question I’d like answered. Do ppl actually know/understand how to dose and manage these heavy-duty drugs long-term? I’ve been on H for over 10 years & many are like me. Is there a plan or an idea for maintenance or stopping treatment/monitoring? #cancer ASCO

Chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy is a serious (&lasting; for me 10 yrs and counting) side effect for quality of life. You may think it’s managed by meds but it isn’t, you may think ā€œa little tingling/numbnessā€ is nbd but it isn’t. Glad to see this being talked about #cancer
