I’ve been in the exercise oncology field for 20 years and for all of that time, the main criticism has been “show me a well controlled RCT.” Well, here it is. Exercise following adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer reduced recurrence and improves OVERALL SURVIVAL! #ASCO25

BMI analysis of ASCENT. Overweight/obese pts experienced higher rates of serious AEs (34% vs 18%) with SG and 41% of obese pts required dose reduction (vs 10%). Should we cap the dose of SG for overweight/obese pts, similar to other ADCs (eg EV, Dato-DXd)? esmoopen.com/action/consume…

Looking forward to important findings and conversations about environmental exposures (microplastics, chemicals/particles/endocrine disrupters), lifestyle (exercise, diet, stress) and more on cancer risk.

What happens when you query chatGPT with 362 breast cancer cases? -46% responses differed from breast cancer expert opinion -when the same case was entered 3 times, the responses differed ~2/3 of the time ! -for examples, see đź§µ..

An honor to receive funding for this work from The V Foundation for Cancer Research for Cancer Research. We hope to be able to better understand how improving metabolic health through exercise or weight loss reduces the risk of cancer. Couldn’t ask for a better partnership!

New updates coming, but first- It’s hard to put into words what this group means to me - mentors, friends, family. I’ve leaned on them, laughed, cried, and grown with them. This isn’t goodbye, just deep gratitude for every moment we shared- and more to come. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Dapiglutide is a first-in-class dual GLP1/GLP2 agonist. A hypothesis is GLP2 agonism can have a unique anti-inflammatory effect. Phase 1 Data presented at #ADA2025 today

We need nutritional screening in every cancer patient, even normal weight, through body composition & at molecular level. Patients' stratification can help us assess nutritional/metabolic risks of inflammatory implications in cancer #lipidomic npj Journals nature.com/articles/s4152…
