Donald Trump has called for MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow to resign due to her critical coverage of the administration. He continues to try and attack the free press - but we won’t let him win. RETWEET if you stand with @Maddow against Trump!

I remember very distinctly when Covid vaccines were rolled out. As an ER doctor, I saw that people who got vaccinated stopped getting super sick. And they were way less likely to die. I also saw that people who didn’t get vaccinated got much much sicker, much quicker. They

BREAKWATER shows that 1L EC+FOLFOX results in mPFS 12.8m and mOS 30.3m!! 🥹🥲 That mOS far exceeded my greatest hope for this study. A great turning point for a bad actor 🙌👊🏻 #ASCO25

#ASCO25 Neoadjuvant or adjuvant in dMMR colon cancer? Looks like we’ll be discussing this at length today. Let’s start with this comparison👇

The most practice changing trial from #ASCO25 is now live on NEJM .If this was a drug, this would be approved today. Globally relevant and low-cost intervention that is not only delaying relapse but actually improving survival. Perfect case example of a #cancergroundshot trial.

If I can achieve the following result with neoadj 2 doses of nivo + 1 dose of ipi, I see no compelling reason to prefer 6 months of chemotherapy plus 1 year of ICI in the adjuvant setting. NICHE-2👇

Great discussion by Myriam Chalabi on ATOMIC I still feel and like many of others, 2 cycles of neoadjuvant IO are enough, for all pts with stage 3 dMMR ca colon pts . We have learned this from melanoma , that neo adjuvant IO is way better than Adjuvant IO Sorry, ATOMIC

The NCCN has included adjuvant atezolizumab (for 1 year) in the treatment of stage pT2c–III dMMR colon cancer. Given the positive trial results, its inclusion is certainly appropriate. However, the guideline adopts a somewhat conservative stance regarding neoadjuvant ICI use,
