💯- the NCTN is complex but our trials are asking — and answering — many highly relevant questions for everyone that industry is not incentivized to answer.

Important findings from Journal of Clinical Oncology on systemic anticancer treatments at EOL Camilla Zimmermann MD PhD 📊 KEY FINDINGS from 68,963 cancer patients: 26.6% received systemic therapy in last 30 days of life Immunotherapy use at EOL ⬆️ significantly ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…

Our patients deserve honest prognostic discussions and quality EOL care. Even "novel" therapies don't change the fundamental importance of knowing when to shift focus from disease-directed to comfort-focused care

Remember: it’s only “practice-changing” if, through shared decision-making, our patients discern benefit and are willing to switch or add to their therapies post-#ASCO25 Thanks to ASCO for these useful after-conference resources 👇🏻

Important reading for all clinical trialists: always be aware of (and transparent about!) the event „classification“ for your study endpoints. Great work by ABCSG led by Dominik Hlauschek! doi.org/10.1016/j.esmo… MedUni Wien

Very excited the primary psychosocial outcomes of the MATCH (Mindfulness and Taichi for Cancer Health) trial were published today in the ASCO Journal of Clinical Oncology. Largest comparative trial of #mindbody therapies to date. Free full-text here: ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.120…

Did someone say "conflicts of interest" and "advisory committees"? As it happens, I have a few thoughts about that. Usually, I mumble these things quietly to myself, but this time, STAT published my hot take: statnews.com/2025/06/12/rfk…

Two reasons for caution in our expectations for how AI may affect administrative overhead in healthcare are: - Most areas of admin friction were readily addressable through the technology of 10-20 years ago, but remain with us - Most problems are not computational at their core

This painting (Fildes’ The Doctor) is like a Rorschach test of how I’m feeling as a physician Often I see the virtue of presence, where we literally cultivate our bedside manner Other times I discern the intractable progression of disease we are powerless to halt It’s both

Did you know you can donate blood in honor of an MD Anderson Cancer Center patient? If they don't need🩸, they get an honorarium credited to their account. I'm giving platelets today in honor of one of my pts. Talk about immediately reducing #financialToxicity in small but measurable ways!

#AI has improved my efficiency in clinic. But in other industries, AI in the name of efficiency turns employees into "Quantified Workers". #Doctors aren't immune. In NEJM,I.

Love this quote from Julie Gralow. We can't view #AI as a physician replacement, nor can we reduce #efficiency gained by #AI as turning #docs into a cog ⚙️ Thanks Ravi B.

Happy Birthday to MD Anderson! As Dr. Glaucomflecken recently told us, growing up as a child in Deer Park, Houston, he simply couldn’t figure out why the good “Dr. Anderson” had the “MD” before his name. 😆 P.S. - it’s Monroe Dunaway

Microsoft claims their new AI framework diagnoses 4x better than doctors. I'm a medical doctor and I actually read the paper. Here's my perspective on why this is both impressive AND misleading ... 🧵
