Out now in Journal of Clinical Oncology!

Our work on clinical trial endpoints & inclusion criteria in GI oncology trials, and how we can better leverage RCTs to demonstrate the value of RT going forward.

With William A Hall, MD and Ted Hong.

Brief thread below.

A very thoughtful and thought-provoking piece and an excellent tweetorial as well. Shocking stats- while >80% of RT trials have OS primary endpoint, only 32% of systemic therapy trials have OS as the primary endpoint. Just think about it.

Dear Colleagues,
In my capacity as Program Chair, I would like to bring the upcoming EMIM 2024 to your attention: The deadline for abstract submission is 21 November 2023 via emim.eu. We can't wait to see you next spring in beautiful Porto!

Up til now, I was not allowed to pay people what they're worth. I fought it every step of the way and found work arounds over and over. Now I'm happy to say we are allowed to pay people competitively. Come join us at the Henry Ford Pancreatic Cancer Center, we're always hiring!

Bomb shelters, alerts & civil defense in 🇮🇱. 🧵

Friends in US or Europe - how many of you have a bomb shelter in your home?
Since 1951, every building in Israel, residential or commercial, is required to have a bomb shelter. Earlier buildings had basement shelters but since >>

Wow

Just read perhaps the greatest article about a doctors’ diagnostic skills

Not in the medical literature, but in an economics journal!

If you think about diagnosis, follow along

It won’t disappoint

Hello fellow GI oncology enthusiasts! You may already know this but there is a new GI Onc journal out there, ESMO GI Oncology. I just checked out the inaugural issue and it is full of goodies worth reading. Looking forward to more Florian Lordick

This is surprising – was expecting FFX arm to win!

Compared to PREOPANC-1, both arms did better, including the RT arm (that got exact same regimen as in P1).

Look forward to presentation – breakdown of borderline/resectable, toxicity/QOL outcomes, patterns of recurrence.

Happy Wed morning to those who celebrate

🚨🚨🚨SANO-trial!! Been waiting for this one!

Patients with esophagus ACA with cCR after CRT randomized to active surveillance vs. esophagectomy

✅Non-inferior OS and improved QoL with AS approach!

This is 🔥🔥🔥

Looking forward to manuscript to unpack the details
#ESMO23

🚨🚨🚨PREOPANC-2 dropped!

For AR or BR-PDAC, neoadjuvant FFX and neoadjuvant Gemcitabine based CRT (36 Gy/15 fx) had comparable outcomes.

mOS was 21.9 m with FFX arm vs 21.3 m with CRT (HR 0.87; 95% CI 0.68-1.12, p=0.28), and similar resection rates 77% vs. 75%.

Hi Twitter! I am looking for a job, open to industry positions and post-docs. I work in Prof Anne McNeil’s lab (chemistry, UMich) and have experience in polymer synthesis and electrochemistry. Broadly interested in materials (polymers, batteries, semiconductors). Please share🥼🧪

I’m one of the 0.8% of Black women who have been promoted to the rank of Professor in academic medicine. I understand that I am rare. What if we the rare can change what a Professor is supposed to look like? I believe we can!

My lab at Yale can host cancer researchers displaced by the violence. Email me if we can help.
