I shared the ASCO stage with Dr Dawn Hershman when we were both awarded a career development award as we were starting our careers. Amazing to share the stage with her again as we are awarded once more at #ASCO25. Truly honored and excited to do so.

Thank you @nytimes.com for highlighting the impact of federal funding cuts on research & patient care. We share a common mission to improve the lives and wellbeing of others, and we share common values that everyone deserves the best care and treatment opportunities.

Excited to see #PROCTCAE and #GP5 in the inavolisib label! Recurring points in the FDA discussion about needing dose optimization in early drug development to lower doses, maintain efficacy, and improve tolerability. Also comments about needing enrollment of diverse patients. #SABCS24

Thank you all for your advocacy- I would just add - it is not just about measuring pro’s - it’s critically important to mitigate side effects early to help improve tolerance

Such an important topic - so glad #SABCS24 included this in the program. More work needed to figure out how to include #PRO-cTCAE as an endpoint

"Because health insurance has become the face of both the rising premiums and the intrusive cost-containment efforts that are largely delegated to them, they have become the primary target of that anger. But it’s not just insurers," Elliott S. Fisher writes: www.statnews.com/2024/12/05/u...
Insurance companies like United Healthcare are not the only ones to blame for a broken system
The public response to United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder misunderstands something important.
