How can clinicians maintain curative intent when standard chemotherapy is not tolerated?
On BackTable Tumor Board Podcast, Dr. Eric Lander (@EricLanderMD) and Dr. Michael Gibson (@mgibson21212) review real world case scenarios and practical strategies for dose reduction, regimen changes, and switching to FOLFOX or chemoradiation. The episode explores rare scenarios of cure without surgery and the significance of quality-of-life considerations.

Every ASCO plenary drug started as an NIH grant nobody noticed.
This year’s 5 plenary drugs trace back to:
▫️2,762 NIH grants
▪️$803M in public science
▫️29-41 years of runway
Drugs need decades to mature.
So before you watch the ASCO plenary, look at the staircase.
Then ask: "which drugs will be missing from the 2031 version?"

Great work! #crcsm #ASCO23
