Updated analysis of EV201 Cohort 2 (cisplatin ineligible mUC pts post IO). Enfortumab vedotin showed a 51% ORR with 22% CR, and mDoR of 13.8mo, which is very reassuring of the benefit of EV in this population. #ASCO21

Just Out. FDA Approves FoundationOne®Liquid CDx. Pan-Tumor. Includes blood TMB. Starting August 28. The field is now moving very fast. foundationmedicine.com/press…
I’m incredibly proud of our Foundation Medicine team! Receiving FDA-approval on the broadest #LiquidBiopsy test represents a monumental step in providing more advanced #cancer patients with the #genomic insights that can lead to more personalized care.

After 19 years, I’ve left Stanford. The accumulated gender discrimination and harassment had taken their toll. I shared my story with @kate_selig and @StanfordDaily because I think it is important and hope it will empower others to speak up. THREAD 1/ stanforddaily.com/2020/06/10…

all our preventative screening needs are put on hold... scheduling mammographies, colonoscopies, pap smears, psa's anyone? i'm personally not willing to go near any health care facilities unless it's for an emergency. #COVIDー19

I’m wondering whether it was already here by that time. Is it not possible to check earlier flu cases? I heard samples are discarded but perhaps when an ab test available, we can check recovered ppl.

In my 7 days on one of our (now 12!) non ICU #COVID19 units, I admitted 58 patients for COVID rule out, of whom 50 tested positive. Two died (DNR), 2 went to hospice, and 5 went to the ICU. That is… not my typical gen med service week. Following, some clinical observations.

Excellent presentation of INFORM by Dr. Nadine Tung in germline BRCA1/2 early breast cancer. Neoadjuvant AC x4 pCR 26% vs. 18% with single agent cisplatin x 4. #SABCS19 #bcsm ⁦@FacingOurRisk⁩

KEYNOTE 522 neoadjuvant #tnbc data on path response by RCB in first 600 pts. RCB 0/I 👉74.1% with pembro vs. 63.6% with placebo. Delta 10.5%. Very high rates in both arms. Underscores need to understand who really benefits from PD-1 addition. Need to wait for EFS data. #SABCS19

Beautiful celebration of the life of Dr. Stan Schrier yesterday @StanfordCancer, the father of our division of hematology. Institutional fabric & institutional family so critical in large academic medical centers. He understood this & taught us all to value it. @StanfordDeptMed

Now up, the final post in my series on liquid biopsy advances in 2019H1: combining analytical data with a very simple economic model of screening comes to a shocking conclusion! ihaque.org/posts/2019/08/18/…

This is America: you have to run into a burning building and display the highest degree of heroism to earn the right* to healthcare *(even then, “right” is such a strong word, isn’t it? Let’s just call it a negotiable privilege that can be debated along partisan lines ...)
On #LSSC tonight: Mitch McConnell says Jon Stewart is ‘bent out of shape’ for asking Congress to extend the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. Here to comment is Jon Stewart.
