🚨BREAKING NEWS!🚨 Our groundbreaking study reveals the harsh reality: Sexual minorities facing chronic physiologic stress are OVER TWICE as likely to die from ANY cancer compared to their straight counterparts with low stress levels. 💔 It's time for action! 😡#CancerDisparities
Excited to follow up my ONS talk with this interview!
"Starting to normalize sexuality in #oncology care is a huge unmet need in #survivorship across populations." Hear insights on improving survivorship for #LGBTQ #cancer survivors in this #ONS interview with Dr. Megan Mullins (@MAMullins) of @utswosph:

Hospice care can be a powerful support, and there are heroes working for all types of hospice agencies.
But I’m not sure I’ll ever feel comfortable with the idea of hospice for profit.#hapc #PalliativeCare

I am excited to continue working with @NRGonc to understand and improve cancer care delivery for LGBTQ+ folks. SOGI data collection is just the beginning!

We must save hospice. statnews.com/2022/12/14/hosp…
Recent article by @AvaKofman has sparked heated discussion w/in hospice & palliative care. Much of it defensive. My MD colleagues seem the exception. General sense among HPC docs is: Enough! Time for clinicians to take back our field.
I am very excited to spend the day learning about best practices for addressing the health needs of LGBTQ cancer patients and survivors with #nccnpolicy !

If you aren't comfortable talking to your patients about #sexualhealth, at least ask them if they would like a referral to a specialist who can address their concerns. #TheStruggleIsReal #LCSM

Can We Talk About Sex? Feasibility of universal #SexualHealth Screening for patients with BRCA1/2
🚨39% screened positive for sexual dysfunction, among which 29% had never previously discussed symptoms with a provider
It was great presenting these findings from our pilot with @NRGonc at #ASCOQLTY22. Providing a safe space to disclose sexual orientation and gender identity can advance our provision of patient-centered oncology care.

Dr @MAMullins & team evaluated provider & clinic level barriers to #SOGI data collection NCI #NCORP sites
Barriers include clinician-perceived low priority of data collection & perceptions that SOGI disclosure does not influence care quality

As I see all of the great tenure and promotion tweets at @UMRogelCancer, I am excited to belatedly announce my transition to @utswcancer where I am embarking upon the tenure track and launching my research program to improve the quality and equity of cancer care for North Texans!

This picture is worth a thousand words. Uterine cancer & cervical cancer survival rates are decreasing! This is why we (@KemiDoll @VonettaMW @AdrienneEcana @ECANAwomen @ucan2020 & many more) are speaking up. Let's invest in education/advocacy/research needed to tackle this issue!
Great graphics and global overview on cancer prevalence and therapeutic improvements in this article. Overall cancer survival rates have moved from 50% end of the 70s to 67% in 2013.
