Long-Term Toxicity of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors @jama.com Here, our stellar fellow #ChrisCronin charts a roadmap of how to quantitate the nuanced toxicities of IO from irAEs to time toxicity towards IO survivorship #CancerCentreIre @oncoalert.bsky.social #LCSM jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Dying on Xmas day is always so hard on those who are left behind. There is little we can do to make that memory ok. Here, our #PCCM fellow and #IM resident went above & beyond to serenade a dying patient on #Christmas morning. #EOLcare @3wishesprogram.bsky.social

Tables and Tornadoes: The Best Tools for the Job? Tables (sometimes BIG) are among most routinely used tools to show data like baseline characteristics & AEs, while “tornado plots” are a standard figure to display AEs & sometimes other variables. But could we do better, esp for live talks? (1/8)

This is a nice review on chromothripsis (aka chromosomal shattering) when a single catastrophic event is associated with lots of genomic rearrangements www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Phase III EXTENTORCH study now in JAMA Oncology - first line chemotherapy +/- toripalimab for advanced #SCLC (n=442). Adding toripalimab improved PFS (HR 0.67) and OS (14.6m from 13.3m, HR 0.80). Of note, >20% of pts had no smoking history - a consistent trend. #LCSM jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

'TrialGPT' A new chatGPT for clinical trials @natureportfolio.bsky.social: - 3 steps: TrialGPT-Retrieval, TrialGPT-Matching, TrialGPT-Ranking - Retrieval identified 90% suitable trials - 42% time-saving in matching a patient to a trial Like, wow #MedSky #OncSky #LCSM www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers! I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more.. This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers 🧪🔬⚕️🩺 Hope its useful! go.bsky.app/FEoaJMc

Superb opinion piece on PCI in SCLC: do we need it in the IO era? Key points: - PCI optional in ES SCLC IO trials - MRI surveillance acceptable in non IO era - in LS SCLC, Adriatic showed PCI beneficial in IO & non IO arms #LCSM #MedSky #OncSky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Paper by Piro Lito et al shows new tricomplex RAS inhibitors "inactivate mutant RAS in a bimodal manner: by preventing effectors from being recruited to active state of RAS and/or by enhancing the ability of RAS mutants to hydrolyze GTP leading to their inactivation." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great to see our young ones at the ESMO Lung Preceptorship 🫁 🇫🇷 Thanks #ESMO for your commitment to training the next generation 🇮🇪 #LCSM
