A physician member of the AMA—who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation—is sounding the alarm. “The current admin prohibited all communications of the CDC and other agencies with the public. Now, the public and physicians are left with no info on food recalls or disease outbreaks.“

Cares more about getting reelected than about saving the lives of children in America - absolutely violated the Hippocratic oath - people will die needlessly because he did not have the courage to do the right thing #lcsm #pfcc #bcsm #publichealth

Sorry... why are we still referring to Cassidy as a doctor? Surely he lost that honorific today? After knowingly aiding and abetting a man whose anti-science quackery killed Samoan kids and will kill more in the years ahead? How is anything Cassidy did today acceptable under the Hippocratic Oath?

Must read article on #lungcancer screening eligibility by ALCSI’s @alexandrapotter annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S000... #lcsm #pfcc

Good article describing stigmatizing language in medical records -- some of my "favorites" that aren't in the article -- "patient denies smoking", "patient failed treatment" www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... #lcsm #pfcc

There's still a lot of work to be done. None of the states got all A grades #lcsm #bcsm #pfcc www.lung.org/research/sot...

We still have a long way to go to ensure that ALL patients benefit from recent scientific advances in #lungcancer. This study found that overall survival increased by 71% in patients with private insurance compared to only 24% in the uninsured in the US. #LCSM www.jtocrr.org/article/S266...

Neon green dye lights the way to detect tumors during surgery. Currently FDA-approved for #lungcancer and #ovariancancer. Other applications are in the works, according to CEO of On Target Laboratories. wtop.com/drugs-and-me... #CanSky #LCSM #OncSky

Science alert: new administration is imposing wide range of restrictions on NIH, "including the abrupt cancellation of meetings such as grant review panels. Officials have also ordered a communications pause, a freeze on hiring, and an indefinite ban on travel." www.science.org/content/arti...

Good news but need to see the HR and subgroups here, wish they hadn’t teased the “1-year” improvement in median OS. The interim OS HR was 0.8 and 5% diff at 2 years so curve probably very flat around the median meaning median diff can be huge with less impressive HR. #LCSM

Can patterns of progression on IO, inform future decisions? -1377pts from 5 ph 3 trials used to create 3 PD risk levels - low (⬆️existing lesions), intermediate (new lesions), high (both) - risk score assoc w post-PD OS across tumors Prognostic, so far #LCSM jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
