Understanding the true cost of the therapies we prescribe is a crucial component in being able to advocate for our patients and provide widespread and equitable access!

This is why observational studies of diet in cancer aren’t reliable.

They reliably fail to be reproduced in randomized trials.

Eat healthy. Live well. But don’t expect it to shrink your cancer.

A huge thank you to Vikings player Alexander Mattison for making our patients smile today! Mattison autographed footballs and answered our patients’ burning questions about his experience as a professional athlete. Check out some of our favorite moments! 🏈

I constantly remind myself as a doctor — as an oncologist especially?! — that the current patient has no idea what’s going on with the last patient or the next patient, NOR SHOULD THEY

Every encounter I have to recalibrate my demeanor to “meet triumph and disaster just the same”

Something I didn't expect to see during my career:

Severe acute and chronic #GVHD <6% in well-matched myeloablative transplantation.

One death due to GVHD out of 125 patients, and that was too many.

It's undeniably a new era in #BMT.
