Please consider donating to the Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) Obliteride team at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center! 100% of donations will go towards advancing prevention, detection, treatment, and cures for cancer.
Inspiration to all of us here at UW! Congrats, @PaulNghiem, on such an honor and a milestone in the program. You have been the best mentor and friend I could ask for!
Germline variants in cancer predisposition genes such as ATM, BRCA1, and BRCA2 are significantly associated with early-onset Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Genetic counseling and testing should be considered for patients with MCC who are younger than age 50. https://t.co/fgfaCR28Vb
Such an amazing opportunity this week to host a dinner for hundreds of courageous patients and families who have been affected by Merkel cell carcinoma. It was an honor and a privilege to present them with updates on clinical trials here at UW and around the country!
“This cancer (Merkel cell carcinoma) is more than four times more likely to kill somebody than a melanoma,” explained expert Dr. Paul Nghiem (@PaulNghiem) @DermatologyUW @fredhutch@UWMedicine. https://t.co/1uS7ZZ7wr0 #merkelcell
Our hearts are aching at the sudden and tragic loss of our dear friend and colleague, Brad Middleton, MD. A devoted husband and father, beloved son, cherished friend, and physician on the cusp of a brand new and promising career.

Looking forward to making my first trip to Seattle for the 2nd International Symposium on Merkel Cell Carcinoma! Excited to learn from so many experts in this rapidly progressing field. #dermtwitter
@CarolineKetter2 Thanks for sharing your story, Caroline. I am in the same boat as you where I did not match to a dermatology program this cycle. These are some of the hardest times professionally, but know you are not alone and you have overcome many challenges before this. You will succeed!
Excited to complete my intern year at SUNY Upstate Medical University in my hometown of Syracuse, NY. Will keep working hard until my dermatology match day comes! @SUNY can’t get rid of me just yet #MatchDay2022
It’s funny how life really does go full circle for some people. Back to the city I was born and raised in. Disappointed doesn’t begin to describe my emotions for not getting into #dermatology this cycle, but I have strong support in the 315. #Match2022#Cuse
Absolutely devastating images coming out of Mariupol today. Pregnant women and children are now the targets of vicious attacks in #Ukraine. A ban on Russian oil is not enough from the West…
