🎯 What predicts leadership attainment in oncology?

Congrats to Sarah Abraham on presenting this ASCO 2026 poster on outcomes among @ASCO Leadership Development Program graduates. The study highlights associations between leadership attainment, scholarly productivity, and geographic region.

As a current #ASCOLDP participant, I found these findings especially meaningful
Remarkable achievement for Sarah to present an ASCO poster as a medical student!

🚀 ASCO 2026 is officially underway!

Excited to kick off the meeting by presenting our study on authorship trends in Phase III solid tumor clinical trials presented at #ASCO from 2015–2025.

Grateful to @ASCO for selecting our work and to @AzzaSarfraz and our medical students at @FIU for their incredible contributions that made this project possible.

And this is just Day 1.

Our GI Cancer team at @BaptistHealthSF @MiamiCancerInst will be presenting multiple posters and research updates throughout the meeting. More to come—stay tuned!

How do we close the gap between promising clinical trial data and real-world patient care?

Looking forward to joining an outstanding group of colleagues at the Frontiers Meets Frontlines satellite event during #ASCO2026 to discuss emerging advances in GI oncology and their practical application in the clinic.

Thanks to @TotalHealthConf , @Onco_Nexus, and @GIMedOnc for the invitation.

Honored to share the panel with:

Thrilled to present our meta-analysis on immune checkpoint inhibitors in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors at #ASCOGI!
Pooled data show modest ORR but meaningful disease stabilization, highlighting the need for biomarker-driven strategies.
