Jeopardy!'s @KenJennings shares, "November happens to be Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, and we at Jeopardy lost our friend Alex Trebek to pancreatic cancer exactly six years ago, so we’re thinking about him on-set today even more than usual. Thanks to my friends at PanCAN for all they do — and for hooking me up with the ribbon in the photo! Working together, we can change the story of this disease."

Join us in thanking @Jeopardy! and Ken for raising #PanCANawareness with us this November in memory of Alex Trebek. All together, we can. 💜

My wife is the type of thoughtful physician I aspire to be

She’s working urgent care tonight and seeing kids who are too sick to go trick-or-treating so she brought them toys to take home in the hopes they don’t feel too left out

Talk about putting care in healthcare ❤️

[Nazli Dizman @NazliDizman]

🙏The @IMG_Oncologists webinar on how to get involved in clinical trials was a huge success! Fantastic insights and discussions from @montypal @SPremji7866 @GIcancerDoc @royaryam from key concepts to practical applications. 💡 Key takeaways:
🔸Find a clinical niche that aligns with your practice and patient population.
🔸Seek out dedicated, insightful mentors both within and outside your institution.
🔸Show your enthusiasm, say YES to opportunities
🔸Give yourself grace - Clinical trials take time!
🎥 Recording coming soon!

Don’t boo, vote!

There’s nothing scarier than not voting. Enjoy Halloween, but make sure you have a plan to vote on November 3rd.

[Fight Colorectal Cancer @FightCRC]

This Halloween, don't let concerning symptoms go unnoticed. 🎃

- Changes in bowel habits
- Blood in your stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent abdominal pain or cramping
- Fatigue that won't go away
- Narrow or ribbon-like stools
- A feeling that your bowel isn't fully empty
- Nausea or vomiting

These symptoms don't always mean #colorectalcancer, but it's important to talk with a healthcare provider about anything new, persistent, or unusual for you—regardless of your age.

If you're 45 or older, ask about routine colorectal cancer screening. Learn when screening is right for you: take our Screening Quiz at https://t.co/JOYnSxQITa

We @ChrisCannMD published on it with a smaller number but glad I could help change practice patterns at @UTMDAnderson and now @VUMCDiscoveries ! It’s all about patient care. Kudos to our Japanese colleagues to get this phase 3 completed without Pharma support. That’s amazing 👏

PRABITAS phase III trial pragmatic trial enrolled 972 pts in 17M evaluating the schedule of TAS-102 + bev (2 weeks on/2 weeks off) vs. (1 week on/1 week off) which validates non-inferiority and less dose reductions validating our RWD approach in the US. #colorectal #cancer #ESMO2026 @OncoAlert
