I wrote this article for my own catharsis. I never expected it to be peer reviewed. When @NEJM accepted it, I experienced my first panic attack. 1/

So excited to share my first first-author paper! So grateful to everyone who has spent countless hours mentoring me and supporting me through this process. #ayacsm #metastaticcancer

[USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center @uscnorris]

Published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum, Dr. David Freyer & his colleagues discovered that adolescents & young adults are less likely to present with metastatic disease for almost every cancer, except for breast & stomach cancer. Read more: https://t.co/biHxlIFnGk

Sexual function is a vital aspect of QOL among #AYACancer survivors. Read a scoping review summarizing the literature regarding sexual function among this population: https://t.co/b1gXrzyqdH

In response to a recent @nytimes investigation, we have updated our position statement on #sicklecell trait and will focus on education and training to end this injustice. Read more: https://t.co/NyznrAQxig

I can't stress how VITAL it is for those who have #SickleCellTrait or have #SickleCellDisease to Get Screened & Know Your Status! 1 in 13 #BlackAmericans carry the #sicklecelltrait, making them at risk for #RMC. Like Armia says, #RenalMedullaryCarcinoma should NOT go unnoticed!👇🏿

I GOT PUBLISHED IN @NEJM y’all! “As a resident, I have seen racist behavior in every clinical rotation. Sometimes I just want to focus on psychopharmacology, but racism calls me and I must answer.” https://t.co/xpPygZJhIy

[Pat McGann, MD @PTMcGann]

A child with #SickleCellDisease is not eligible for @MakeAWish unless certain criteria are met

For #cysticfibrosis a diagnosis alone is sufficient

Both are life-threatening w/ significant impact on quality of life

The difference is race(ism)

@MakeAWish How do we change this?

Powerful talk by Dr. Bradley Zebrack reminding us to consider the historic/life experiences of AYA patients. Childhood trauma can manifest itself in adolescence/early adulthood. Important to remember our patients are so much more than their cancer diagnosis #NCAYA

[SWOG Cancer Research Network @SWOG]

In @SWOG plenary talk, Dr. Allison Caban-Holt explains the distinction between equality (everyone gets the same bike, whether or not it fits) and equity (everyone has the bike that meets their needs; all can participate). #diversity #equity #inclusion #SWOGonc @WakeForest

What was the biggest factor associated with hearing loss in pediatric cancer survivors treated with a combo of cisplatin and cranial radiation? Spoiler alert: BMT. Complete findings, including updated dose threshold specifications, in our new paper:

📢 REMINDER.

Adults with #SickleCell disease have a lower quality of life in terms of physical function than adults with #Cancer.

Just stop the nonsense and show some empathy for these victims of our healthcare system.

Persistent racial disparities exist in healthcare. This infographic, created by @maddywoz, presents findings from a 2015 #jamapeds study on racial disparities in pain management of children with appendicitis in emergency departments.
