There’s no better way to raise awareness of #ColorectalCancer than a haiku from @ASCOPres 💙🙏#ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth @DFarberYoungCRC @DanaFarberNews @DanaFarber @ASCO

[Kimmie Ng, MD, MPH @KimmieNgMD]

Simone Boseman is one of the bravest and most genuine people I have ever met. She has a gift for transforming complex emotions into powerful words, a gift for forging human connections, and a gift for advocacy. 💙@DFarberYoungCRC @DanaFarber

Very interesting findings that complementary and alternative medicine contributed to financial toxicity.

[Fumiko Ladd Chino, MD, FASCO @fumikochino]

Dr @KaitlynLapen on complementary & alternative medicine driven #financialToxicity #ASCOQLTY23

High costs from #CAM effects up to 1️⃣in4️⃣ with #breastcancer

Downstream effects from tinctures & holistic tx specifically may leave less $ for prescribed meds & compromise adherence.

Please remember this they are tools not diagnostics.

[Matthew Katz, MD 🇺🇸🟦 @subatomicdoc]

Dr. Lori Minasian - a tsunami of multi cancer detection assays are coming or are on the market

Sensitivities of detection are variable. “Positive is signal” not diagnostic #ASCOQLTY23

[Fumiko Ladd Chino, MD, FASCO @fumikochino]

"What she wanted was for someone to say 'How can we improve your quality of life?" ...she wanted to be helped." Ms Dolores Moorehead on improving #pallonc care for diverse populations. #ASCOQLTY23

"When you are in doubt, just be human"

[Laura D Porter, MD FASCO @DrLauraPorter]

Excellent #ASCOQLTY23

[Dr Joseph McCollom DO @realbowtiedoc]

Delores Moorehead of @WCRC presents this vibrant quote emphasizing that #wordsmatter for patients with advanced cancer receiving #pallonc #supponc care. #ASCOQLTY23

[Laura D Porter, MD FASCO @DrLauraPorter]

Excellent presentation sad that in 2023 #LGBTQIA people are still afraid to tell their health are providers. So grateful to live in the #dmv, with great access. @ASCO #ASCOQLTY23

[Dr Joseph McCollom DO @realbowtiedoc]

Dr @CandrianCarey discusses the challenges the #LGBTQIA community faces with discrimination in their medical care which can lead to adverse outcomes. Nearly 50% of patients don't feel safe to come out to their providers. #ASCOQLTY23

[Laura D Porter, MD FASCO @DrLauraPorter]
