What a day! The FDA has now approved the combination of oral decitabine/venetoclax for newly diagnosed older/unfit #AMLsm patients based on the ASCERTAIN V trial which I had the pleasure to present in #ASCO2025 on behalf of the investigators.
It was unheard of to treat AML patients with just 2 oral pills, and to see several of our patients some of whom are in their 80s achieve long lasting remissions and be completely outpatient for more than 2 years is really gratifying, especially when you think the average survival of these patients a decade ago was less than few months.
There is nothing better in clinical research that knowing that the drugs you helped get approved will not only help your own patients but will also hopefully help thousands of other patients who you will never meet.
This is the treatment algorithm we’ve used during our discussion with @smitha42 for Colon/Colorectal Cancer!
✅ Early disease
✅ Biomarker & NGS driven approach
✅ Metastatic disease

🚨 LMFAO! New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is being mocked nationwide after she BEGGED people to move back from Florida
4 years ago, she was GLOATING, saying Republicans should "jump on a bus and head down to Florida"
Mamdani will make the problem EVEN WORSE
🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith: "Let me get this straight: If I'm a person in New York who wants to get anywhere from $19 to $30 an hour to shovel snow, I need 2 forms of ID. But Democrats are arguing on Capitol Hill, 'Why should you need ID to vote?' Make it make sense."

Wisdom from a man who was coming to terms with his own mortality.
Take the 2 minutes and 50 seconds to watch this.
Incredible. What a great human being.
After the Browns informed DC Jim Schwartz this morning they were passing him over to hire Todd Monken as head coach, Schwartz was visibly upset, said goodbyes in the building and told other coaches he’s not coming back, sources tell The Insiders.
Schwartz is under contract and Cleveland wants to retain him. But his future is now unclear.
