@AlwaysSassy1961@marklewismd@Intermountain@AltaViewHosp Wow, as a stage IV cancer patient for over 5 1/2 years, I beg to differ. Of that time I've had 30+ months of NED, watched my kids achieve great things, traveled many places and truly lived life all thanks to chemo & surgery. Your opinion is only your opinion...
✳️Our article on the value of ctDNA for management of patients with rectal cancer management is out ‼️
Thrilled to work with Dr @adasarimd on this one ‼️
✳️Some key points 👇
@manjuggm@CrcTrialsChat@colontown
The FDA has approved the Shield blood test as a primary screening option for colorectal cancer, providing patients with more choices for screening.
Here is our response. 🧵
Interesting but early CAR-T results from @theNCI in @NatureMedicine: re: 7 #colorectal#cancer patients; 3 pts with response. However, median TTP= 4.6M. DOI: 10.1038/s41591-024-03109-0. Suggesting there may be a future role with additional research. #cancerresearch@OncoAlert #crcsm
🆕🗞️Just out
🪺#NEST-1 trial results👇🏾
Are we on the verge of a new drug combo for colon or rectal cancer?
Substantial & brisk responses to just☝🏾dose of BOT🟢➕BAL🔹🔹 immunotherapy.🙌🏾
Pattern & kill is unprecedented🌊.

Primary Tumor Resection Before Systemic Therapy in Patients With Colon Cancer and Unresectable Metastases: Combined Results of the SYNCHRONOUS and CCRe-IV Trials @JCO_ASCO https://t.co/vxcU6Ng4cY
This is a really important topic for ALL CRC patients to understand, not just late stage patients or those interested in clinical trials. What should you be tested for? When should you be tested? Sign up and find out more!
Keith L. Obstein, M.D. (@KeithObstein), from @VUMC_GI provides an update on the development of groundbreaking robotic colonoscopy technology set to revolutionize the way colonoscopies are performed.

✳️The first step for determination of therapeutic approach of patients with BRAF mutant CRC is defining the class of BRAF mutation ! Not all BRAF mutations are V600E mutants ❗️
✳️ Class II/III BRAF mutants (non-V600) are biologically distinct subgroups and patients with these mutants may derive benefit from EGFR blockade, particularly class III, which is kinase dead (little to no oncogenic activity)‼️
✳️Treatment of early onset CRC carry several nuances ‼️
✳️It is important to provide multi-D including sociopsychological support ‼️

✳️For pts who have clinical symptoms, early referral is key‼️
✳️Diagnostic colonoscopy does not have any target age group unlike screening colonoscopy ‼️
✳️So important to differentiate these two ‼️
✳️Increased awareness of this concerning trend in health care providers is unmet need ‼️
