Grateful for support from @lcrf_org to tackle the important area of immunotherapy resistance in lung cancer.

[Megan Burger @MeganBurgerPhD]

November is #LungCancerAwarenessMonth. Burger lab was happy to participate in @OHSUKnight’s Pink and Pearl Campaign to talk to the community about #LungCancer screening and immunotherapy advancements for treatment. A simple 15 min test can catch it early and save lives!

@RuthJeanNapier @MohamadBittarMD @rheum_cat Fundamental/foundational are more accurate. Also helps steer things away from the paradigm where everything needs to be translational to be relevant.

@BK_radiation @WUSTLmed Congratulations!!! This is amazing! ❤️

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@FlavioRochaMD @PDXJapaneseGdn @thenodoguro How? I need this. 😂

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@rebecca_bekker Yes, definitely send the link! Congrats on your defense!

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@dmkoffler Curious what your therapy is that this would be possible as a primary endpoint. IO/RT combinations haven’t translated well from the mouse models, so I’m wondering what you’re proposing.

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@theLundLab @OHSUKnight Very cool!

[OHSU Radiation Medicine @OHSURadMed]

Today, @OHSURadMed is celebrating #ThankaResidentDay! 🌟 Thank you to our amazing and dedicated radiation oncology and medical physics residents! They are the heart and soul of our department and we are so thankful for them today and everyday. #ThankAResidentDay 🙌👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

@MohammadKhanMD What does fairness have to do with it? The whole process is designed to slow delivery of care and make it harder to proceed. It's not like they are hiding their intentions.

@EvanThomas84 @joshuapalmermd @ASTRO_org @_ShankarSiva @DrewMoghanaki @Raj_Singh_MD @DrRajuRaval @SamuelChaoMD @DrJohnSuh I feel seen…

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@RonaldChenMD @UHC I’ve had some truly horrifying denials from UHC. I’ve gotten the same RadOnc peer reviewer more than once who has told me “It doesn’t matter what the evidence says. It’s not in the UHC policy. If they wanted different treatment they should have picked different insurance.”

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@FlavioRochaMD @Jon_BrodyPhD Decent seats! 👍

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@StudentDocStass So… why? 👀

[Josh Walker @Josh_Waka]

@HCCvPDAC What did you buy? 👀

[OHSU Knight Cancer Institute @OHSUKnight]

“The biggest benefit in mortality has been #LungCancer screening and early detection.”

@SprakerMDPhD Your focus on those topics is not lost and definitely appreciated. I think the focus on job market, future earnings, physician supply has drowned out a lot of these other topics in a lot of forums.
