@LocasaleLab de gustibus non disputandum est. it’s like arguing with Swifties about her music not having merit. And asco nothing if not onanism en force
With a new congress and new administration coming soon, now is the time to restore independent, physician-led care.
Legislative priorities:
-Repeal the ban on physician owned hospitals. Why can private equity own hospitals but physicians can’t? Let physician owned hospitals challenge these large non profit conglomerates?
-Implement site neutrality. Medicare shouldn’t pay hospitals more than private independent clinics for the exact same service.
-reform 340B. This massive drug discount program is being abused by large hospital conglomerates. It gives another competitive edge to hospitals over clinics and is costing taxpayers billions.
-repeal stark law. Why can a hospital refer patients internally, driving up revenue from more tests and treatments but physicians can’t do that with their independent practices?

@AaronGoodman33 I’m supposed to recertify in onc next year at the ten year mark. What is the incentive if I pass and get to have “not certified” by my name.
@n8pennell@Alfdoc2@DrewMoghanaki@BobakParang@JackWestMD@oncology_bg Have any stage iv patients with low burden disease been cured with osi alone? Put differently is there a threshold mrd for the existence of a persisteter cell? Also a counter point to above argument is that osi ORR not better than 1st gen that don’t work adjuvantly.
@VPrasadMDMPH@Plenary_Session Control arm OS curves stratified by osi exposed/unexposed would've made sense; not in supplement. also wondering when we collectively forget the natural history of cured resected NSCLC is <5y and start advocating for 10years of osi when we start seeing late relapses.
Incredibly honored to receive this recognition of our lab’s work on KRAS(G12C) especially @JonathanOstrem and Ulf Peters who teamed up to drug the undruggable. Thanks @frankpmccormick for introducing me to the beating heart of cancer. @UCSFCancer @HHMINEWS @KRASKickers
