We found that low-enrolling AYA clinics were more likely to experience upstream barriers to enrollment (e.g., trial availability) than high-enrolling AYA clinics. Highlights the need for tailored interventions in #AYAcancer. #ayacsm @mroth_MD
Everyone rallied around you while you were in treatment because that was supposed to be the hardest part of cancer but when everyone walked way while you were still recovering that actually became the hardest part of cancer.
If you're currently on the job market or are soon to be, come check out the webinar I'm hosting with @DrClaireC and @BehavioralMed on "Preparing for a Job Search in a Post-Pandemic World!"
.@LizSiembida and I are organizing a @BehavioralMed webinar on "Preparing for a Job Search in a Post-Pandemic World". We have a fabulous group of speakers, including @S_Craddock_Lee of @utswcancer, Jill Koshiol of @IRPatNIH, and Damali Martin of the National Institute on Aging.
@DrClaireC@BehavioralMed So many domains! I’ve got some interesting work going on looking out how symptoms/functioning are differentially impacted by specific comorbidities among older cancer survivors. It’s an exciting area of work!!
Reposting "academic decision algorithm" because
1. I used it this morning to decline an opportunity that didn't fit into a green box, and
2. Several people asked me to post a version that includes the attributable twitter handles.
Thanks again to @JosephHyder#Meded#medtwitter
The mental strain of being a cancer patient is definitely not discussed as much as the physical, but every three months comes the realization that all of the planning you’ve been doing for your future could be ripped away from you with the next scan result, and it is terrifying.
Advances in medical technology allow a growing number of hospitals to offer “interactive patient-care systems”—tablets with controls and apps that put medical information right at the fingertips of patients and their families. https://t.co/3j0RluTFrc #digitalhealth
Kathleen McTigue @PittDeptofMed: In order to make the right decision for the right patient in a given moment, it’s a complicated mix of information, from both the physician and the patient, that has to be brought together to make the right choice. #BPClive
#AYAs often use social media to answer questions about health, share info & foster relationships. #caregivers also use it to share updates, access info, get advice about coping, & find social support. #careforthecaregiver. @WarnerEcho shares more here: https://t.co/d2CFvi5uFr
I’m excited to continue to be part of the research to figure out the best ways to provide this long-term support and identify how we can monitor for the late effects that are most critical to #AYACancer needs #AYACSM#AYAware#cancer#survivorship if you have thoughts put them ⬇️
Cancer in young people can be debilitating with long term effects that can cause significant health problems throughout their lives. Young survivors need long term support, regular screening for known late effects, & emotional support. #AYAware#AYACancer#AYACSM#JoinTheHerd
