We found almost all male‼️ & 8/10 female‼️ early-onset colorectal cancer survivors reported sexual dysfunction, while only half‼️ reported sexual health discussion w/their provider. Interventions are urgently needed to improve health outcomes @TheColonClub

✳️Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer related death among males aged 20-39 and 40-49 ‼️It was third among 20-39 age group last year.
✳️ Concerning trend is also seen in young women; CRC related death and will likely surpass breast cancer in near future @OncoAlert

This was the last slide of my patient-physician talk at #ASCO23 & it contains my whole heart

Professionally I believe that "caring for the patient" is the 'true north' of oncology

Personally I would not be alive without my loving wife, Stasha; here's to the unsung #cosurvivors

Prospect meets with its primary endpoints ‼️

Congratulations on completion of this important study for our community ‼️

✳️Key points as below 👇@OncoAlert @TheColonClub @manjuggm @CrcTrialsChat @CrcChange

[Ibrahim Halil SAHIN, MD @IbrahimSahinMD1]

✳️Just learned that some insurance companies can opt out standard of care costs if a patient is enrolled in a clinical trial ‼️
✳️This is quite unethical and can’t believe even this is even legal in the US ❗️
