[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

In the era of doctors' notes being visible to patients (which I support!), we need to talk about:

* "SOB" {Shortness Of Breath!]
* "senile purpura"
* "occult"
* the doublespeak of positive/negative

[Razelle Kurzrock, MD @Dr_R_Kurzrock]

Honored to chair this outstanding conference. 💥🔥🌈🎯
Nigel and Deanna Russell at Genome Web did a great job.
The speakers were so incredible that people were not looking at their iPhones.
Bring together academia, industry, patients to transform precision oncology
