Despite treatment-related fertility challenges, female patients can become pregnant and give birth to healthy children after undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Already excited for #ASH2024 ☺️🩸

[Moffitt Cancer Center @MoffittNews]

At #ASCO24, Allison Graeter, MD (@allisongraeter) presented exciting data on treating #MultipleMyeloma with prior exposure to T-cell directed therapies. #MoffittASCO24

During #ASCO24 we should spare a moment to be thankful to the patients in poorer countries that participate in randomized trials (and often receive subpar therapies on bad control arms), so that more drug options can be approved in the US and other richer countries.

Handy talquetamab tox management tips from @bdermanmd to celebrate its FDA approval! First approved therapy targeting GPRC5D #mmsm

[Allison Graeter (Distler) @allisongraeter]

Important point and definitely a hot topic. Reduction in dose frequency seems to help, and I’ve heard that some groups are using zinc as prophylaxis to dysgeusia. Hoping to hear better prophylaxis/treatment strategies soon, lots of questions on this one at #ASCO today!

[Moffitt Cancer Center @MoffittNews]

Join Allison Graeter, MD (@allisongraeter) tomorrow at #ASCO24 for a discussion on multiple myeloma with prior exposure to T-cell directed therapies.

⏰: 6/3 from 9:45-11:15 a.m. CDT

Dear TKIs,
We thank you for your service - it was a good 25+ years, but it's time to move on. We're now entering the asciminib era. #ASCO24

#PLWH are at higher risk of HPV and Hep B, viruses that can cause #cancer. Did you know the #HPV vaccine reduces the risk of developing cervical and anal cancer, and the #HBV vaccine reduces the risk of developing liver cancer?

"Among participants with advanced cancers entering ICI clinical trials...baseline CD4 counts do not differ by HIV status, low CD4 counts occur irrespective of HIV status, and CD4 counts <350 cells/µL do not appear to increase the risk of adverse events (AE) or impact survival"

[CancerFreeHIV @CancerFreeHIV]

For #PLWH, #HAART is just the first step in living well with #HIV. Be sure to see your #PCP for regular visits, eat healthy, exercise daily, make healthy lifestyle choices, and get recommended #cancerscreenings

If it’s safe enough to get pregnant without a prescription, it’s safe enough to get oral contraceptives without a prescription

Honestly medical schools should show students examples of an intemized bill from an ER visit/hospital stay to have context on how costly each decision we make is for patients. I just got hit with my ER bill from my lovely visit last month and my jaw actually hit the floor

Intern year is bizarre. On Monday it’s “call yourself a doctor, don’t use your first name, patients need to respect you”. Tuesday is “why is an intern here, you’ve only been a doctor for 10 days, and first name introductions to patients as a doctor in training” 🤗#medtwitter

[CancerFreeHIV @CancerFreeHIV]

Did you know #HIV treatment (#ART) can also prevent cancer in PLWH? Uncontrolled HIV > low CD4+ count > immunosuppression > cancer (Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cervical cancer, etc)

ART > controlled HIV > improved CD4+ counts > stronger immune system > less cancer.

[CancerFreeHIV @CancerFreeHIV]

Great figure by @sung_yun_pai @drkatelurain and Robert Yarchoan showing the relationship between immune defects caused by #HIV and how they can lead to #cancer. Let’s break it down! (1/5)

Maybe I’m missing something but specifically needing to verbally consent patients for HIV testing (but not other infections) is a bit sus

[Allison Graeter (Distler) @allisongraeter]

So many incredible scientists and physicians here that I decided to pursue medicine and ultimately heme/onc. Still a LONG way to go but thankful for the opportunity to complete part of residency training here @USFIMres… and ready for some new research projects!

Humble little moment walking across the bridge today @MoffittNews as a “doctor” (haven’t adjusted to that title yet). I remember walking across this bridge full of excitement 10 years ago as a college freshman heading to my first day in a research lab. Its truly thanks to (1/2)
