"If your risk of recurrence is 2 in 100, and I improve that even 50%, that means I treat 100 women, one woman benefits, 98 was never going to have recurrence, and one doesn't benefit no matter what you do."

When we are in a crisis, we go into fight or flight. Working more is fighting. It is a response to the crisis, a way of getting your family to safety.

No woman should be told she cannot have hormones after breast cancer.

CHOICES provides education and evidence review in oncology and hormone therapies. Not medical advice. No physician-patient relationship. Consult your own healthcare team.

@Dr_R_Kurzrock So true. We need to establish this for trial reporting in journals so patients can have true informed decision making discussons.

Candles get used, memories and dreams get treasured & shared.. a joy for all!

@ASCOPres @ASCO @DrEricWiner Congratulations Sr Winer for a superb year and welcome Dr Schuchter! Know it will be another year of meaningful advances under your leadership.

[Linda Bosserman MD, FACP, FASCO @drbosserman]

We should be requiring summaries of results in all presentation that are for patients- how many per 100 who take the therapy benefit in what ways va standard and how many per 100 have specific side effects. Reporting % improvement vs standard or placebo is not patient centric.

For the trials presented at #asco23 and other major meetings, it’s ok to think for yourself ans ask whether the trial was really well done, rather than just join the crowd. Also BTW, the reason we have “Discussion” after every talk is to ask critical questions.
