@DGlaucomflecken As a dual-trained palliOnc I applaud your oncologist portrayal — very good “ask-tell-ask!” 😄

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

A true privilege to close out #GU21 by moderating the RCC rapid abstract session with @SBoorjian to highlight new and innovative RCC data. @ChunLGan @_ShankarSiva @brian_rini, Dr. Jonathon Thouvenin, and Dr. Grant Stewart

So exciting to see such beautiful data about Enfortumab vedotin in mUCC — improved PFS and OS means longer and better lives for patients with this difficult disease! #GU21

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

90% efficacy is similar to many widely-accepted and used immunizations. Not a virologist or immunologist but so glad to have hope for a vaccine that would protect my wonderful #GUoncology and #palliativecare patients

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

Beautiful talk by @SuzanneColeMD at #IKCS2020 about real world use of TKI + IO combinations for treating metastatic #kidneycancer, including financial toxicity

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

Beautiful work by @ShuchiGulati for #IKCS2020 about identifying molecular gene signatures to serve as predictive biomarkers for localized #kidneycancer

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

Truly a great day to tackle #kidneycancer with multimodal therapy alongside Ivan Pedrosa and Rahul Sheth at #IKCS2020. Especially loved highlighting #PalliativeCare as part of best practices foe all of us!

[Tian Zhang, MD, MHS, FASCO (@tiansterzhangmd.bsky) @TiansterZhang]

Watching a fantastic talk from #LibbyWulffBurchfield on palliating unresectable #kidneycancer. Love her pearls on "I'm worried" statements. @KidneyCancer #IKCS2020 @HemOncWomenDocs

@tanyawildes Also KC is just down I-70 and I’d love nothing more than to have you at KUCC!

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

@tanyawildes Dr. Tawnya Wildes, Hematologist, Geriatric Oncology Specialist, Clinician-Investigator, CEO of her own life, and completely badass, inspiring woman I’m proud to know. Sending love.

@DrSGraff Mine too — to her, everything from birth to recent memory is “before the virus” and last 2 months are “during the virus” 😢

[Eric Widera, MD @EWidera]

The #palliativecare community sprung into action to develop #COVID specific communication tools and toolkits. I certainly would love to see the same in response to killings and mistreatment of black Americans. #HAPC #HPM

[KU Medical Center @KUMedCenter]

Students, faculty & staff, along w/colleagues from @KUHospital and @KUcancercenter, kneeled in solidarity today in recognition of the tragic violence and systemic racism facing the Black community. Now is the time to stand together to address racism. #WhiteCoatsforBlackLives

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

Many of us routinely push the eligibility criteria for patients with potentially curable disease, but will this extend to those with metastatic disease?

[Ali Khaki @arkhaki]

#ASCO20
I wonder if JAVELIN Bladder 100 will change what proportion of patients are considered platinum ineligible to get first line checkpoint inhibitors
@PGrivasMDPhD @tompowles1 @urotoday

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

Practice-changing data for metastatic bladder cancer from JAVELIN 100 demonstrating significantly improved OS with post-chemo Avelumab maintenance #ASCO20

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

Impressive data to support Cabo + Atezo for mCRPC — truly novel therapy presented at #ASCO20 for this disease

[Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FASCO @neerajaiims]

#ASCO20 Very promising ImmuneRx combo Cabozantinib + Atezolizumab in post abi/enza mCRPC #ProstateCancer: Glad to present updated results @ASCO after 12.6 mos of median follow up: 32%ORR, 80%disease control rate. Phase III Contact-2 trial enrolling soon. https://t.co/QcEzpFREwX

Dear Emergency Medicine colleagues,
When this mess is over I vow not to give you a hard time if you want to admit someone with a remote history of cancer to the oncology service. If they need to be admitted to someone that someone can be me. Thank you for being THE front line.

[Dr. Shadowgazer @DShadowgazer]

Dear Emergency Medicine colleagues,

When this mess is over, you can all order as many absurd CT scans as you want and I won’t even read the indications before clicking accept.

Keep up the amazing work. You are heroes.

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

Though the symbol of Valentine’s Day is a heart, it should be a kidney this year! Proud to support these great trials with my fellow investigators! #GU20

[Tian Zhang, MD, MHS, FASCO (@tiansterzhangmd.bsky) @TiansterZhang]

We start the day hosting a @ALLIANCE_org @eaonc @SWOG investigator's day for cooperative group #NCTN #kidneycancer trials #PROSPER #PDIGREE & #RADICAL. Thanks for joining for V-day breakfast!

[ewbMD @EwbMd]

So excited to see this great work highlighted — so many patients with prostate cancer ask what else they can do for their cancer control and QOL and I love to see these so-called “lifestyle” interventions brought into conventional oncology care and research.

[Tanya Dorff @TDorffOnc]

Kudos to PCF for highlighting importance of diet and exercise during #ProstateCancer treatment at ⁦#PCFRetreat19 - Brian Focht from Ohio State shows both components require consistency to reduce ADT side effects. Adherence remains a challenge but patients are interested!

@JoshFessel @ctsinclair 1) many pulm folks practice critical care and have a narrow view of palliative care related to inpt palliative care consults for EOL care, 2) so much chronic lung dz is relapsing/remitting, so ideal timing of referral is unclear, 3) doesn’t seem to be a hot funding topic
