Good Morning ATX. Great to be back and fantastic to see this reminder @AustinAirport that the #1 cancer center in the world is coming to town to #endcancer in central Texas and beyond!
According to @beckershr, the population of cancer survivors is expected to reach 26 million by 2040. Hundreds of thousands of them survived cancer as a child. That's why survivorship care will be a crucial component of the new Kinder Children’s Cancer Center—a partnership between @MDAndersonNews and @TexasChildrens. https://t.co/u8kSz2J31A #EndCancer
Yup what a ride. Still got a some more to go. Appreciate our study team, our awesome med oncs who support the trial @PavlosMsaouel@OncHahn@OAlhalabiMD (many more not on X), and of course our patients.
“The lab and the clinic may seem like two different worlds, but when they come together, that’s where transformation happens — for science, for medicine, and most importantly, for patients."
5 reasons the physician-scientist path was right for me https://t.co/pD9hIwSHTw #
A packed house at STAT@ ASCO heard from Dr. Christopher Flowers on “Improving Lives Through Research-Driven Patient Care.”
His message: Research is not separate from care. It is essential to it. #ASCO25#EndCancer@statnews@ChrisRFlowersMD
Tonight 60 minutes will be covering the effects of the proposed #NIH budget cuts on cancer and other diseases. The NIH funding has played a role in the FDA approval of virtually every medicine we take. #medx#canx#radonc#bcsm https://t.co/e2HFUFWXQf
❓What are the barriers to #clinicaltrial enrollment?
🤩Bottom line- patients want to hear about trials from their providers! We can’t assume patients are not interested.
💡Standard approaches to recruitment are needed!!

1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: https://t.co/K8dtrCzDnj) I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.
.@MDAndersonNews is expanding its statewide reach while strengthening its presence within the @TXMedCenter. Alongside projects like a new hospital tower in Austin and an ambulatory cancer care facility in Sugar Land, MDACC is investing heavily within TMC, including a major research building and new facility connected to Helix Park. https://t.co/n4i5VzkpaE
