So proud of @lcnoteware on her 2nd ASCO poster presentation as a medical student! Her work on understanding the impact of extracranial disease on HER2+ brain metastases will help us design clinical trials! @DukeCancer@DukeMets
Check out our presentation from this weekend! Very interesting results for isolated breast cancer to CNS metastasis.
Also, happy to see our presentation amongst such exciting new research! #ASCO21
See our poster of survival differences in HER2+ Brain Mets based on status of extracranial disease at 1st CNS relapse.
Patients with no extracranial disease (25%) have worse OS and may need CNS penetrable agents early in treatment. #BCSM#ASCO21

Congratulations to @DukeMedSchool student @lcnoteware on receiving the Eugene A. Stead Student Research Scholarship for her third year of medical school! She is conducting research in HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases, mentored by @drsarahsam.
Before #COVID19, the mean weekly number of new #breastcancer patients was 2208. During #COVID19, the weekly number has fallen 51.8% to 1064; (P < .001). Early detection saves lives. We must stress the importance of routine exams that impact survival. #bcsm
The Vot-ER platform powered by @TurboVote offers low acuity or, the “walking well” as clinicians often refer to them, patients access to online and paper based voter registration who can sometimes wait up to 4-6 hours while their care is delivered.
Tear gas has the potential to increase the risk for getting COVID-19. Duke Health researcher Sven-Eric Jordt describes how the substance both damages lungs and increases coughing.
