Important publication from collaborating Chicago centers with @jaltmanmd from @LurieCancer showing that structural racism accounts for survival disparities in AML more than molecular features/treatment.
Structural racism is terrible & should end.

Congrats to Dr. Ishan Roy for being named as a collaborator of a new $150,000 award from the @The_HFoundation to @LurieCancer. This pilot could improve the standard of care for patients with glioblastoma. Dr. Roy’s research will focus on rehabilitation & cancer survivorship.
@jsonbecker Adjustable height desk is probably a more accurate reflection of their utility. Ultimately if you don’t focus on better upper and lower back posture along with eye level, it’s not going to matter if you’re sitting or standing.
Cachexia is a muscle wasting syndrome that many cancer patients experience. Ishan Roy, MD, PhD, is beginning research to help early identification of patients who may develop it. This can lead to earlier treatment, resulting in better patient outcomes. https://t.co/vreUvToR88
@jsonbecker My like is not for the weight loss explicitly, but for the hard work to develop a nutrition and exercise ritual. Keep in mind, even if your weight goes back up, continuing to be mindful for these things is more important than numbers on a scale.
