🗣️Excited to share our research on patient-provider communication at #ASCO24. Our research finds that although most with #breastcancer say communication was good overall, less than 1/3 felt that long term #bcsm side effects were explained.

Let's talk about why this MATTERS. 🧵1/

Treatment has to be TOLERABLE before it can be EFFECTIVE (even allowing for the understandable difficulty healing in time for adjuvant FLOT, I don't understand the ~1/3rd of patients who couldn't complete pre-op in CROSS, especially when it was <10% over a decade ago!) #ASCO24

[Tatiana Prowell, MD @tmprowell]

#ASCO24 @ramsedhom’s beautiful humane talk “Good News, Bad News: The Paradox of Cancers w/ Targeted Therapies”:

We need to relinquish need to fix things, realize tumor isn’t the only target, & meet patients’ bids for support (& unlearn habits of responding to such bids w/ data).

#ASCO24 #Plenary: RCT of early #PalliativeCare in person or via #telehealth (N=1250) in recently diag metastatic #lungcancer demonstrates equiv in primary endpoint of self-reported quality of life at wk 24.

We need widespread access to high quality telehealth long-term. #lcsm

[DrKatyMoore @DrKatyMoore]

#ASCO24 strong biomarker work presented by Dr. Katherine Fuh for GOG 3059. Overall neg phase 3 but high AXL probably matters. What’s next
