Hurrah for Ginny (aka @IBCResearch)! She's done great things for those facing a diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer and has been a pioneer in using the internet for patient advocacy. And of course a model patient advocate with @SWOG! Here's our profile swog.org/news-events/news/20…
So happy to celebrate Ginny Mason, whose work as a patient advocate has truly saved lives! Ginny received the well deserved @SusanGKomen Research Advocacy Champion award at #SABCS24 #bcsm @SABCSSanAntonio @ASTRO_org @SWOG

I gave my talk about inclusion of patient advocates in research. This is a new concept in Perú but after the talk there was great interest from researchers as well as survivors in the audience. Let’s make it happen!Thanks @SupportingSWOG @SWOG for supporting pt advocates.

Don’t forget: @SWOG S2200 is still enrolling patients! Exciting study for a group of us in #kidneycancer who don’t have a lot of #clinicaltrial options: metastatic #papillaryRCC. The amazing @maughanonc is leading #PAPMET2. #nonclearcellRCC #renalcancer

So appreciative of our amazing @SWOG GU committee for ensuring the patient voice is represented & heard at all times, incl. this panel on #clinicaltrials. It was a pleasure to speak with my fellow GU advocates Darrell Nakagawa & @MoultrieLee on trial accrual. #GUonc #OncTwitter
Great agenda at the @SWOG #clinicaltrials symposium featuring terrific patient advocates (@LauraEsfeller), experts (@neerajaiims @slernerbcmedu1) & high accruing investigators (@PBarataMD @AbhiTrip87 @DrVaishampayan). Was also awesome to have @drdonsdizon join us as an honorary #GU oncologist!

Congratulations to @slernerbcmedu1 @SvatekRob @siadaneshmand @poharkamal @ecskinner53 @AnneSchuckmanMD @UroDocAsh @montypal @adamkibel_uro & entire @SWOG S1011 team for these results!

In patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, extended lymphadenectomy did not improve disease-free or overall survival as compared with the standard procedure and was associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Full SWOG S1011 trial results: nej.md/4dBI8UN

Jack Aiello & His Mission to Educate Patients
We mourn the loss of @SWOG's long-time #myeloma patient advocate @JackMAiello, but we celebrate his amazing life and contributions to helping others diagnosed with the disease.

As our patient advocate for myeloma for a decade, @JackMAiello also had a huge impact helping @SWOG integrate advocate experience and expertise into all stages of clinical trial design, development, and execution. His wisdom, wit, and warmth will be greatly missed.
Sad that cancer took another great human being and amazing myeloma patient advocate. @JackMAiello was an amazing advocate & we were fortunate to have him for many years as a @SWOG patient advocate. My condolences to his family & our grattitude for all he did.
