Faced with an urgency to start therapy for newly diagnosed lung cancer, how do we encourage colleagues and patients to wait for biomarker results? Advice from patient advocate Aurora Lucas & Drs. Mark Kris & @TurgemanIlit in this @IASLC podcast episode.

More data showing the importance of *waiting* for NGS results before starting NSCLC therapy whenever possible!
Retrospective analysis @JCOOP_ASCO show that when treatment of driver+ NSCLC before biomarker results is associated with inferior survival.

Great chart.
Caution that we don't really have much data on death from any trials that we've seen. A lot of optimistic choices here. (70%, not 62%, for AZ; 60%, not 50%, for NVAX; one case of possible severe disease in a PFE vaccine recipient.)
Okay, took me a long time to make this table (icons and everything) so please appreciate column 6. What protects from severe disease? T-cells! See this lovely article: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
If virus totally toothless, defanged (Twilight references), vaccinated safe.

"Less that 20% of cancers in the US are detected by screening. They're detected by symptoms, when it's too late."
Bert Vogelstein, explaining the need for cancer blood tests. #STATNews
Proud to have contributed to this!
Excited about the new TSO 500 releases enabling better, faster, more scalable comprehensive genomic profiling of tumors through automation, ~10x faster data analysis and pipeline enhancements including MSI sensitivity for immuno-onc., and tumor fraction metric (MSAF).

Don’t get us wrong, what we eat is super important, but when we eat is the determining factor!
@drjasonfung’s newest blog shares key insights about calories, what we eat, and when we eat.

The multi-cancer early detection test from @GRAILbio is truly transformational, and together we’ll ensure the full realization of next generation sequencing into clinical care.
We are excited to announce our agreement to acquire @GRAILbio, the company detecting cancer early with a simple blood test.
Beating cancer begins with finding it. Together we are poised to transform cancer detection.

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST:
What does it mean that the median age of new cases is dropping in some areas? I see three possible explanations, not all good. A thread on how to distinguish between them. 1/10

This is scary. 50% of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 patients had abnormal lung CT scans.
