I am joining over 150 oncologists this week at the #ASCOAdvocacySummit in Washington, D.C. to urge Congress to help address existing #drugshortages and prevent future shortages of lifesaving and life-prolonging cancer drugs. @ascocancer.bsky.social
Great @ascocancer.bsky.social Day on the Hill today - advocating for funding for cancer care and research. Favorite meeting was with Bad Bunny, Lucy, and @repemilyrandall.bsky.social from Washington State - great supporter of access to health care for all!
An honor to meet w/ #RepGabeAmo this AM w/Drs. Mega & Strenger to discuss key #ASCOAdvocacySummit asks including consistent funding for the NIH, NCI, and ARPA-H; the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act; partnering on a Comprehensive Solution to End Drug Shortages. @ascocancer.bsky.social

"Why would a #metastatic #cancer patient need any more stress? Why slow down the research when cancer rates are on the rise, particularly with young people under 50?” 🤦 Great questions! #CanSky #MedSky #ScienceSky #crcsm #colorectalcancer www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...
NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

“In 2023, Healio reported results of a systematic review that showed abstracts of randomized phase 3 clinical trials in gastrointestinal oncology frequently use subjective minimizing language to characterize serious toxicities.”

Noticeably silent amid the upheaval at HHS? Big pharma. Every new drug has NIH somewhere in its DNA--and NIH funding supports the training of their workforce. Now they're finding out FDA isn't safe, either. Wrote about how keeping quiet isn't working My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):
