Learn more about the new ANGEL study and how it can enhance diagnostics and treatments for breast cancer patients. bit.ly/3QLdhNp #BreastCancer #clinicaltrials @ProfAMThompson @artidis_ag

.@BCMCancerCenter at Baylor St. Luke’s is becoming the first hospital in the southern U.S. to use both @MagseedSurgery and @Magtrace technology, allowing us to remove tumors in one piece while preserving more tissue, improving patient outcomes. stlukeshealth.org/bsl-outcomes/c…

.@BCMCancerCenter at @BCMHouston can now be nominated on Doximity for U.S. News & World Report’s #Cancer hospital rankings. See why the #DLDCCC’s efforts to advance #BreastCancer care are worth your vote: stlukeshealth.org/bsl-outcomes/c… @bcmhouston @StLukesHealthMD @mfrimawi #MedTwitter

These rankings wouldn't be possible without the incredible #CancerCare team at #DLDCCC at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center. @usnews has ranked our Cancer program as one of the #BestHospitals in the nation. @StLukesHealthMD @BCMCancerCenter #OncTwitter

I'm incredibly proud of the amazing work my partner-in-crime, Stacey Carter, has been involved in. She is finding new ways to bring #technology into the world of #medicine, using these innovations to get better results than historically seen. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34263289/

New research: "Effect of Metformin vs Placebo on Invasive Disease-Free Survival in Patients With Breast Cancer: The MA.32 Randomized Clinical Trial" #BreastCancer #Oncology #ClinicalTrial @StLukesHealthMD pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35608580/

The countdown is on! #Oncology teams at the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center will soon be making a move over to the new O'Quinn Medical Tower, where we will be able to collaborate and innovate even more for our patients. #BreastCancer #OncTwitter

Scroll through the images to see the correlation of Perimeter OCT images to histology. It’s clear to see that the OCT images show cellular-level detail surgeons have never seen before, and it happens all in real time right in the OR. Learn more: bit.ly/3OyRh5z #MedTech

What kind of features are TNBC tumors with high sTILs more likely to have? New research answers just that: "BI-RADS Ultrasound Lexicon Descriptors and Stromal Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34272161/

Performing mastectomies and breast reconstruction simultaneously means less anesthesia and quicker recovery for patients. #BreastCancer surgeons and plastic surgeons working together lead to a simpler process that is easier on the patient overall. youtube.com/watch?v=VOTMRZ…

Often gone unnoticed by the patient, low-risk DCIS #BreastCancer cells are only caught on mammograms. Some colleagues and I asked if these abnormalities are worth removing. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34448893/

This day (and every day, in my opinion) should be celebrated by those I have walked through these halls and had challenging conversations with. You all make me better, and I am blown away by the bravery I see day in and day out. #BreastCancer #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay

New finding from researchers that the HER2 suppresses the NR2F1 gene, allowing pre-cancerous cells to move to other organs of the body where they can become cancerous. #BreastCancer #BreastCancerResearch

Research is meant to help, whether it directly affects a patient or not. Share your work with others. Congratulations to researchers for developing a computational approach that enables spatial mapping of single-cell data within tissues. sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/…

During chemotherapy treatment, a patient’s appetite could increase or decrease compared to what it was before. Share these tips with your patients.

New research, "Mid-treatment Ultrasound Descriptors as Qualitative Imaging Biomarkers of Pathologic Complete Response in Patients with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer." #CancerResearchMonth #BreastCancer pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35300879/

New research, "A model combining pretreatment MRI radiomic features and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes to predict response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy in triple-negative breast cancer." #CancerResearchMonth #BreastCancer pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35193025/

It's #NationalCancerResearchMonth, and I want to show an appreciation for every oncologist, researcher, and research assistant I have had the pleasure of working with. The team at @BCMCancerCenter is incredibly talented and brilliant.

Despite #COVID19 challenges, BSLMC #RoboticHeart surgery program has outperformed most US heart centers & remains the fastest growing robotic cardiac surgery practice in the country. 0 to 300 in 3 years! #WeLeadTheWay @BCM_Surgery @bcmhouston @Texas_Heart @StLukesHealthMD

New research to better understand why some women diagnosed with #DCIS may not have benefitted from treatment: "'Is it cancer or not?' A qualitative exploration of survivor concerns surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35191017/
