Clinical trials can take years to build…but sometimes can disappear in a single day… ➡️ How can we better protect the social contract of clinical trials research? #BATTMAN #trust #accountability #trialsresearch #cancer 🔗 linkedin.com/posts/sharlene…

@JJSingleton1 Look at where you are now! You’re amazing my helping so many others by sharing your knowledge and experience!

Me and my mom 10 years ago at a Relay for Life event in my hometown. I was still reeling from the cancer being back and just 2 rounds of intense chemo in or 14th round overall. I had no hope here I was lost and convinced I wasn't going see age 30.

Just out!! In @NEJM - Our randomized trial in myeloma (ENDURANCE trial) shows limited duration of lenalidomide maintenance is just as good as indefinite therapy, with less side effects!!! @eaonc @theNCI Implications are HUGE. This is a drug we spends billions on each year: -Less side effects -Less second cancers -Similar overall survival -Less cost @myelomaMD @Myeloma_Doc @SagarLonialMD National NCI funded trial led by @eaonc and joined by @ALLIANCE_org & @SWOG nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Heartwarming moment Messi gifts his jersey to 100-year-old granny who has witnessed every World Cup

She's been at our shelter since 2013. Eleven years. Every person who met her said she was wonderful. Every person walked past her kennel and chose a younger dog. She stopped coming to the front of her kennel a few years ago. Stopped performing. Made a quiet peace with being where she was." Last Tuesday a veteran came in. He said — "I need a calm dog. I'm still learning how to be still myself." I showed him three dogs. He was putting his jacket on to leave. He stopped outside kennel seven. Luna looked at him from her bed. Didn't perform. Didn't come to the front. Just looked at him the way she looks at people when she decides they're worth seeing. He said — "Can I sit with her?" He sat on the concrete floor at her level. Not the bench. The floor. That was 11am. At 3pm I looked in. He was still there. Her white muzzle was in his hand. Their breathing had synchronized. At 3:15 he came to the front desk and said — "I'd like to take her home. I think we need each other." I excused myself to the back room and sat on an overturned bucket and cried for a long time. He texted me yesterday — "First time I've slept through the night in three years. I think she was saving that for me." She was. Eleven years of saving it. For one Tuesday. For him. Drop a ❤️ for Luna. Share this for every senior dog still waiting for their Tuesday. They're saving everything they have for the right person to walk through that door.

Periscope II should not be interpreted as evidence that regional therapy has no role in GCPM. It demostrates CRS+ HIPEC did not improve OS without biomarker guided systemic tx alone in unselected population with PCI < 7, diff from piano study, next step should focus on IO and Taget tx ( more effective systemic tx) and translational endpoints that should will benefit.@oncodaily @OncoAlert @COH_SurgOnc @jgong15 @ronanhsieh @Yanghee61217641 @laleh_melstrom

One of my priorities is communicating more directly with the cancer research community. Tuesdays with Tony is a new series on NCI's LinkedIn page where I'll share my perspective on the issues shaping cancer research—and where we're headed next. linkedin.com/company/nation…

Cancer will rise fastest where health systems are most fragile! 20.6M new cancer cases. 9.8M deaths. By 2050, 34.4M cases are expected. The future burden will fall hardest on lower-HDI countries. The solution: prevention, early diagnosis, and access. #Cancer #equity #access @OncoAlert @OpenMedicineHQ @CACancerJournal @WHO @ASCO @myESMO @uicc @AfriCF

Well-designed clinical trials help discoveries reach patients. Sustained investment in targeted therapies—including those affecting the RAS pathway—can improve the lives of adults with NF1 and help guide the next generation of treatments. go.nih.gov/cjuOSzb

A mobile PET-CT tech first used for head & neck cancer was just used on breast cancer. By scanning tumors in the OR, surgeons can check margins and clear remaining cancer, giving patients peace of mind and reducing follow-up surgeries. For more: bit.ly/4p919ph

There are no words to describe the profound loss I feel in saying goodbye to my four-legged 🐾 best friend of nearly 18 years, Gabby. She was so much more than a pet—she was my running partner, my confidante, and my constant companion. Through countless life challenges, she helped keep me afloat. She never wavered, never judged, and was always there when I needed her most.Yesterday, she enjoyed a feast, took a walk through the neighborhood, and slept peacefully through the night. Then this morning, she let me know it was time.On her final drive, she stuck her head out the window—one of her favorite things to do—feeling the wind on her face. She absolutely loved 🚙 rides. Before saying goodbye, we put our foreheads together one last time, our special way of bonding through the years.She also had the chance to say goodbye to all of her friends at #PetVillageBrentwood. They gave her SO much love. My 💔is broken, but I am so grateful for the nearly 18 years of unconditional love, loyalty, and joy she gave me. Run free, sweet Gabby . You will always be loved, always be missed, and forever be a part of me. ❤️🐾 #adoptdontshop #basenjimix #fourleggedchild #dogs @DogLovers03

🚨Lionel Messi after the Cape Verde game: “Before this World Cup, I’d never even heard of Vozinha. After the match, I went over to congratulate him because he made some incredible saves and had a fantastic game. He asked if we could swap shirts in the dressing room, and of course I was happy to do it. When we met in there, that’s when I realized how much I meant to him. I didn’t know I was one of his idols until he told me himself. Moments like that remind you how special football is. You meet people from different parts of the world, and through this sport you create memories that stay with you forever.”
