This year for Lung Cancer Awareness Month #LCAM I’m going to summarize 30 important lung cancer trials over 30 days. These posts are directed at non-medical professionals, with descriptions of the results and of what makes a good trial.  1/8

Albert Pisani’s life took an unexpected turn with a diagnosis of glioblastoma. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation at The Ottawa Hospital became part of a new routine, along with navigating side effects and exploring treatment options. Read story: ow.ly/9bqO50YnYP8

@gliomadoc @AshleySumrallMD Yep. Are you going to extrapolate this to other populations? Grade 4 IDH mut? GBM?

@Garth_Nicholas1 @AshleySumrallMD It’s a very important finding. I’m sure you’ve had pts whose counts tank during concurrent and then can’t get adjuvant. That’s the worst possible outcome - essentially rads alone.

This one hurts. #btsm

@UriAlonWeizmann @BShenhar Many of these concepts look familiar from your book Systems Medicine. If we have read that book, what is new in this paper?

What sets the maximal human lifespan, and why is it so rigid? In a new preprint, we discover a fundamental decoupling between the parameters that govern health vs those that govern maximum lifespan. Work by @BShenhar

@quinngreg We see the world, not as it is, but as we are.

@DavidJuurlink In 1964 the Beatles released the song “Honey, Don’t”. Ever since your tweet, on seeing a prescription for Tramadol, Ringo’s voice comes into my head: “I say you will when you won’t/ Uh-uh, Tramadont”

Just returned from a conference in Australia where an attendee told me her mother declined tramadol post-op because it should be called “tramadont” My work here is done

Outcomes for limited stage SCLC from the Canadian Small Cell Lung Cancer Database (CASCADE) @LungCaJournal. Most had concurrent CRT (10% sequential), mOS 25m. Only 36% of this real world population would have been eligible for ADRIATIC study. lungcancerjournal.info/article/S0169-…

@drmichaellevin Is the article summarizing a series of papers or a single paper? Can you post a link?

Andrea, thank you so much for this! Had a great time discussing everything with you.

Congrats - especially to my colleague Dr. Marie France Savard. I’m #proud and lucky to work with you! @uOttawa @OttawaHospital

@DrZ_84 It’s a nice review. Congratulations!

@quinngreg Sorry to hear this, Greg. My thoughts to you and your family.

My Mother was a very private person, so she would have disliked me posting this. But for the record: thechronicleherald.remembering.ca/obituary/betty…

This is an important @ONThealth CCO organization care pathway guideline not only for Ontario but for all health systems to consider. The aim is to ensure the best care for patients with central nervous system tumours so they get the right team. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40779193/

@Latinamd @BalazsHalmosMD Classic Simpsons references also get you nothing.

Feeling like an old attending this morning, I made a reference to Jerry Maguire and no one on my team knew what I was talking about…😳#ShowMeTheMoney #YouHadmeatHello @BalazsHalmosMD

@g_develasco What are we going to do with oceans full of Tylenol?
