My friend's daughter forgot the word “dandelion” so she described it as “the one that explodes into wishes.” I like that better.

Fast facts: 👉Human papilloma virus (HPV) impacted 1.5M in 2022, w/an ASIR of 20.9 per 100,000 people 👉1:5 adults in the US have an STD (usu. 20-34 y/o) 👉 HPV is the most common STD in the US 👉HPV vaccination = #CancerPrevention (9 y/o - 45 y/o) #Cancer #HPVAwarenessDay

@FightCRC on the Hill hard at work day 1 rally at #CallonCongress to acknowledge #earlyonset #colorectal #cancer patients. 🙏🏻 @AnjeeDavis Each flag = one patient 👉It’s eye-opening and honest about the number at risk. 👉We need to continue to #educate and #advocate. 💪💙

New #BMJResearch finds that a reduced risk of invasive cervical cancer following quadrivalent HPV vaccination persisted throughout long term follow-up, with no indication of waning protection bmj.com/content/392/bm…

Tomorrow, we'll be planting 27,000+ blue flags on the National Mall symbolizing the young people at risk of facing #colorectalcancer in 2030. Join the national movement by ordering your at-home flag kit today: shop.fightcrc.org/products/flagk…

On Sunday, Ohio snowplow driver, Joe Estes, plowed the road for an ambulance transporting a baby to Mercy Anderson Hospital

UPDATE: Reports indicate a growing crackdown on medical professionals in Iran, doctors and healthcare workers arrested after treating wounded protesters. Among those named: Dr Alireza Rezaei, urologist, Tehran Matin Moradian, healthcare worker, Mashhad Dr Saber Dehghan, neurosurgeon, Sirjan Dr Farhad Nadali, a general surgeon in Gorgan Dr Ameneh Soleimani in Ardebil Colleagues are being detained not for violence, but for providing care and, reportedly, for documenting injuries. This pattern suggests an attempt to intimidate medical staff: don’t treat, don’t record, don’t bear witness. Medical neutrality is a core ethical duty. Treating the wounded is not a crime. Silencing doctors endangers everyone. #IranMassacre #Iran #IranDoctors

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢 Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

ONLY #colorectal #cancer has been rising by 1.1% annually since 2005 making it the MOST common cancer death in 2023: Leading Cancer Deaths in People Younger Than 50 Years jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… #cancerresearch @FightCRC

This has been expected for a while but sad to see this statistic materialize

As of today, the United States has officially left the World Health Organization. We’ll look back on this as a grave error. Health threats do not respect borders, and weakening global cooperation makes Americans less safe.

Lynch syndrome has a ~80% lifetime risk of cancer — it's caused by mismatch repair deficiency, which means the arising cancers are rich in frameshift mutations This is a vaccine built to stimulate immunity against those frameshift peptides, which worked here in 100% of patients (including CD8+ T cells) Whether this can prevent cancer remains to be seen, but it's an exciting possibility

The risk of AI for education is not students cheating in exams, it is people in general cheating themselves into believing they understand things they don’t.

Happy birthday, Dad. Your faith in humanity, your insistence on love over hate, and your belief that everyone can serve continue to renew me. In the darkest of times, your legacy is a light. When I feel hopeless, your spirit carries me. You will forever be in my heart.

Colorectal cancer research at #ASCOGI26: Patients are more willing than physicians to trade some survival for better quality of life—like oral-only treatment or fewer side effects. Poster by @DanaFarber’s @ThejusJay. asco.org/abstracts-pres…
