Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

It’s almost as if the body is complicated enough to be thought about as interrelated systems (a concept that dates back millennia — to Hippocrates, Alcmaeon, Herophilus, & Erasistratus — and certainly predates modern healthcare)
What if I told you that we benefit from both breadth & depth? That generalists & specialists can work together for the betterment of their patients? This is as true in my field of oncology as it is in medicine as a whole

FINALLY someone is saying it out loud Casey Means explains the only reason everyone has to go and see a “specialist” for every single different part of the body now instead of just one doctor is because the medial industrial complex makes more money It’s by design. For profit.

All procedures carry some risk, but cancer screening is not based on emotion, they come from LARGE studies that measure risks vs. benefits. The data show procedural risks of colonoscopy are rare and are far outweighed by the lives saved.
Andrew Kaufman MD@AndrewKaufmanMD
Let’s pause and think about what actually happens during a colonoscopy. You’re sedated. A flexible tube with a small camera is inserted into the colon so physicians can examine the lining and remove abnormal growths at the discretion of the doctor. That lesion may become cancerous in 15-20 years or it may never become cancer. In the meantime, poking a little too hard with the instruments can make a hole, leaking fecal matter into your abdominal cavity. So you could end up with emergency surgery for a possible lesion that could possibly become cancerous someday. Now, instead of reacting emotionally or projecting the program you’ve been given, step back and think logically. Does this sound like a good idea? When a procedure can lead to death or permanent damage, don’t you think it’s time to rethink our approach?

We are now at 1136 new measles cases - in just the first 8 weeks of this year alone.
A preventable disease resurging.
This is an abject policy failure.

Truly an incredible legacy. 👏

Today is International Childhood Cancer Day 🎗️
I brought this photo to space with me. A reminder of the bald little girl I once was, who fought cancer and survived
Today is for every child still fighting. Your story isn’t over. And for those who did not survive, we will never stop fighting for you

Today is #InternationalChildhoodCancerDay 🎗️. Thinking of my patients, survivors, their families, and the children we’ve lost - as well as the importance of continuing to improve care and access around the world. The work continues!

In recognition of #InternationalChildhoodCancerDay we want to share @ArceneauxHayley's story. She rocketed into orbit around the earth on the first all-civilian orbital space mission.

Believe me when I tell you that you do NOT want an MD that doesn’t bother to look things up.

i believe doctors leave the room to look things up on google

Childhood cancer care is more than treatment. In addition to finding novel therapies, it’s early/accurate diagnosis, strong systems, and equitable access. On #WorldCancerDay, let’s keep pushing for a world where no child dies in the dawn of life. 🎗️🌍

Now that everyone is an expert on curing pancreatic cancer in mice, not rats - I want to add some context that goes beyond the headline.
You will want to read this.
Cancer is cured in mice all the time.
Thousands of times. ~90% of those “cures” fail in humans.
Why?
Because mice are:
Genetically simpler.
Treated earlier.
Short-lived.
Not humans.
Mice are a filter - not a finish line.
Yes, this study matters. It comes from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre.
Yes, it’s pancreatic cancer - one of the deadliest there is. Yes, full tumor regression is impressive.
But here’s what it actually means:
“This approach is now good enough to risk years, trials, and millions of euros on.”
Not:
“Cancer is solved.”
What happens next?
More animal work.
Toxicology.
Phase I (safety).
Phase II (maybe works).
Phase III (beats standard care?).
Maybe 8-10 years if everything goes right.
The real damage isn’t failed drugs.
It’s failed expectations.
Every “cured cancer in mice” headline trains the public to believe:
Cures are being hidden.
Progress should be fast.
Scientists are lying when reality hits.
That’s how trust erodes.
Bottom line:
This is how real cancer progress looks.
Messy. Slow. Risky. Incremental.
Not miracles.
Not conspiracies.
Just science - doing the hard work.
