Sir, there is a Govt Hospital in Tamilnadu, everywhere near u, for ailments such as 'simple fever'. In villages there r PHCs. In cities, towns there r upgraded UPHCs near ur house. You will get immediate, dignified treatment, tests and drugs( if deemed necessary ) free. When my close relative developed life-threatening neuroglycopenia recently, I got him admitted to Govt Royapettah Hospital. The treatment was prompt, & carried out in the middle of the night by highly qualified superspecialists.
I personally feel all Chennaites shd visit Govt Kalaignar Hospital, atleast once as a visitor, to appreciate the warmth of the reception, the luxurious interiors, aesthetics, the kind staff,& the nature of inpatient & outpatient treatment. Personally feel it is at par or better than any 7-star private hospital in Chennai.

Just a simple fever - went to @ApolloClinics for consultation . Total bill - 9000 rupees . Blood test , swab test etc etc etc . Plus tablets worth 900 rupees . Absolutely not worth it .

Time for another NET talk - this time on sequencing of systemic therapy. Another excellent @MayoMedEd offering. If you are looking for a good course in pretty much anything in Med Ed, check them out. They have a huge selection of quality courses, not just in oncology.
So how to we select initial therapy for advanced NETs when resection or other regional therapy is not a good option...? Below are some thoughts, as always open to criticism and and comments (snarky comments also welcomed if you feel so inclined...).
Come join us for future Mayo Clinic conferences!

40 years ago, a young physician submitted a paper reporting on the alteration of a gene called HER2/neu to Science. He didn’t know that it was the beginning of one of the most remarkable scientific stories of the human kind, which would eventually impact the lives of COUNTLESS patients with cancer — first via mABs, then through ADCs, bsAbs and beyond.
Unforgettable Keynote presentation by Dennis Slamon at #MBCC26.

In resectable high-risk intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, neoadjuvant GOLP refimen (gemcitabine–oxaliplatin, lenvatinib, and an anti–programmed death 1 antibody) before surgery doubled median event-free survival (18.0 vs 8.7 mo; P<0.001). OS still immature.
Grade ≥3 AEs 26%.

Ovarian cancer new comprehensive Primer in Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Scott CL, Banerjee S, Joly F, Lee J-M, Mukhopadhyay A, Tan DS, Kohn EC
Natre Rev Dis Primers (2026)
🔹 Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is biologically heterogeneous, with distinct histologies, molecular drivers and prognoses.
🔹 Most high-grade serous ovarian cancers originate from the fallopian tube fimbria.
🔹 No effective screening → late-stage diagnosis remains common.
💊 Standard management:
• Optimal cytoreductive surgery
• Carboplatin + paclitaxel
• ± Anti-angiogenic therapy
• PARP inhibitors in 1L for HRD/BRCA tumors
📌 Immunotherapy has shown limited efficacy so far, highlighting the need for biomarker-driven trials.

Just in: Good news for the myeloma field.
FDA approves teclistamab plus daratumumab (Tec-Dara) combination for myeloma for patients who have had at least one prior line of therapy.
Note: Always use Tec-Dara with monthly IVIG. It’s not optional.
That was fast! And this is unprecedented curve is why.
