Great data for first line, options that were not available to me 2.5 yrs ago. Big Q for me, how do I work with my onc team to make sure we hit these persister cells post-1st line? So many of us looking at this data going “ugh, missed opportunities for us!”
FLAURA2 press release: addition of chemotherapy to 1L osimertinib in #EGFR NSCLC improves overall survival. Already approved based on significant PFS benefit. Awaiting data to see degree of OS benefit to consider vs MARIPOSA. Important positive update! astrazeneca.com/media-centre/p…
Can we talk about the terminology “cancer survivors”? It usually implies that people had curative, earlier stage cancers and are now living “life after cancer”. The rest of us are “cancer patients” Sorry, not sorry, ppl w advanced cancers are survivors too
And … we are off to a great start at Biomarkers 2025. @ccranorg Thank you for making this virtual and accessible!❤️❤️❤️

It is not just false, but also ridiculous. You must be fully vaccinated against measles (or otherwise show immunity) as part of the Canadian immigration medical exam.
There have been a number of replies to this post claiming the cause of our current measles outbreak is ‘unvaccinated immigrants’. The public health agency of Canada confirms that this is false. The vast majority of cases are Canadians who have not been vaccinated.
It’s not a tan, it is hyperpigmentation due to cancer treatments. Anyone feel like they should have a drug side effect bingo card? @ThanksCancer

My 2c. We cannot have for-profit healthcare. We should have cancer drugs at the federal pharmacare level. To do that would streamline YEARS in terms of timely and equitable access. Look hard at the parties’ platforms and where they stand on this.
