Love seeing #Advocate extraordinaire @itsnot_pink representing the patient voice!
Incredibly proud and grateful for the success of this @NRGonc ADC Symposium in DC! Packed room, outstanding talks from all faculty, and plenty of food for thought to push forward the field of ADC across oncology fields.
Plus, @itsnot_pink will be presenting the patient perspective on ACD-related toxicities, & data from the 2025 @The_Right_Dose ADC MBC patient survey! #bcsm #metastaticbreastcancer
The @NRGonc ADC Summer symposium kicks off with two amazing talks by Drs. Pat LoRusso and Ian Krop, reviewing the history and potential way forward for ADCs in solid tumors. The hope: to replace each like of chemo with an ADC. The need, to get there: payload differentiation!
Look! The @The_Right_Dose survey was featured at #HarvardBreastCancerCourse by @antgiorda—thanks for highlighting dosing in your Phase 1 trials talk! Anne Loeser was the brains and engine behind this work, and the whole team played an integral role: therightdose.org/about-us#team
What a great lineup, especially @itsnot_pink!
Incredibly excited to chair with @DrKatyMoore the @NRGonc Summer Symposium 2025, fully dedicated to ADCs! All star lineup, with top experts in the development of ADCs across oncology fields (+ super advocate @itsnot_pink) 🗓️ July 24 📍Washington DC 👉 nrgoncology.org/Summer2025Mtg/…

Now to see the long term impact, not only on PFS and OS, but also on QoL and financial toxicity. Are some going to use TDXD + P as an induction, maybe followed by just H or HP as maintenance? Are both TDXd and P going to be continued indefinitely for exceptional responders? #bcsm
The FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation to first-line treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) plus pertuzumab (Perjeta) for unresectable or metastatic HER2+ #BreastCancer. Check out this @cure_today interview where Dr. Sara Tolaney (@stolaney1) discusses the…

If only there was some kind of government agency assigned to monitor and give advance warning. Something like a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That would be a great agency to fund well and never gut it's funding to give early warning to save lives in these…
Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in…
🙏 @RepJeffries for exposing #BigUglyBill for what it is-a money grab that steals from the poor to give to the rich. People will die because of cuts. Kids will go hungry. Public Schools will wither. Republicans do U really think your constituents will vote you back in after this?
Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people. We just need four Republicans to join us.
The fact that all these Republican lawmakers are running around trying (& often, failing) to get specific carve outs in their own bill so THEIR community isn’t subject should tell you all you need to know. If they think it’s so great, why don’t they want it as-is for themselves?
17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance. And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit. All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors. The ultimate betrayal.
