Imagine 4 new anticancer drugs Pallituzumab, Geriatriximab, Symptomab, & Exercizumab hit the market. They should dominate the plenary sessions at ASCO & command billion-dollar revenue. But they don't because they're nonpharmacologic & shame on us. Read our opinion piece in

Summary thoughts from my Grand Rounds today on the role of Palliative Care in Cancer: -We need to prioritize the patient experience. There is more to life than scans & death -We cannot eliminate suffering, but we can anticipate it, name it, and try to alleviate it

1/6 Our JCO piece @guptaarjun90 on the need to improve communication training in #medonc fellowship. Every day oncologists deliver bad news. The words we choose impact pts & caregivers. Our training does not reflect the gravity of this @tmprowell @AAHPM

Title says it all: "Is everything we eat associated with cancer?" Take home point: nutritional epi evidence is weak. Cancer patients go through enough; let them enjoy food without feeling guilty or anxious HT @VPrasadMDMPH @adamcifu Medical Reversals academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/9…

A sad reflection as I walked through the exhibition hall of @ASCO Pictured here are humble booths (compared to Pharma exhibits) Yet, these advocacy booths do so much for patients. Often, they literally save a person or families life. I applaud @ASCO for sponsoring this

While amazed at scientific advances @ASCO, returning to clinic was a humbling reminder that pts still suffer from: --inability to afford care --transportation needs --polypharmacy --unaddressed pain --navigation --poor communication We need to raise the ceiling AND the floor

We forget median OS for EGFR mutated lung cancer is ~3 years, >40% with grade III adverse events nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… I worry about the culture in oncology where these patients are seen every 3 months & we ignore their existential/emotional/symptom needs cc: @JackWestMD

Lessons from Encanto for Onc/PC teams: -no home (institution) is perfect -be emotionally authentic -talk about Bruno (fears/hurt) -can't ignore painful experiences -we fail when we try to b superhuman -Find strength in community *Death* can be transformative cc: @tmprowell
