Increasingly I’m seeing it as an exclusion criterion in industry-led trials, esp ADCs. Makes no sense to single this out (unless there’s a taxane comparator arm). Use typical CBC cutoffs and make inclusion criteria as broad as possible.

Exciting to see this out!

Fascinating and well written! Reminiscent of a patient from our rapid autopsy cohort with targetable truncal driver but remarkable “dead-end” CNA-quiet subclones in the primary that fail to metastasize despite aggressive histology.

‘I am still alive’: A cancer patient’s plea for real conversation - The Boston Globe Ask about my health if you’re curious. But then, please, move on. Tell me about your cat’s recent vet visit. The annoying person in your book club. A show you just know I’ll want tickets for.

Beth Israel Deaconess/Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center is hiring a GU medical oncologist! Aside from all the usual reasons to come, every group member gets a birthday cake in clinic.
