A Dangerous Liaison Trump and RFK Jr. play politics with public health and safety

The acting head of the CDC is a tech bro with no medical training who embraced Covid conspiracy theories. Talk about malpractice.

50 years ago, surviving cancer was a rarity. Federally funded research changed that for millions of Americans. But progress is now at risk. Unstable funding threatens to halt future breakthroughs #SaveResearchStopCancer #ASCOAdvocacy

This needs to be amplified. The unfortunate increase in cancers in young individuals, especially for colorectal cancer, has created a public narrative that cancer rates are increasing

April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month – a time to recognise the prevalence of this Below the Belt cancer and the incredible people working to improve outcomes.

Their dedication is driving better treatments, improving patient care, and bringing hope to those affected.💙👏

It’s a travesty, but how do we respond? Is this a scenario where we argue there’s an individual need for each of these cancers or can we speak with one voice that cancer research is critical? In my view there’s a “divide & conquer” approach here.

Cancer research needs us right now @kidneycan.bsky.social

Katie provides the moral imperative far more eloquently than I can. For those who require an economic argument, the US research enterprise is the most robust in the world creating $100B in wealth. It is one of our most successful exports.

Wheeeeee

I’m already smarter!

The response of the science community to the last month is not about one statement or action. It's about all of us with our different frames. For Science's part, we are doing what we have always done and have no plans to change. My thoughts on what we can do. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

‘Lose-lose-lose’ scenario: ASCO seeks reduced out-of-pocket costs for cancer care Out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and copays deter people with cancer from complying with treatment.This creates a “lose-lose-lose” scenario for patients, payers and employers, Clifford...

We are committed to advancing policies that improve patient access to high-quality cancer care. We continue to collaborate with all stakeholders to address existing barriers and ultimately improve cancer care for those in need.

With this logic pts who are heavy smokers should be labeled as “group 1 lung cancer” because of their high risk for clinically significant lung cancer.
