Primum A digital platform helping patients receive better care closer to home. We connect oncologists with sub-specialists to discuss their most complex cancer cases.

Sometimes Oncology just doesn’t follow guidelines. I use Primum when I hit those moments. Thoughtful, fast answers from peers who know their stuff. If you're curious:

Great for fellows and those already in practice.

Is surgery always necessary for invasive breast cancer? 🩺🔍
New research is challenging the status quo and exploring less invasive paths for treatment. A must-read for oncology professionals.

No generational judgement—disheartening to see burnout at all. Especially in
In a field that clearly still holds joy for those that practice. The landscape is not what it used to be & we’ve trained to be nimble with medical decision—not staffing, prior auth, or EMR burden.

The FDA has approved trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) for patients with HR-positive, HER2-low, or HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer based on DESTINY-Breast06 trial results. #BreastCancer #Oncology ascopost.com/news/january...

I was born in the mountains of 🇻🇳. At 5 my parents sought the land of opportunity 🇺🇸. This Dec our family reunited in 🇻🇳. My country has changed and so have we. Change = opportunity.

Kaplan–Meier estimates of progression-free survival among all 426 patients in the imlunestrant–abemaciclib and imlunestrant groups who had undergone randomization concurrently.

The selective estrogen-receptor degrader imlunestrant plus abemaciclib led to a median progression-free survival of 9.4 months among patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (vs. 5.5 months with imlunestrant alone). Full EMBER-3 trial results: nej.md/4fZ74HX

I’ve found many apps to be extremely useful as a fellow and practicing oncologist.

For a quick (usually less than 48 hrs) curbside consult to an Oncologist, Hematologist, RadOnc, Pharmacist etc. I’ve been using Primum. You can also ask anonymously. See link.

We have known for decade+ that you can detect progression using ctDNA months before you see it on scans. But until we show that it impacts outcomes to change tx earlier all it does is make ppl anxious and abandon treatments (TKIs) that may still be helping. Most MRD use today is marketing over data.

Wrote this haiku before #ASHaiku for #ASH24 but I’d like to shamelessly repost for submission. In response to @oligoclonalband.bsky.social ‘s cooly made Neuro-skirt.

Cool pic! Now be expecting a billion “where/what is this” comments. I didn’t get to see this exhibit…I’m overdue for another trip to Japan it seems!

#medsky #oncosky a #poem

I do want everyone to know that I actually DID start a list... So please if you find that helpful I can share (or can you find it?). (and yes, I did stop working on it because I did get hungry). To be continued. Maybe. #oncosky #oncology #WhereAreMyFriends

Amazing. Imagine the next level: Incorporating such large language models into our EMR systems to provide suggested matched clinical trials in real time! These LLM are already being trialed and implemented for inbox management at some institutions. Anxiously hopeful. 🙏

You know, I started a list... and then I got hungry. 🫠

Specifically oncology and hematology? Please say more!

Can we get one of those nifty “click to follow all of these profiles” for #oncosky #cansky?

I’m thinking someone must being working on this…right? Or did I just volunteer myself? 😭

Oh my.

It’s getting a little hairy over there 👀…Time to find bluer skies.
