A new, highly sensitive liquid biopsy test may better detect minimal residual disease (MRD) — tiny traces of cancer left after treatment. This could one day help identify who is at higher risk of recurrence and who may safely skip extra therapy. Learn more: https://bit.ly/SABCS25

New data presented at #SABCS25 shows that adding a breast MRI to a diagnostic mammogram does not improve five-year recurrence rates for patients with stage I/II HR negative breast cancer. spr.ly/63320C8iqk #OncSky #EndCancer

At #SABCS25, new HER2CLIMB-05 results showed Tukysa + Herceptin + Perjeta helped people live longer without their metastatic #breastcancer progressing — 25 months vs. 16.

💊 Because Tukysa is taken orally, this combo may also be easier for many people to manage.

Backdoor privatization of Medicare “When third-party entities are paid based on the volume of denied services, there is a clear risk that care that is medically necessary for certain patients will be inappropriately denied in pursuit of savings" www.kuow.org/stories/thou... #medsky #medicare
Thousands of Washington state Medicare users could soon have claims denied by AI
Starting Jan. 1, traditional Medicare recipients in Washington state will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered — private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny.
