Medicaid Warriors! Top tip from #NBCCSummit on responding to a Congressional reps who says: “I’ll not touch Medicaid”
“Show me your math: how will you do it w/out decreasing enrollment, decreasing coverage, or decreasing reimbursement to Drs? How do YOU make the numbers work?” Then wait.

#NBCCSummit Amazing talk by Dr. Ian Tannock on asking critical questions about clinical trials. What jumps to me is the increase in using progression-free survival as a clinical outcome instead of overall survival. Tannock argues that PFS is very vulnerable to bias. Why? Follow🧵1/2)

AMAZING first day at #NBCCSummit. Deep dive on breast cancer mortality rates across 2 sessions drive home where research is heading—looking BOTH at genetic/biological factors as well as place-based factors to more effectively treat AND hopefully prevent BC. Thank you @nbccstopbc.bsky.social

Dr. Melissa Davis's work on impact of ancestry at genetic level adds important level of complexity to the breast cancer disparity conversation between Black and White patients. Bottom line--its not ALL about SDH.Her team is looking at biological factors interacting with SD factors.
