Come talk with me today at 1:15 about universal Duffy testing and how we optimally use the new Duffy null specific ANC reference intervals! #ASH24

If we ignore Duffy-null associated neutrophil counts (DANC), we contribute to major disparities in oncology care and clinical trial enrollment. Whether you’re a clinical trialist or clinician, a must-read from @laurenmerzmd.bsky.social and coauthors #medsky #hemesky 🩸🧪

The Duffy Null Phenotype — Addressing a Source of Discrimination in Cancer Care | NEJM

Many absolute neutrophil count thresholds in cancer care do not account for normal levels in people with the Duffy null phenotype— the majority of whom are Black or Middle Eastern.
