Every avenue explored in lung cancer research brings new insights to get closer to breakthroughs
It's why Dr Merajver believes in exploring so many angles. She says
"From new and repurposed drugs, new models, personalized studies and more, research is about improving lives.”

I called it yesterday that Mehmet Oz would be up next.
If he actually heads Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, I fear for millions of Americans, including my stepdad, who rely on these programs to literally stay alive.
These appointments are not just anti-science, they’re immoral.

Dr. Richard Pazdur, a steady and brilliant leader to safeguard patients and help get them ever better options to treat and (I hope some day!) also many new strategies to prevent cancer.
I missed this last week. Interview with Rick Pazdur www.nytimes.com/2024/11/08/h...
He’s the F.D.A.’s Cancer Chief, Not a Fortune Teller

RFK wants to “pause” drug development for 8 years! Does he even know what that means? Drug development means thousands of labs investigating basic mechanisms of disease, preclinical testing , clin trials. It is so nuts I cannot even begin… anyway. We need to strategize what we must do about it.
