Is liquid biopsy useful in bone-only metastatic #breastcancer?

Surprise!
✅Pts w bone-only disease are just as likely to have detectable ctDNA
✅ctDNA tumor fraction remains prognostic in bone-only setting

Utility of plasma circulating DNA tumor fraction in bone-only metastatic breast cancer: a real-world outcomes study - Breast Cancer Research and Treatment
Purpose Bone metastases develop in 50–70% of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), with around one-third having bone as only site of distant disease (bone-only [BO]). Standard imaging is frequ...

In Ohio during FY23 (2022-2023) this was the impact of NIH funding:

$1.01 Billion in grants and contracts
$2.05 Billion in economic support
13,061 jobs supported

This reduction in NIH indirect will decimate research and limit health care advances

If physician-scientists were 'in it for the money', we would probably choose different jobs .

🤔Incentives for research are 1) poorly delineated; 2) infrequently implemented; 3) lag clinical incentives many fold.

💰 is not the *only* incentive: research time, space, institutional support are valued
December's most engaging article by Eva Catenaccio et al. shows that prolonged physician-scientist training postpones full salary earnings compared with MD physicians & MD-PhD physicians have a lower lifetime earning potential than MD physicians... https://insight.jci.org/articles/view/183476
