New treatments have greatly improved survival for #cancer patients but they also come with a risk of #thrombosis. In our new review in @jthjournal.bsky.social we explain why.

Academic folks, here's proof that Bluesky is a great place to post citations. I am also noticing much better traction in general (I post for an academic group; despite a larger following on X there's much more interaction here).
The general trend is crazy. Here is Twitter vs Bluesky volumes for the last week. On some days they are equal in volume.
