Great story of oncology progress over the decades.
Look at the curves. Success came via a couple of breakthroughs, yes, but also via smaller improvements that together make a steady progress. You often hear studies dismissed as “incremental,” but keep chipping away, every incremental step counts.

I never tire of seeing these progressively improved pediatric ALL survival curves, which represent one of the most remarkable achievements in all of medicine.
Amazing to see even more improvement with bispecific antibody #immunotherapy presented in the #ASH24 Plenary session. #hematology #leukemia

Vague Psychology Concepts
"The vagueness of psychological concepts is often considered a bug that needs to be fixed. In contrast, we argue that it is not a bug, it is a feature."

So many clinical questionnaires are badly translated and evaluated. Once again spent a few days with a dataset just to find out that the translated methods lack validity.
Language is a tremendous burden for self-report assessment methods and should be taken seriously! 🫵🏻
