The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all.

New: The largest medical A.I. randomized controlled trial yet performed, enrolling >100,000 women undergoing mammography screening
The use of AI led to 29% higher detection of cancer, no increase of false positives, and reduced workload compared with radiologists w/o AI thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Screening performance and characteristics of breast cancer detected in the Mammography Screening with Artificial Intelligence trial (MASAI): a randomised, controlled, parallel-group, non-inferiority, ...
The findings suggest that AI contributes to the early detection of clinically relevant breast cancer and reduces screen-reading workload without increasing false positives.

A reminder that when they examine the prostates of men who died of something else (heart attack, car accident), a HUGE percentage of men over 50 have prostate cancer and don't know even know it. We know there are a lot we don't need to treat at all. The problem is figuring out which ones.

Great to present this secondary analysis of a prospective randomized trial at SABCS demonstrating decreased acute toxicity with VMAT vs 3D-CRT technique for patients with breast cancer receiving PMRT/RNI! An important treatment option for our patients! @mdanderson.bsky.social @sabcs.bsky.social
VMAT based regional nodal radiotherapy for breast cancer improved short term toxicity over 3D (retro review of a prospective trial) when IMC targeted. Longer follow up pending @mdanderson.bsky.social @chelaing.bsky.social #SABCS24

#ProstateCancer screening is complicated. Unfortunately, recommendations re: screening are confusing--to the population, to those at high risk, and to physicians, as well. Can we better coordinate our guidelines among major cancer organizations?
