Advantages:
- Lower infection rate then central lines
- Used in the outpatient setting
- Can be used for several weeks to months
- Duration of PICC lines may be from 4 weeks to 6 months
(although they have been known to be functional for more than 300 days)

My 3 year old daughter Lila was recently diagnosed with a VERY rare and aggressive type of #leukemia.
👉 It’s potentially treatment resistant… AND
👉 Requires a bone marrow transplant.

Please @Twitter help me save my little girl.

Please @Twitter help me save my little girl.
First, some background:
👉 A month ago, Lila was diagnosed with “acute undifferentiated leukemia” (AUL) by her docs at @ChildrensLA
👉 Last week, we found an unrelated marrow donor who’s a perfect “10/10” match (thx to @BeTheMatch ) and they have agreed to donate. 😭

👉 But just yesterday, we learned Lila’s first cycle of chemo failed. 🥺
Before Lila can get the transplant, we have to get her into remission first.

Ever planned RCT w/ PFS and OS as formal endpoints?
Ever simulated PFS and OS for same set of patients?
In both cases: How did you model the fact that PFS and OS are highly dependent? E.g. we know that PFS <= OS and P(PFS = OS) > 0.

We are very used to model dependency of an endpoint over time (= group-sequential designs) or over nested populations (= enrichment designs), b/c then it's not difficult to write down correlation between test statistics.

Standard cancer detection tests are done with #tissuebiopsies.🧫
These are invasive, risky, and expensive as they require an endoscope and open surgery.
An alternative approach to this is Liquid Biopsy which is performed by drawing blood.🩸

Liquid biopsy is an innovative solution to #cancerdetection.
▪️They use a much smaller sample and have a quicker turnaround for results compared to tissue biopsies.
▪️They are more advantageous in detecting a metastasized tumor - when cancer has spread to multiple sites.

#Tweetorial #Oncology #Cancer #Diagnosis #TNBC #Immunotherapy #PDL1
TNBC is a challenging disease to treat due to its aggressive behavior, heterogeneity, and the lack of universal actionable targets. mTNBC is commonly diagnosed at a younger age than other BC subtypes and its prognosis is poor, with a median survival of <2 years.
Advanced TNBC can result from recurrence after treatment in the early-stage disease setting, or it may be diagnosed at initial (de novo) presentation

The immunocompromised, immunosuppressed, and immunodeficient are taking a beating from this virus.
A f-cking beating.
A f-cking beating.
The more I think about airlines abruptly allowing mask removal w/o warning—mid-flight for many—the angrier I get. People who are #immunocompromised had no choice not to travel or to upgrade their protection at that point. Some will go on to die. As an oncologist, I am enraged.
If you haven’t had #cancer or been a caregiver to someone with it, you don’t know how much people endure. I’m a breast oncologist. Our patients have breasts amputated, lose their fertility, go bald, risk nerve damage, infection, & more from chemo, because they want to live.
The fact that the airlines made a corporate decision to drop masks w/o warning—any airline could’ve chosen to give crew/passengers hrs or days of notice—disgusts me. For an industry that prides itself on safety, this is a fail.
