"Ultimately, time is the most precious thing any person has—never more so than after a cancer diagnosis—and protecting how it is spent is a goal worth our shared effort."

Imagine 4 new anticancer drugs Pallituzumab, Geriatriximab, Symptomab, & Exercizumab hit the market. They should dominate the plenary sessions at ASCO & command billion-dollar revenue. But they don't because they're nonpharmacologic & shame on us.

1. PDAC needs a systems approach of evaluating fitness for older adults. We make the analogy that Edison's light bulb is useless without durable filaments, sockets, electric grids

A new study shows that elevated early-onset cancer incidence is accompanied by similar increases in older adults. The increase is “not restricted to young adults but affects all generations," noted @LGHealth’s @efratdotan in an editorial. spr.ly/6019Ah0HL

Such a well deserved standing ovation for Chris Booth and the Challenge trial. These data are quite powerful. Much stronger evidence than what we saw in plenaries today. #ASCO25
New standard of care for stage III, improved DFS with the addition of atezolizumab to FOLfOX. Yet, many questions remain regarding the length of therapy and possible use of immunotherapy alone. #ASCO2025
Inspiring presentation by @HKlepinMD on her journey in geriatric oncology. Congratulations for well deserved winner of the geriatric oncology ASCO award. #ASCO2025
