Hopefully this #manuscript writing outline will help #PhD students, #postdoc, and EVERYONE working on scientific manuscripts. Happy writing! #AcademicTwitter #writingtips #WritingHacks #gradschool #phdchat @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice

I am hiring a part-time research coordinator at Baltimore! Please apply below linkedin.com/jobs/view/43876… or umb.taleo.net/careersection/…

Former @StateMaryland Governor @GovLarryHogan celebrating the great Dr. Kevin Cullen and cancer research and care at @UMBaltimore : Cancer doesn't care if you're white or black, rich or poor, it affects us all.

Mangyeong Lee used Chat GPT-4o to assess symptoms from phone logs with patients with cancer. Looks like GPT has a way to go before it works as well as a person #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

Huah Shin Ng shared data from patients with cancer who are in MANY drugs at once (polypharmacy) #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

Marialuisa Vigano's work suggests that CBD may improve chemo induced neuropathy for some, and WHO responded may be predicted by greater biodiversity in the gut microbiome. Still exploratory #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

Dan Hertz: taxane chemo induced #neuropathy is NOT WELL PREDICTED by genetic factors. If they were there, we would have found them by now, and if they ARE there they are likely small in magnitude. Time to focus efforts on neuropathy in other areas! #MASCC25 @CancerCareMASCC

Dr. Daniel Hertz: even though patients get a atamdard dose of chemo (eg 80 mg/m²), some pts have higher systemic exposure to that chemo (eg due to metabolism), leading to worse neuropathy. Also vitamin D insufficiency increases risk for neuropathy #MASCC25 @CancerCareMASCC

Dr. @KordKober discussed how patients with cancer have different experiences of fatigue (morning vs evening), and found perturbed DNA methylation and RNA expression in several inflammatory pathways. #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

Dr. Kok showed that higher fiber intake was associated with less diarrhea but more flatulence in patients with colorectal cancer. Reduced diarrhea was associated with BETTER quality of life. #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

Nienke Zwart discussed B vitamins (B2, B6, B12, folate) in a metabolic pathway targeted by 5FU and capecitabine chemo to treat colorectal cancer. B vitamin levels MAY be related to chemotixicities. Eg supplemental folate can interfere w prescribed DOSING of chemo. #mascc25

Dr. Manuel Morales explains his study of human samples showing that the total number of neurons and glial cells decreased in patients who received oxaliplatin chemotherapy. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3933… #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

Dr. Suzann Duan explains how the ENTERIC nervous system (ENS) helps our gut work, and how cancer chemo kills nerves in the ENS, leading to an array of issues that differ by chemo type. #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

Dr. Maria Kouri explains how pain is a sensory AND emotional AND social experience. The ORAL microbiome can modulate pain-related signaling in the mouth (eg mucositis) #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC

"*I* am not triple negative, my CANCER is triple negative and I am TRIPLE POSITIVE!" -Eva Schumacher-Wulf, patient advocate Great outlook and attitude ♥️👍 @MammaMiaMagazin #MASCC25 @CancerCareMASCC

Symptom management is ESPECIALLY important for patients with METASTATIC disease because they want to focus on QUALITY of life. Also starting supportive care with the HIGHEST dose to allow tolerability of treatment @MammaMiaMagazin #mascc25 @CancerCareMASCC
