Setting the bar higher for KRAS inhibitors - pleased to share our study of divarasib in KRAS G12C lung/colon/solid tumors in @NEJM. Impressive response rate, durability and tolerability. Thanks to pts and co-investigators. @KRASKickers #lcsm
Among patients with cancers bearing the KRAS G12C mutation who received divarasib at a 400-mg dose, 56% with lung cancer, 36% with colorectal cancer, and 36% with other tumor types had a confirmed response.

The support of @lcfamerica and patients & their families has been essential to our ongoing work to end lung cancer. Thank you so much - great things to come!
🎓 As a Clinical Investigator and Assistant Professor, Dr. @DocSacher's impact on lung cancer research is undeniable. His dedication to immunotherapy brings hope to patients worldwide. 🏆 #Livingwithlungcancer #LCFAResearch #WLCD23 #lungcancer bit.ly/44Czi5C
Really amazing data on GDC-6036 plus cetuximab in KRAS G12C metastatic colon cancer - ORR 62% !!! More potent KRAS G12C inhibitors make for more effective combos & better options for patients. #AACR23 @KRASKickers
It was an honor to present the first NSCLC data on GDC6036 at WCLC22 - highly potent and selective KRAS G12C inhibitor. Looking forward to the colon ca and other solid tumor data at #ESMO22. #LCSM @KRASKickers
I couldn’t agree more! #LCSM
Ontario patients shouldn't have to navigate a maze of financial and administrative challenges to access take home cancer drugs. If you are an ally to cancer patients and believe in the equal access of take home cancer care, sign the petition here: buff.ly/3Myb4zX

This is shameful, @TulaneMedicine. Your community and your learners need you to be better. The world is watching.
If I, a #MedPeds trained Black woman residency PD was enduring something like this? I’d want other #MedPeds trained Black women residency program directors to stand with me in solidarity.
And so I do.
This makes me so sad.

These days I can't stop thinking of "Masque of the Red Death." The King and his nobles seem to have deluded themselves into thinking they could hide from the plague that they let eat the country. Poe knew better...

KRASG12C can be targeted! Time to kick some KRAS! @kRasKickers #lcsm
Honored to have participated in this study led by the amazing @DavidHongMD nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
I downloaded the COVID alert app and you should too. The app uses bluetooth to monitor other phones you have been near and will warn you when you have been exposed to COVID19 (does not use your location or ID). Do your part to prevent the spread of COVID19 and save lives!
Canada's "COVID Alert" app is now up and running. I just downloaded it.
This will significantly help with contact tracing.
It uses bluetooth, and *DOES NOT* know:
-your location
-your name
-your address
-your phone contacts
-your health info

A frank description of the reality of a new lung cancer diagnosis by @shelly_et. We are making huge strides in the treatment of #lungcancer but we desperately need more funding for research in Canada & the US.
Watch this #livingwithlungcancer #patient, @shelly_et explain the importance of the first steps after hearing of a #lungcancer #diagnosis. bit.ly/3euNymx

Something for us all to reflect on in Canada & the USA on our respective holiday weekends...
