This one's for you, dad. @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

My Father’s Code | NEJM

An oncology fellow is used to having code-status discussions with patients and families, but when her father is downed by an ocean wave, she suddenly sees the DNR question from a new perspective.

My latest for @washingtonpost @PostHealthSci wapo.st/4zlasX6

A BRCA gene mutation ups your risk of these 4 cancers. Here’s what to know.

Inheriting a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 puts you at higher risk of breast, prostate, ovarian and pancreatic cancer. Genetic testing and screening can be life-saving.

Column by Netana Markovitz, MD | I’ve been tempted by whole-body MRIs, too. But beyond just the lack of data, here are three other reasons I wouldn’t get a full-body MRI and don’t recommend them for the vast majority of people: wapo.st/4gQmMYV

Column | I’m a doctor. Here’s why I wouldn’t get a full-body MRI scan.

Celebrities sing their praises, but I’m not convinced the average person needs or should spend their money on one.

The hard part is not the scan, but the cascade after an incidental nodule or "possible" finding in someone who felt fine and was low risk. I have watched that path eat weeks or even months of anxiety and follow-up for a result that never changed management or outcomes.
