Deeply appreciative of everyone who helped develop #MSKimpact, #MSKaccess, #MPath, @OncoKB, @cbioportal, and of the physicians, scientists, nurses, administrators, clinic staff, couriers & accessioners who deliver precision diagnostics day after day. @MSKPathology @MskccCMO
How 2 MSK-developed #cancer #genetictests - MSK-IMPACT® (which uses a tissue biopsy to identify the best treatment) & MSK-ACCESS® (a blood test to detect a patient's response to treatment) - have helped revolutionize the way cancer is treated worldwide: bit.ly/3ptKeTR

Copywriting tip: Never address the crowd. Don't say "you all." Don't write as if you are speaking to lots of people (even though you are). Address 1 person. "You." This makes each individual in the crowd feel seen, heard, and understood.

The first publication of larotrectinib in NTRK fusion+ lung cancers alone is out. Beyond the initial systemic & intracranial response gains, the ~35 month median PFS and the ~41 month median OS impress. Wonderful news for patients, advocates, and providers across the world.
.@alexdrilon et al. report on first analysis of the efficacy & safety of larotrectinib in pts with TRK fusion–positive lung cancer from a registrational data set. ORR of 73% ub 15 evaluable pts w OS of 40.7 months. Larotrectinib was well tolerated. fal.cn/3lTFs

IMPORTANT: RAPID TESTS DO WORK WITH OMICRON "But why are some people staying negative in the first days they have symptoms??" This is expected. Symptoms don't = contagious virus This is literally a reflection of the fact that vaccines are doing their job! PLEASE READ

If I may... Stop linking to the condescending & misogynistic @WSJ editorial. All traffic is good traffic. Quote it if you like, but don’t click/link. Instead: 🎯Cancel your subscription 🎯Tweet their advertisers to let them know you won’t be shopping w/ them anymore #DrBiden
