Thank you @GOPDoctors. We appreciate your efforts to ensure Congress takes action on this vital, bipartisan legislation to support physicians and protect patient access to needed #cancer care.
This week, the GOP Doctors Caucus endorsed the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, legislation that reforms the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule to support physicians and protect access to the high-quality care Medicare beneficiaries deserve. Read more below:

I usually disagree with almost every position that @AOC takes. I think she is either ignorant or immoral on many positions. She is a vicious extremist. But I agree with EVERY WORD she says here as it relates to the impact of cancer research and the amazing gains made by the @NIH . So much progress, but so much more to go.
AOC: When I was 16 years old, my dad was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. His prognosis was not good. The doctors said that with the treatments they had, their options were limited, but there was an experimental trial. For millions across this country—whose child has a rare disease, whose parent is on death’s door, or who themselves have no treatment options—clinical trials are one of the only ways to extend their lives. My dad was admitted to that trial, and his cancer went into remission for a brief period. We got two to three more years with him before he eventually passed away. I can tell you that two more years with my dad, three more years with a child, or a lifetime for those saved by NIH’s work—these people don’t think it’s wasteful. They don’t think what’s happening now is acceptable.

#GU25. Draft RECAP. We added our rating dial (@KolPulseAI style) but note that the rating is for the trial overall (not specifically what was disclosed at GU). Feedback on trial rating etc appreciated. @SuyogCancer @amerseburger @bsomer @tompowles1 @DrChoueiri @sonpavde @PGrivasMDPhD @DrYukselUrun @mwschoen

Dan Lanning's coaching career has taken him all over the country, but his time at Memphis changed he and his family's life forever. @JenLada shares how the @oregonfootball head coach put his family first.

As WREG looks into illnesses affecting those across the Mid-South, they are also looking to a recent grant awarded to West and @uthsc to study factors affecting #breastcancer outcomes among African-American women in the Mid-South.

In memory of 6 million men, women and children who were murdered just because they were Jewish. To commemorate the Holocaust and its victims, we must speak out against antisemitism today. In the face of darkness, be the light. #NeverForget #YomHaShoah

Some of my favorite people doing great things doing everything to assure access to cancer care for all. @wadavidal @ASCO @west_cancer
It was great to meet with members of the @ASCO in Washington, including Dr. Gregory Vidal from Shelby County. Thank you for your work to ensure West Tennesseans and their families have access to high quality health care.
