Newest paper from our group examining racial equity in breast cancer screening demonstrating that earlier screening mammography initiation among Black women can reduce breast cancer mortality disparities and maintain acceptable benefit to harm tradeoffs. #bcsm
Beginning #mammography screening 10 years earlier for #Black women and continuing every other year could cut #cancer deaths by more than 50 percent says new study from authors at @UMich and @Georgetown. https://t.co/Em9hYiAgev

keystroke in many treatment planning systems. 60Gy w/ cis outcomes in HN002 were never meant to be the final benchmark, just to set the stage for the future. Thank you Sue for courageously bringing the future to the present, so we can now put off-trial de-escalation in the past.

trials of this generation. Patients were being de-escalated to 60Gy or lower off trial, and some of them were being harmed. This has a different feel and meaning, even from the cis v. cetux trials, because the difference between 60Gy and 70Gy is literally a difference of one
