Geriatric oncology has made great strides in improving outcomes for older adults with cancer. In a 2024 #OpenAccess review, @rochgerionc et al discuss the why, what, and how of geriatric assessment for clinicians. Revisit it here: https://t.co/Bl6QXM5Qoy

We need an RCT to work out whether there is any benefit at all to venesection or whether we can simply see once in clinic and discharge the vast majority of patients who do not have JAK2 mutation. Well done to @PipNicolson and supported by @HaemSTAR_UK.

Brilliant to see trial 👇🏻published with such great results & publicity. Prof @vic_coyle from Northern Ireland is the UK lead for this trial, an oncologist, academic & lead for @nicancertrials ECMC. She works tirelessly to improve outcomes for patients & an all-round super person.
The most practice changing trial from #ASCO25 is now live on @NEJM .If this was a drug, this would be approved today. Globally relevant and low-cost intervention that is not only delaying relapse but actually improving survival. Perfect case example of a #cancergroundshot trial.

We stop all premeds (steroids, antihistamines, and acetaminophen) after cycle 1 for both IV and SQ dara. If someone has had reactions with even the last dose of cycle 1, then for that patient, these may be continued, but otherwise no. Here is a paper on our experience.

PURPOSEDaratumumab is an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody used to treat multiple myeloma and light chain amyloidosis. Because daratumumab may cause reactions after intravenous or subcutaneous (SC)...
For those reducing dexamethasone in patients on DRd or Dara monotherapy, do you stop Dex pre-meds before Daratumumab? Have you seen increased infusion reactions? And for DRd, what thromboprophylaxis do you use if Dex is reduced/stopped? #myeloma #downwithdex

NEW PAPER: Nursing is NOT a set of tasks. Our theoretical proposition elucidates the complexity of daily work. Understanding the complexity and interconnectednes of nursing care (and expertise needed) reveals the risks of staffing by task allocation

And thanks @jmikhaelmd #susieharding for kind commentary about our SWOG dexamethasone analysis, now published in @BloodJournal: #downwithdex now has its first official citation in myeloma #MMsm 👏 Excited to see so much prospective research here now! https://t.co/bGf8dKOTBj
Grateful to @BloodJournal, co-authors, and @SWOG for making this #downwithdex piece possible! Dex 40mg weekly in #MMsm induction: 1️⃣ Not practical even for trial-enrolled patients 2️⃣ Does not improve PFS vs ⬇️ dex Twitter 🧵 once I’m back from #IMS24! https://t.co/1Sy1WQpHjk
