The world turns for melanoma once again…. Elegant work from Christian Blank and the neoadjuvant consortium.
Presented at #ASCO24:
Among patients who received two 3-week cycles of neoadjuvant ipilimumab and nivolumab, the 12-month event-free survival was 83.7%, as compared with 57.2% among those who received only adjuvant therapy. Full NADINA trial results: nej.md/3wSo3uk

This is a blatant misrepresentation of our work science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…. Our study does not in any way suggest that the application of SPF50 sunscreen “blocks our natural defences” or is detrimental to health.
Vitamin D regulates cancer immunity via microbiome- another reason to stop using SPF 50 all year round which blocks our natural defences science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

I wrote a thing: "forced-birth fascists want a federal database to track all pregnant women" — whatever happened to 'reproductive rights should be left up to the states'?

How to IMPROVE cancer outcomes? Patient no longer responding to immunotherapy..should we use an injectable virus to break down a met and increase antigen load to stimulate an enhanced immune response? Let’s get the thoughts of an expert! @tomcrosby12 @VelindreCC @AOlssonBrown
