At #ESMO26 Peter Forsyth, MD (@PeterForsyth27) shares promising results from new research on leptomeningeal disease in women with breast cancer. Phase 1 results show intrathecal dendritic cell therapy was well tolerated, with encouraging immune activity, paving the way for further study. #MoffittESMO26

Yes, I live in Gowanus, by choice. @NYMag can spread evidence-free claims about toxic waste, but the new buildings here are a vast improvement from the substandard housing many New Yorkers are forced into. Here's the view from my terrace. Link to my @CityJournal story in reply.

“In a reanalysis of published data and in an independent cohort, after adjustment for multiple confounders, SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination did not improve immunotherapy-related survival in patients with cancer.” “Together, these findings indicate that the previously reported vaccination survival advantage is largely explained by selection bias, with patients who had more favorable prognoses more likely to receive the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, particularly in the early pandemic.” aacrjournals.org/cancerdisco… @weldeiry @RobertKennedyJr @VPrasadMDMPH @NIHDirector_Jay @jsm2334
