*NEW* study led by Madhav KC, Michaela Dinan underscores importance of primary care for #cancer survivors. Risk of non-cancer death >> cancer death; varies substantially by cancer type.

At 7:30pm on Yale Cancer Answers, cancer epidemiologist Dr. Maureen Canavan discusses ways to evaluate #quality metrics for #cancer care, especially when providing end-of-life care. Listen live on @wnpr or download our podcast from @iTunes. @YaleCOPPER @YaleMed @SmilowCancer

Thx @smjyoti for highlighting our work, and contextualizing the critical gaps in evidence hampering our ability to care for older patients with #cancer. Our research ecosytem must shift focus to real-world pts, rather than just enrolling youngest/healthiest subset. @myCARG

Congrats @DrKerinAdelson, @cpgYALE, & team on new work showing substantial variation across treatment centers in use of EOL #cancer therapy. To what degree do financial incentives drive this overuse?
New study shows that the use of systemic #cancer therapy at the end-of-life, a marker of low quality care, varies substantially across patient race, insurance type, and practice setting. @JCO_ASCO @YaleCOPPER @YaleMed @YNHH @OncoAlert @SmilowCancer ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200…

👏 👏 @eberger32 making all of us @YaleBreast @YaleSurgery so proud with her podium @ASBrS presentation 👩🏫 on high rates of screening mammography in women > 67 and low value care
The definition of a talented surgeon-scientist, mentor and friend. ❤️

*New study led by Dr. Prasanna Ananth: Bereaved parents shared end of life priorities for their children. They are nuanced, yet measurable. Underscores need for new approach: can't apply *adult* EOL metrics to kids! bit.ly/42E7MUr #HPM #PalliativeCare @JAMANetworkOpen

A new study led by Dr. Prasanna Ananth engaged bereaved parents of children with #cancer to learn how parents prioritized end-of-life care.

*NEW Tyan et al study: >10% of oncologists now work in Private Equity owned clinics. This is not an anomaly! PE-backed health care is now truly cradle to grave in the US. In our commentary, @iostrer, FJ Crosson & I discuss: bit.ly/3VovocK #medtwitter *THREAD: (1/n)
So exciting to see this progress from Dr. Berger pitching the idea in a COPPER meeting to a podium presentation! ⚡️⚡️
Thankful to have had the experience to present our work on surveillance patterns in older women with breast cancer. @ASBrS @IlanaRichman @GreenupRachel @YaleBreast @YaleCOPPER @YaleSurgery

When @YaleCancer @YaleSurgery and @YaleCOPPER support incredible trainees (and lucky mentors)… @JKhubchandaniMD leading an extraordinary #CBPR team to better understand Life After Mastectomy for women with breast cancer.
A 9-month Community Research #Fellowship Program matches members of the community w/1 of 10 @YaleCancer affiliated research groups. Fellows gain experience while researchers gain new perspectives.

*NEW STUDY, 🧵: Immunotherapy drugs have revolutionized #lungcancer care. Yet its unclear if older patients in clinical practice benefit. Led by terrific student (now @PennMedicine intern) Teja Voruganti, we took a look bit.ly/3HBqBzG (1/n)

Honored to visit the @MDAndersonNews #Cancer Prevention & Control team for Grand Rounds today, and talk about how to measure - and accelerate - progress against cancer. We've got this!

Kudos to @mleapman & team for their recent study highlighting carbon footprint of #prostatecancer care: 100K fewer prostate biopsies would avoid 8.1 million kg CO2e, (=4.1m liters of gasoline). A new paradigm for #healthcare overuse & downstream impact. @YaleCancer @YaleMed
Can we make prostate cancer care more sustainable? We estimated the environmental impact of prostate biopsy and potential benefits from more widely using evidence-based approaches

Congrats @mleapman - we are so fortunate to have you as a member of our @YaleCOPPER #cancer outcomes community!
Congrats to our own @mleapman, MD [center], recipient of @YaleCancer Center's 2022 Population Science Research Prize for his published work in @JAMANetworkOpen ["Mediators of Racial Disparity in the Use of Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging Among Patients with Prostate Cancer"]!

Thanks Bishal - we were disappointed that despite efforts to ⬇️ EOL systemic therapy use for pts w/ #cancer, we have simply seen a shift to pricier therapies. Need to study whether immunotherapy improves outcomes in sickest pts, but am dubious. @JAMAOnc
This is an important study. There are several reasons why we continue to treat our patients until the very end of their lives which we have discussed here. A peaceful life-death transition should be seen as an important metric of quality cancer care. ecancer.org/en/journal/artic…
