News from #ASCO22 - Part 6 News that Caught My Eye in Tweets

This is my last post from #ASCO22. It includes a variety of Tweets dealing with studies from the meeting I found interesting.

Palliative Care

Though geared toward GU Cancers similar integrative efforts could apply to Gyn cancers too. #gyncsm #ASCO22

Sarcoma research

"Use of chemo is increasing while radiation therapy is decreasing" in stage II-III uterine #leiomyosarcoma. "Radiation is associated w/ improved survival in stage II and III, while there was no association between adjuvant chemo & survival in stage II." #sarcoma #gyncsm https://t.co/HdEkSdCZXl

 Clinical trials

✅ For White patients, incidence of disease matches enrollment.

👎 For Black and Hispanic patients, incidence much higher than trial participation.

🔆Trials need to reflect the population we are treating! 🔆#bcsm #ASCO22 @OncoAlert #clinicaltrials @DrRFreedman pic.twitter.com/sD4w5aQmuf

Cascade Testing and ovarian cancer

Genetic testing innovation in #ovariancancer. Pilot study by Frey MK et al. found 53% success of cascade testing when clinical team directly contacted relatives for cancer family history vs. 36% when responsibility was left to patients #gyncsm #ASCO22 pic.twitter.com/W7Otlu5RLG

Rare cancer treatments

Excited to hear Dr Jyoti Mayadev speak about “Novel Radiosensitizers in Cervical, Vaginal, and Vulvar Cancers” at #ASCO22 on ways to optimize outcomes with chemoRT for #gyncsm. Nice to see a #womenWhoCurie on stage @ASCO pic.twitter.com/qKDmsCGe7I
