The gross imbalances of cancer research must be addressed - Global cancer-research ecosystems invest billions of dollars in the development of oncological medicines and technologies, such as robotics and radiotherapy, yet comparatively little into programmes that aim to advance affordable, equitable and high-quality care and outcomes. The extraordinary growth in public and private expenditure on cancer discovery science and technologies, fuelled by the huge profits of cancer biopharmaceutical companies, has failed to create more opportunities for research in neglected areas. #Cancer #CancerCare #CancerResearch #BigPharma #research https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02609-2

Getting out to Castle Island (which isn't an island) was very therapeutic.

#IDMastodon #cancercare Annual #covid19vaccine boosting for patients undergoing #antineoplasticcancer treatments reduced risks for targeted or hormonal treatments, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy-immunotherapy combinations similarly to the general population. Patients receiving no treatment or #chemotherapy exhibited higher risks, suggesting that accelerated vaccination schedules should be considered. Patients treated with #rituximab therapy posed the highest infection risk .

Walked around a VERY small slice of Harvard's Arnold Arboretum. Most walking my sis has done since her stem cell transplant in July. Good to get out.

9am. Fresh fruit platter made. French toast whipped up. Dishwasher emptied. Floors swept and mopped. Light dusting. Everything disinfected. Once sister is up I'll move upstairs for the daily bleach cleaning. Wish there were natural light here but houses are 5 feet in each side

The last few months have been rough in #CancerCare due to critical #drugshortages of multiple core #chemotherapy drugs.

How are my other #pharmacists holding up with the #chemo shortages?

https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2022/11/28/ascos-new-guidelines-promote-quackery-for-cancer-pain/ "rank quackery [is] being “integrated” into medicine to produce an unholy fusion dubbed “integrative medicine” or “integrative health” by its advocates. Rebranded from its previous name, “complementary and alternative medicine”—with the pithy acronym CAM, which was tossed aside because CAM adherents didn’t want the nostrums that they added to science-based medicine to be described as “alternative”." #medicine #oncology #CancerCare #AlternativeMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine
