My copy of this beauty finally arrived ! Can’t wait to read about the great history of transplant Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center told by Fred Appelbaum. Lucky to work at such an amazing institution. #LivingMedicine
Great presentation by Hiba Khan MD MPH ! And yet again … wow lots of work ahead to address this problem.
What a treat bumping into my friend and SWOG Cancer Research Network patient advocate extraordinaire Barbara Segarra ASCO - Barbara has been instrumental in launching #financialtoxicity studies like S1912cd through her passionate and honest contributions.
Congrats Natasha Kwendakwema and #hicor Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center on a great poster discussion ASCO - important and sober findings showing that #financialtoxicity leads to more hospital use and total healthcare $ at end of life. Lots of work to do ! sheetalkircher lively discussion.
Come work with us !!

New findings, led by HICOR co-director Veena Shankaran MD, MS and just published in Journal of Clinical Oncology, 'underscore the need for interventions at the clinic, health system and policy level to mitigate financial burden in our patient population.' #FinancialToxicity bit.ly/3GdVOpu
Coming on the heels of another study we published showing that nearly 75% of mCRC pts experience major financial hardship ... interventions desperately needed ! academic.oup.com/jnci/advance-a…
