Don't let work become a habit because you've forgotten how to live any other way. And don't judge colleagues who work less hard. The ultimate 'duty of care' is to yourself. Pinching myself to remember! @AcademicSurgery @ELAMProgram #WorkLifeBalance x.com/HarvardBiz/status/9604…

Presented at #ASCO26:
Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: nej.md/4nWaxvM
@ASCO

The bottom section lists patients at risk over time. Title and journal logo are included.
