Congratulations team on this important contribution to our understanding of COVID in pts with cancer. Led by rising star @igong26 . Bottom line: COVID outcomes worse in hem cancer and any on chemo. Booster shots help. @MattCheungMD @abivije @NicoleKuderer

Vaccinated cancer pts had higher risk of breakthrough COVID-19 infection & poor outcomes incl. hospitalization & death, compared to controls without cancer, especially for those w/hematologic cancer or on active chemo. Third vaccine dose reduced this risk. ja.ma/3GqObhN

Vitamin B12 is necessary for normal bone marrow and central nervous system function. B12 deficiency can cause fatigue and pallor. Here are 5 things to know: cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/c…
@WKSilverstein @dryulialin @MattCheungMD
ALT Authors of the Five Things to Know article on Vitamin B12 deficiency note that “The incidence of vitamin B12 deficiency increases with age, affecting 5% of adults older than 60 years.”

Vitamin B12 deficiency is common and presents diversely. This article in @CMAJ describes diagnostic criteria for vitamin B12 deficiency, common etiologies of vitamin B12 deficiency, and evidence-based strategies to treat vitamin B12 deficiency.

As we’re about to get access to Paxlovid….remember it’s co-administered with ritonavir for PI-boosting. With heme malignancy drugs, be aware of its CYP3A4 inhibition and use cautiously with venetoclax, ibrutinib, TKIs, anticoagulants, etc.

News today of shortages of life-saving Covid drugs & HC approval of paxlovid (which will initially be in v short supply too). As a methodologist & a clinician, I wonder… how do you follow evidence-based guidance on drugs when you don’t have any drugs? 🧵 thestar.com/news/gta/2022/01…

As of today,
It is illegal to intimidate doctors
It is illegal to intimidate nurses
It is illegal to intimidate patients,
It is illegal to obstruct them from providing care or receiving it.
This law was passed unanimously in the House of Commons, and it comes into force today.

Happy to share our study aggregating COVID19 vaccine response in heme cancer. Thank you @abivije @MattCheungMD @LisaHicksMD and Stephen Betschel! Bottom line: lymphoid cancers, esp recent anti-CD20 Tx dramatically lower response
