Long term follow up of a phase 1 trial of an mRNA tumor vaccine shows that 7/8 patients with pancreatic cancer, who mounted an immune response to the vaccine, are still alive 6 years later. This is breathtaking data and shows the promise of mRNA vaccines. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/pa…

Physician-led care remains foundational to strong clinical systems. In this AMA discussion, I emphasized the importance of clearly defined clinical responsibility in high-performing care teams. The data continue to reinforce what many of us see in practice: when authority and accountability are structured, outcomes improve. That principle does not fade as healthcare modernizes. It becomes more important. ama-assn.org/practice-manage…

7/ AMA urged CMS not to remove Star Ratings measures that assess plan performance in areas such as appeals, customer service, network oversight, accuracy of information: these measures reflect functions within plan control & are central to beneficiary experience & access to care.
