After an incredible 7 years @flatironhealth and 22 years in practice I couldn't be more excited to be joining my friend @rsboon and the amazing team at @thymecares A better cancer journey for all. linkedin.com/pulse/better-ca…

A guest essay co-authored by @PennCancer's Dr. @ramsedhom offers several “commonsense interventions’” to optimize cancer care for older patients, such as whole-patient assessment, proactive monitoring, dose adjustment, & palliative care. @ASCOPost #GeriOnc spr.ly/6016o2pgp

"Imagine walking into a fancy restaurant only to find a menu consisting mostly of kids’ dishes. It would make no sense. Just 25% of restaurant diners are younger than age 12, and they rarely write Yelp reviews. But when it comes to cancer treatment, this is not very far from what we do. The median age for a new cancer diagnosis is 67,1 and among those who die of cancer each year, 73% are older adults. Yet just one in four clinical trial participants is aged 70 or older." Thank you @ASCOPost @smlichtman_md for publishing a piece close to my heart #GeriOnc ascopost.com/issues/septembe…

Someone please run an RCT with a primary outcome of OS MFolfirinox $5000 cash V. NALIRIFOX Let’s do better for our patients & stop pretending we are helping with “advances” like this

Thank you @BessemerVP

In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence… But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those beautiful kids at that music festival…

Thanks @FierceHealth for highlighting @ThymeCares exciting partnership with @AONcologyLLC to help drive success in EOM. American Oncology Network joins new alternative payment model, taps Thyme Care as partner fiercehealthcare.com/provide…

Please join us in formally welcoming Dr. @SamyuktaMD to the team as medical oncology director. Sam comes to us from @MSKCancerCenter and we are thrilled to have her! blog.thymecare.com/press/sam…

Very cool announcement from the Thyme Care team: They're partnering with AON, which will leverage Thyme's model & stack to participate in the Enhanced Oncology Model. "AON will partner with Thyme Care to reduce the total cost and improve the quality of care for AON patients. Thyme Care is a leading value-based cancer care partner, providing comprehensive cancer care support and navigation beyond the clinic for AON patients. As part of the partnership, Thyme Care will facilitate AON’s cancer clinics located across the country to participate in the EOM." Source: globenewswire.com/news-relea…

Finally found time to read the lovely @AmericaRamble and am grateful that @NKingofDC achieved what he beautifully refers to as his “clearing” from cancer so that he was able to tell this story.

Way to talk in generalities Joe. Not saying there aren't a lot of fucked up things about pharma. That's why we created Costplusdrugs.com. But to ignore that the same industry has saved who knows how many lives is bullshit and you know it. It's also disrespectful to all the doctors, researchers and medical professionals that dedicate their lives to saving lives, like Dr Hotez and the 800k plus doctors in the country that believe vaccines save lives You arent trying to find the ground truth on vaccines. If you were you would bring on someone who focused on debating the issue. Like @thereal_truther . Trying to bully Dr Hotez is ridiculous. You have producers that will prepare you and you get to control the conversation. @RobertKennedyJr also has a staff ready to prepare him, and these topics are what he talks about in every speech. You both do this on a daily basis Dr Hotez works every day to try to find ways to help people. Joe , you and @elonmusk's @twitter are the mainstream online media and your platforms have become everything supposedly wrong with MSM. You are driven by self interest. Just like the MSM always has been accused of. And you both have earned that right. You busted your asses to be great at what you do and earned all you have accomplished. But don't lie to yourselves and all of us and tell us you are different. You aren't.

Data generated during routine care that helps oncologists take better care of patients. That sounds nice ;).

While amazed at scientific advances @ASCO, returning to clinic was a humbling reminder that pts still suffer from: --inability to afford care --transportation needs --polypharmacy --unaddressed pain --navigation --poor communication We need to raise the ceiling AND the floor

#ASCO23 Here is the picture behind the picture. Brilliant, empathic, kind, genuine. A true visionary leader. Congratulations @lynn_schuchter on starting your presidency - @ASCO and we are so lucky to have you. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 @CliffordHudis @BurrisSkip @eevokes

The insanity of cancer patients being unable to access treatment because of preventable reasons is one of the reasons we started @ThymeCares. Today, we’re excited to join #CancerX as a founding member to support #CancerMoonshot. Thank you @modrnhealthcr bit.ly/3N9MyZe

Sam joined us at @thymecares only recently, but has a deep understanding of the problems we are trying to solve.

We are so lucky to have @lynn_schuchter as our incoming president @ASCO We talk daily of equity & inclusion. How lovely that her theme includes all the people who will not be cured of their disease and their grieving caregivers

There’s been way too little coverage of this. These kids rule!

In an interview with @AJMC_Journal, incoming Thyme Care Medical Director Sam Mullangi discusses the challenges in providing value-based cancer care, and how companies like Thyme Care are lowering costs and improving patient outcomes. ajmc.com/view/dr-samyukta-mu…

“Financial toxicity” refers to the financial stress many cancer patients experience during treatment. Learn more in this blog from Chief Medical Officer @pbcancerdoc on how care navigation that combines tech with human guidance can ease the burden: blog.thymecare.com/financial…

sounds like what the team @flatironhealth has been doing since 2014 ;)
