:✨Abnormal blood counts are more than just numbers on a lab report— they’re part of a group of rare blood cancers called MPNs (myeloproliferative neoplasms).

Thanks to Incyte for sponsoring an event where I got to hear directly from patients about what living with an MPN really feels like.

What struck me most? Symptoms don’t always show up in labs or scans—but they do matter. Fatigue, brain fog, night sweats, and more can be the best signal of how controlled (or uncontrolled) the disease really is.

I saw tears. I heard doubts. I felt the weight of discouragement… but I also saw resilience, strength, and optimism.

As a physician, it was a powerful reminder: symptoms matter. Listening matters. Support matters.

If you or someone you love is living with an MPN, you don’t have to go unseen.

by Incyte | Imagine being able to share a powerful image instead of relying on medical terms to describe symptoms. With the MPN VisualAIzer, patients with chronic blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) can do just that—which is important, not only to help with quality-of-life control but also for help managing the disease itself in partnership with care teams.

it is "lifting the baseline of accuracy and access and accelerating timelines that were once painfully slow. For all its brilliance, AI doesn’t tell stories—people do. And medicine, at its core, is still the story of one person trying to help another. That's not going anywhere."

3 minute read of my article that I thought needed to (1) not undermine / acknowledge how frankly vast the potential and capability of multi-modal AI tools can potentially be, while (2) giving you granular examples and elements of why--imo--there will always be a role of a 'physician' in civilization; no matter how advanced. Yes, or no?

When you see large language models passing medical licensing exams, it’s easy to wonder—how long until AI becomes the doctor?

hard to find a group of patients (and their families) facing a medical diagnosis who deserve the very best from us, both in guidance and in aid. humbled by this award, and for the record belongs entirely to the selfless mentorship i've been afforded, by professors, friends, and patients alike!

In the interview with Targeted Oncology, Sanjay K. Juneja, MD, 2024 Oncology Icons honoree, discusses the transformative power of collaboration, technology, and compassionate care in shaping his career, as well as the future of cancer treatment.

a science to assess how robust your --the innate, front lines one--is... based on your wine preferences. this little kit is 95% accurate bc it's actually based on studies during cov1d to see how and why some people have symptoms for weeks, or get sick enough to need admission.. vs others who were tired for a few days. turns out, if you like and in your ..aka a non taster.. you have an average of 23 days before resolution of symptoms.. as opposed to FIVE as a super taster. check out study on bitterness--or the link--to learn more.

this episode is special, because our guest Dr. Codi Peterson, who was apparently an avid listener, messaged 'simply to say thank you'. it turns out, our episode on angiosarcoma with Corrie Painter helped his fam navigate through a time. crazier, though, was when I looked at his bio and saw he was EXACTLY WHAT ID BEEN LONG LOOKING FOR--an expert on / / and an associate professor at SoCal! so, here you have it--probably the most common question I get on social media: do cannabinoids have a place in anti cancer therapy? spoiler alert.. the answer is yes.

Thank you Wired Magazine for letting me explain how insanely wicked our under appreciated system works! Trying to make cool again. okay, just cool. lesson of the experience: dont speak on things you're not talking about often--cardiology does not have the same "auto-pilot" mode 🥴🙈

As close as I am to patients not just surviving--but thriving--in light of a cancer diagnosis, I find myself still so very distant from what it really requires to 'show up', every day. For our very special 50th episode of Target Cancer Podcast, I feel like I can understand it a little bit better, thanks to three of the many, many imitable out there in their strength and courage. Whether you have, know someone with, or are are completely removed from the world of cancer, it is the first time I can say with full belief that this episode will effect you in some positive way, going into tomorrow. Thank you Kelly Thomas, Bethany Webb, and Erin Soto for your humbling vulnerability to share what I know you all hope can help someone else out there today. And a sincere moment to thank the xCures team for their commitment to improving the lives, accessibility, and empowering education to both survivors and their loved ones, as well as the cancer community. Here's to the strength of when a community comes together.

so proud of Cancer Advocacy Group of Louisiana (CAGLA) and our scientific advisory board for trying to do right by our patients in Louisiana. here's to hopefully assisting with one of the most addictive, troubling habits still around today, amongst others with preventative treatment and potentially term remission therapy.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — Last week our CAGLA Team attended a bill signing ceremony with Governor Jon Bel Edwards in Baton Rouge at the State Capitol. The three CAGLA bills signed at this ceremony by Governor Edwards were 1) HB 435 – CAR-T Bill by Rep. Aimee Freeman, 2) SB 200 Cancer Screening Bi...
