Delighted to be back in New York with colleagues for a symposium to contemplate the latest cancer developments globally, including a couple of days at the world renowned Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Centre, founded on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in 1884. It is predicted there will be 28 million new cancer cases worldwide, each year, by 2040. It’s a race against time. I’ll be joined by expert advisors Professor Lisa DeAngelis, Chief Physician Executive of MSK, Professor Dorothy Keefe, CEO of Cancer Australia and Dr Craig Earle, CEO, Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. David Byres, CEO of PHSA British Columbia, Lisa Morgan, Zayna Khayat and Dr Kim Chi, Chief Medical Officer of BC Cancer will also be participating as we look at the latest developments in prevention, screening, diagnostics, treatment, survivorship and end of life care across the ‘cancer continuum’. There are optimistic signs in many areas of the ‘cancer continuum’, including the use of next-generation screening technologies that can identify genetic mutations and biomarkers which support the personalization of prevention and treatment plans, detect cancer quicker, minimise invasive procedures, and improve treatment efficacy. As ever, however, there can be no health and cancer care without a workforce and this is a pressing priority. #cancercare #canada #usa #radiology #pathology #cancercontinuum #manhattan #memorialsloanekettering #phsa #patients #survivorship #digital #genomics #australia #uk #prevention #workforce #nyc

I am happy to see The White House bring renewed focus to the Cancer Moonshot -- a national mobilization effort to end cancer. As an oncologist and bioethicist, I have a few thoughts about the recent announcement:  1. Unfortunately, this announcement includes no new money beyond the original commitment -- and we need more resources to reach these lofty but important goals. 2. Developing a “biomedical data fabric toolbox” is the right direction, but we need to do more. Core information on every cancer patient needs to be sent to an independently overseen database that allows approved research teams to access it. Attempts to patch together existing data sets will not work for what is needed.   3. We need significant progress on clinical research trials; that will take the hard work of re-doing how we recruit for and conduct clinical trials. We need to break out of the old model -- focused on academic medical centers -- and get more community members enrolled in trials through community doctors.  #healthcare #medicine #cancermoonshot

I attended a reception of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute’s Society last evening. I am never more humbled, nor more energized, than when I am in the company of so many survivors, caregivers, physicians, researchers, and clinicians who are standing together to vanquish cancer. The fellowship in the room was palpable, with people sharing their stories of struggle, triumph, pain, hope, perseverance, success, and loss. Although so many of us were strangers prior to last evening, we spoke easily amongst ourselves about the bond that brought us together – the never-ending battle to defeat cancer before it starts and after it strikes. The volunteer efforts around cancer-focused events that I heard about were so expansive – such extraordinary people reflecting humanitarianism, activism, and compassion at its best. Dana Farber, a truly sacred place, has been instrumental in more than half of the cancer drugs approved by the FDA in the past five years. There is no more impressive testament to the commitment and excellence of the employees who are responsible for those contributions. The fifth anniversary of my stem cell transplant is next week – there was no better way to celebrate than with those who have achieved similar milestones, those who aspire to reach them, and the pantheon of medical practitioners who are making them possible. There is no doubt that I am here because of Dana Farber. It literally was my life blood. For those of you in the Boston area, if you are not already actively supporting Dana Farber in some way, I implore you to do so. Cancer incidences are rising at an alarming rate. It is imperative that medicine and science keep pace. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Inc #cancer #volunteer #pmc #jimmyfund #lls #pharma #boston #massachusetts #healthcare
