Lung Cancer / Mesothelioma
There’s a single lung cancer trial being presented 6/1/08 at ASCO’s Plenary Session, at which the most important cancer studies of the year are presented. This is on the FLEX trial that I described in a prior post, and which was already reported to be positive, at a press release all the way back in […]
0 CommentsIn past years, a huge book of abstracts, the approximately 250 word summaries for each study, were mailed out to members of ASCO (the American Society of Clinical Oncology) in mid-May, but they weren’t publicly available to anyone else until the time of the huge annual conference about 2-3 weeks later (where most of the biggest […]
0 CommentsThe tech support folks did some adjustments and debugging late yesterday, particularly to try to ensure that password recovery works when you request an e-mail for a new one. They think you should now be able to log into the main site home page (www.cancergrace.org) as well as the forum page (www.cancergrace.org/forums), and that […]
9 CommentsOK folks, the web guys think they fixed the GRACE sign-in issues AND (let’s hope) the lack of e-mail response when users request a new password. Please report any emerging or continuing problems to me (west@cancergrace.org), or you should still be able to start a thread on the OncTalk forums for a while to generate your […]
0 Comments We’re back up, so people can leave comments after these posts, register, etc.
The plan is to move over the all of the post content to the GRACE website, and then start a new forum section there, freezing the OncTalk forums so that they can be read and searched, but not added to. Instead, a […]
Thanks to member Carlos for bringing to our attention a high profile article in the New York Times today about some controversy now surrounding the Early Lung Cancer Action Project (ELCAP) trial, probably the most influential study of CT screening that has been done. Let me disclose immediately that my own […]
0 Comments A couple of things of note for the OncTalk community:
First, you may have noticed that Dr. McCune posted an article on survivorship issues. She’s not an uninvited hacker who’s posting on the site, but a requested additional faculty member who’s going to help run the bigger enterprise over on the GRACE website, where there will […]
The National Lung Cancer Partnership (NLCP) is listed among useful other resources on our website, but they’re actually another nonrofit organization with whom I and OncTalk have had an ongoing cooperative and actually very complementary relationship. Started by lung cancer expert and true leader Joan Schiller at the UT-Southwestern in Dallas, NLCP started as Women Against Lung Cancer and had a high […]
0 CommentsHello again! Some of you may have wondered why any patient would choose to see an oncology social worker. I thought I would take this opportunity to explore the top reasons why patients come to see me in the first place. These are not in any particular order, except for the first one, so […]
4 Comments Is the grass greener?
I have noticed that a number of the participants on this site are Canadians, which is only one reason I always keep my extra Canadian “u”s in my posts. There have been a few issues that have come up that might be different on the other side of the border, […]
