1/2: CTCs can also be used to measure response the therapy in #Metastatic patients and may detect progression months before imaging. CTCs & cfDNA can also detect new and potentially actionable mutations #2019MetCancerEngagement

Here at @metavivor @MetastasisRS metastatic patient engagement conference. Great discussion on disparities with @ViolentKuchar @mkhealingwithin & Broderick Crawford. Racial/ethnic background, age, gender, even where one lives are all sources of disparity. #2019MetCancerEngagement

2/2: soapbox alert: EVERY METASTATIC PATIENT SHOULD HAVE A LIQUID BIOPSY AT DIAGNOSIS AND PROGRESSION. If not to make treatment decisions for that pt then to use this info collectively to determine direction of future research. #2019MetCancerEngagement

We now know that some cancer cells can be disseminated very, very early - before a primary tumor is even visible - remaining dormant for years before reawakening and raising ugly metastatic heads. Sneaky little bastards #2019MetCancerEngagement

Even though she’s on the other coast, @SpiveySandra is asking great ?s of our panelists at #2019MetCancerEngagement, including one about how can imaging better distinguish between scar tissue from treatment and persistent #brainmets. Answer: imaging is getting there, stay tuned

In response to @SpiveySandra’s ?about problems with bone bx decalcification process harming the tissue so it’s not evaluable: slow decalicification process is less damaging. Before a bone bx ask how your facility does decalcification. #2019MetCancerEngagement

.@cnsmender: “You have a right to your tissue”. You can, and should, take possession of your tissue before it’s destroyed - it may not be kept forever (it’s in a paraffin block so no special handling needed). #2019MetCancerEngagement
