🧬 TWEETORIAL/X'torial: Why Every Rare Cancer Patient Deserves Molecular Profiling 🧬
1/15 🚨 Here's a shocking fact: Rare cancers make up 25% of ALL cancer cases, yet most patients never get the molecular testing that could save their lives.
👉In our policy & practice paper - 20th anniversary of @JCOOP_ASCO @ASCO @JCO_ASCO Our position 👉 Comprehensive molecular profiling must be standard care for rare cancers 🦓-#RareCancer #precisionMedicine Let's dive in @OncoAlert @Dr_R_Kurzrock 🧵
Free Link: ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP…Image 2/15 📊 The numbers are staggering:
~200 types of rare/ultra-rare cancers exist
Rare = <15 per 100,000 people
Ultra-rare = <1 per million/year
Yet together they affect MILLIONS of patients worldwide
Each deserves a fighting chance. 💪ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP…

💥🚨 A tweetorial/ X'torial on the paper published today "Tissue-agnostic cancer therapies: promise, reality, and the path forward"
@NatureComms @NaturePortfolio
👉The Future of Cancer Treatment is Here: Tissue-Agnostic Therapies @OncoAlert @ASCO #ASCO25
A Thread 🧵 1/15
nature.com/articles/s4146… 2/ What if we treated cancer based on its MOLECULAR drivers instead of where it started in the body?
This isn't science fiction—it's tissue-agnostic therapy, and it's revolutionizing oncology 🚀
