Dr Hugo De La Peña, MD, PHD, FRCP.’s Post

Ying Liu, MD, MPH, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, was awarded the FWC 2023-2024 Wilma Williams Education and Clinical Research Grant for Endometrial Cancer at this year's Annual Meeting. In this video interview, Dr. Liu elaborates on potential advancements in gynecologic cancer research, including her research that aims to utilize the microbiome and changes in therapies to identify women who would benefit most from additional treatments. Visit the link below to read the full article: https://bit.ly/4blM6Rb Through her mentorship, Dr. Liu hopes to instill a sense of possibility and empower aspiring gynecologic oncologists to pursue their dreams. “I hope that seeing someone like me receive a FWC grant will motivate future generations and show them that their dreams are possible too." #AAPIMonth #NationalCancerResearchMonth

Should we reevaluate screening protocols?

Research has shown the number of breast cancer diagnoses in younger women is increasing and I am glad to see that understanding the raise in cancer rates in younger individuals is one of the priorities for both the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Cancer Research UK. #breastcancer #breastcancerresearch #cancerresearch

It is easier to see correlations than to determine the causality of diseases in a large population. Access to high quality data from molecular diagnosis and fit for purpose real world data will be critical to generate meaningful hypotheses for solving a health problem. #moleculardiagnostics #realworlddata #populationhealth

They start you out young, with a disturbing amount of heavy metals in formula for babies. From there on in, through life, the available food options contain: preservatives, additives, fillers, and unnecessarily sweetened/full of sodium, etc. Any food options that are considered healthy, are still lower par than what it should be and are much more expensive. However, in this case, you have to pick your poison: either you pay for healthier products now (if you can afford it, which I know many people really can’t which is a whole other topic in itself) OR pay for it later in medical bills, medications, and therapies. Even if you make a simple switch on one item that is healthier, it’s still better than nothing. The entire food industry needs an overhaul. And the “Food” part of the Food and Drug Administration needs more funding, people and enforcement, because it’s more like the Drug and Food Administration. There is so much more funding and attention given to the drugs part. For reference: https://lnkd.in/eS7x7SXJ
