This is a blatant misrepresentation of our work science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Our study does not in any way suggest that the application of SPF50 sunscreen “blocks our natural defences” or is detrimental to health.

I wrote a thing: 'forced-birth fascists want a federal database to track all pregnant women' — whatever happened to 'reproductive rights should be left up to the states'?

Real world 🇬🇧 Lorlatinib study

🔹 2L mPFS = 5.0m
🔹 3L+ mPFS = 17.2m
🔹 3% developed CNS on treatment

Limited activity in 2L sobering. Perhaps 1L Lorlatinib, given CROWN data, becoming a more attractive option 🤔

Great work from Tylan Lucas & Daniel Hughes
