So happy to be asked to speak at this amazing meeting! Comprehensive genomic profiling is going to be key for identifying treatment options for patients, treatments that won’t work and also how to screen patients down the road!

🧠 Cancer responds. Surgeons wait. Patients lose. In our new Converse Study (n=2,379 HCC patients), 16% responded well enough to be potentially cured after Atezolizumab+Bevacizumab. But only 3% actually received curative treatment. We call this the under-conversion gap:

Another week on the inpatient oncology service and this time had MULTIPLE folks come in in critical condition because they went to a quack and tried to treat their once curable cancer with supplements, tinctures, extreme diets or just ivermectin and fenbendazole. Cancer patients
