With the start of #ASCO25, I have shared some slides of #AANHPI #bcsm & #crcsm disparities. Some AANHPI ethnic groups have younger age at diagnosis, present at more advanced stages, & have worse prognosis. But this is just a snapshot. We still need more disaggregated data!

#ASCO2025 is always a blast with the crew 🤩😇

After meeting last ASCO, lucky to now call Nishwant Swami, MD, MPH a research collaborator and friend! Can’t wait to see what lucky Heme/Onc Fellowship Program will get to recruit him! Look out for his application this fall! #Florezlab #ASCO25

Another wonderful piece from Drs. James Wu | 吴简凡 MD and Edward Christopher "Chris" Dee, MD taking a deeper look at intersectionality and the Asian American community. 👏🏻
