Imagine 4 new anticancer drugs Pallituzumab, Geriatriximab, Symptomab, & Exercizumab hit the market. They should dominate the plenary sessions at ASCO & command billion-dollar revenue. But they don't because they're nonpharmacologic & shame on us.

Loved the opportunity to discuss whole person cancer care !

cancernetwork.com/view/psycho-on…

www.cancernetwork.com Psycho-Oncology and Palliative Care: Treating the Person, Not Just the Tumor | CancerNetwork Daniel C. McFarland, DO, and Ramy Sedhom, MD, discussed colocated psycho-oncology and palliative care, warm handoffs, and proactive distress screening.

"Ultimately, time is the most precious thing any person has—never more so than after a cancer diagnosis—and protecting how it is spent is a goal worth our shared effort."

Glad to see the CHALLENGE trial covered in the @nytimes - hopefully, one day, payors will support when the oncologist prescribes exercizumab nytimes.com/2026/10/06/wel…

www.nytimes.com It Can Keep Cancer in Remission. Why Is No One Talking About It? Despite mounting evidence that exercise programs can improve cancer outcomes, access to them remains limited.

Unfortunately, we are seeing more of this everyday. I do wish health systems did more to address the existential distress of dying patients nytimes.com/2026/10/04/mag…

www.nytimes.com Dying Patients Are Inundated by Misinformation. My Dad Was One of Them. Cancer patients are being persuaded to spend tens of thousands on unproven treatments by alternative-medicine clinics.
