🎥 Can survivor stories heal distress?

In Botswana, over 67% of breast cancer patients reported moderate-to-high distress. This pilot study found that peer-led survivor videos reduced distress and alleviated fear and body image concerns.

✅ Cultural relevance matters.
📉 29% drop in distress after two videos.
📌 A low-cost, scalable psychosocial intervention for LMICs.

I am loving Dr. DeMichele’s comments, including her insistence on longer survival and discussion of crossover issues. #ASCO25 #plenary #serena-6
Also loving audience questions. They are asking hard questions on the utility of PFS.
I feel happy that the education is spreading and audience are asking the questions that people didn’t use to ask a few years ago.
The status quo does seem to be changing. That makes me happy.
Also, for a full discussion of all issues that are being discussed, read CSO checklist paper-sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
