#ColonCancer impacts us all. Even our mighty superheroes. A reminder: ✅ No family history->screen at 45 or 50. ✅ Family history->screen at 40 or earlier. ✅ If symptoms at ANY AGE-> colonoscopy now ✅ Don’t let #COVID19 allow u 2 delay Wakanda Forever✊🏾 #ChadwickBoseman

After 19 years, I’ve left Stanford. The accumulated gender discrimination and harassment had taken their toll. I shared my story with @kate_selig and @StanfordDaily because I think it is important and hope it will empower others to speak up. THREAD 1/

We really need to start incorporating PROs into routine oncology practice, but no easy way to do this in our EMR still. This is like geriatric assessment - needs institutional champions to move it forward, guidelines not enough. Difficult to find support.
