People with bladder and other urothelial cancers got a long-awaited new FDA approved option in December that is already extending survival. Read the story of one patient's early access to pembro + padcev, thanks to the dedication of her medical team at Duke Cancer Institute. Looking ahead, Chris Hoimes, medical oncologist at DCI, leads #KeynoteB15, a global clinical trial of the drug combination in an earlier setting--before people undergo surgery. The trial has "curative intent," said Hoimes. #InnovativeTreatment | #CancerResearch | #Survival #Hope

Thanks for sharing, Dr. Sullenger.
Centennial Spotlight: David Colston Sabiston Jr. In 1964, David Sabiston came from Johns Hopkins to Duke, where he led Duke Surgery for 30 years. A giant in his field, he incorporated laboratory research into surgery, oversaw training programs that have been emulated all over the world, and helped desegregate Duke’s clinics in the late 1960s. #Duke100 #ForeverDuke https://lnkd.in/eEW5WK6Y

More than 150 people attended the MaryAnn Black Distinguished Health Equity Symposium at the Durham Convention Center last Friday. In an interactive poster session, students, researchers, healthcare professionals, and representatives from community organizations spoke about their work to advance health equity in the community — from raising awareness about the connection between radon and lung cancer, to studying disparities in the acknowledgment of and approach to the mental health effects of ovarian cancer, to a community-engaged research effort in head & neck cancer, and several other public health projects. The poster session was part of a larger event that also included speeches by DCI Executive Director Michael B. Kastan, MD, PhD, and Duke School of Medicine Dean Mary Klotman, MD; a panel discussion between civic and community leaders on efforts and challenges in mitigating health disparities; and a keynote by Mary Bassett, MD, MPH (Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health) — "An Unbroken Thread: The Pursuit of Health Equity" — which reviewed the impact of racism and the civil rights movement on public health and envisioned a path forward. This #Duke100 event honoring Ms. Black's legacy was hosted by the DCI Community Outreach, Engagement, and Equity program, with the support of Duke University Health System Community Health; the Duke University School of Medicine Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and Department of Population Health Sciences; and the Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute. More to come later this week, including a video link, highlights, and more images from the event.
