Seeing the journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) highlight the role of #physicalactivity makes my heart go pitter patter! Why? Because movement is medicine and physical INACTIVITY is one of the leading contributors to poor physical and mental health across all diseases. Do you ever wonder about the difference between physical activity, exercise, and fitness? It's actually quite simple. Physical activity is any type of movement, while exercise is a planned, intentional form of movement. Fitness, on the other hand, is the outcome you want to achieve. All three play a role in your overall health and well-being. These articles emphasize the significance of any form of movement for individuals affected by cancer. It is important to remember that even a small amount of activity is better than none at all. Engaging in movements while sitting or lying down is more beneficial than remaining inactive. They all matter. Keep in mind - Perfect is the enemy of the good. Good is great! Start with good. #exerciseoncology #lifestylemedicine #exerciseismedicine

Have you ever wondered why skin cancer rates are not falling faster as sunscreen formulations continue improve? One of the reasons is the time lag between UV exposure and the development of skin cancer. Skin cancer diagnosed today is often the result of negligent behavior decades ago. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend this interview with my colleague Dr. Myriam Sohn. #BASF #SunCare #SunProtection #AllAboutSun #BASF_Care360

In this video, Dr. Brian Sworder discusses the objective, methodology, and key results for one of the studies presented at the American Society of Hematology (#ASH) Annual Conference in 2023. The study shows the #utility of our proprietary technology, PhasED-Seq™ #MRD, vs. PET/CT to predict response following #curative intent induction #therapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (#DLBCL). #ForesightDx's ultra-sensitive liquid biopsy platform, Foresight CLARITY™ , is powered by PhasED-Seq™.

World FSHD Day, observed annually on June 20, raises awareness about Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), the most common form of muscular dystrophy – and one that has affected my family, friends and colleagues. Originating in Italy on June 20, 2016, this global celebration encourages FSHers, their supporters, and communities to flood social media with orange slice selfies, turn their towns orange, and celebrate our resilient community. The choice of “orange slices” symbolizes the challenge faced by over 1 million individuals living with FSHD: facial muscle weakness often prevents them from smiling. Despite the misnomer, FSHD affects all muscles in the body, not just the face, shoulders, and upper arms. Its progression varies among affected individuals, even within families. On World FSHD Day, let’s recognize the sponsors working toward disease-modifying treatments for FSHD. We’re fortunate that several therapies are now advancing through clinical drug development. #WorldFSHDDay #FacioscapulohumeralMuscularDystrophy #RareDisease #SyneosHealth
