Another life lost due to DPYD-associated chemotherapy toxicity (bit.ly/3SEBeGu). It’s time for the NCCN to recommend universal DPYD testing before initiating chemotherapy.

Very cool!!! #LFS #genetics

Thank you, @kategenetics.bsky.social!
Loved being on your new show.

Why is the United States the last Western country that is not recommending DPYD testing before administering chemotherapy? My Gene Counsel CEO @ellenmatloff.bsky.social reports on this life-saving testing for @forbes.com: t.co/SPpzfERqIL #genechat #precisionmedicine

Medicare stops access to #Telehealth April 1st for almost all. [Even rural pts must drive to a 🏥 office 1st & THEN get telehealth.]

This will lead to:
1️⃣ less access to specialty care
2️⃣ poorer outcomes
3️⃣ higher costs for people with cancer

#Telemedicine was a step forward. Let's not fall back.

Hey GCs — looking for a job?

This was very cool. GCs and pathologists should work together closely, and this will only increase w precision medicine.

There is so much to be learned from these cases!

How in the world do you recontact the hundreds or thousands of your past patients with new info on management, risk figures, or VUS reclassification? mGC can help.

Thank you! Same.

Genetic counselors have in invaluable role in the future of precision medicine, especially as genetic and genomic services become more available. Read the latest from mGC CEO @ellenmatloff.bsky.social in her interview with The Pathologist: hubs.ly/Q02YJZvg0 #genechat #precisionmedicine

Hi - glad to be here! I’m a genetic counselor and a female founder of a company helping more people get genetic testing, and then receive updates on their results as the field changes. Hoping to connect with patients, advocates, and digital health companies!
