Discussing the history of GVHD prophylaxis on rounds today with @MDPhD10 . We have an over-simplified figure showing its evolution, followed by how we hope GVHD prophylaxis will be imagined in the future in our recent review paper @ASCO_pubs #JCO :

I’m honestly so proud of this trial and our team! @AlexHooverMD showing us important peds vs adult data with PTCy. That chronic GVHD CI curve 👀 We hope the need for years and years of immunosuppression due to #GVHD is gone forever. 👋 👇♥️🙏

I’m in my 20th year as a physician. The past 20 years have been more difficult and more rewarding than anything I could have imagined as a child growing up on the prairie. Currently in deep reflection. What to do with the next 20 years?

Key 🔑 question from @StephanieLeeMD : how will #COVID19 vaccine work in #immunocompromised ? #Fauci paraphrased: We don’t know now. May not be as robust response. However, some immune response to vaccine is better than none. Recommend to get vaccinated as soon as able ✅
