    The new breakthrough immunotherapies are a miracle in some cancers -- for 15% of patients. But @Bob_Wachter childes: don't forget the rest.https://nyti.ms/2Jh2eWR

        The key lessons are unchanged: The seriously ill have goals for their care besides just survival. When we don't ask what they are (what tradeoffs they'd make & not make; what quality of life is unacceptable) and tune care accordingly, incl new treatments, the result is suffering.

        The term **Palliative care** needs rebranding, so more patients have better days. Right now, to most people, it means death house.pic.twitter.com/6MOZcddFfy

        Dr. @Atul_Gawande isn't it about personalized treatments? As modalities (not specific treatments), immunotherapies and cell therapies have the potential to develop a personalized treatment. The 15% of patients just happen to be matches to the treatments we have to date. No?

        Interesting reading. Alongside planning treatment for advanced cancer, shouldn’t we all be planning for the “what if it doesn’t do as we hope” Advanced care planning alongside treatment should be routine

        Kind of numbing in that 'the rest' means ~85%; a wonderful article

        Keep in mind esp. those who die from the immunotherapy drugs themselves.
