Douglas Flora: The Handle and the Helix – Rebooting Cancer Care from First Principles
Douglas Flora, Executive Medical Director of Oncology Services at St. Elizabeth Healthcare and ACCC President-Elect, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The Handle and the Helix: Rebooting Cancer Care from First Principles
The future of cancer care may not just lie in the next blockbuster drug but in the patient whose cancer is never allowed to bloom. In the algorithm that finds the faint signal of a shift years before a scan. In the treatment that works not because it was copied from another, but because it was designed from first principles: precisely, personally, profoundly.
This is the essence of the reboot we need: a hard reset of our fundamental approach. Cancer care requires more than incremental improvement, like the computer that has accumulated too many patches, workarounds, and legacy systems. Read on if you’re curious about how I think we can accelerate progress in our search for cures. I hope you enjoy this latest essay.”
