 | Debi Cirasole @DebiCasserole @BTSMchat 🙋 Present! 😄 #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Thanks so much to everyone who has joined, we are about to get started with Topic 1 in just a few minutes. #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @sean_sachdev @BTSMchat Great to see you Dr. Sachdev! #btsm |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ Hi! I'm Sabine. German native, living in NJ. Diagnosed in 2014 with AA3. @theABTA Advisory Council member and BT advocate. In 2018, I tweet daily under #sabine365 to raise awareness. #btsm |
 | Erica Robinson @eleighrobs Hi everyone! Erica here. 7-year brain tumor survivor, and advocate and team captain for @NBTStweets #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Tonight we are talking about the Low Grade Glioma Registry out of @YaleSPH and @BWHNeurosurgery. #BTSM |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @TheLizArmy I’m going to go try in a second #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Greetings everyone-nice to see many familiar "faces" #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @eleighrobs @NBTStweets How was the Brain Freeze??!!! Where was it? #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Before we get started lets define what we mean by low grade glioma (LGG). Traditionally gliomas are classified grade I to IV. /1 #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Grade I tumors are generally non-malignant, frequently curable with complete surgical resection, and occur primarily in children. /2 #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Grade I tumors are believed to represent an entity separate from grade II-IV (seen primarily in adults). /3 #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @adamhayden And #fashionicon. #BTSM |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @adamhayden @Sabine_NJ Agreed! I love your daily tweets! #btsm |
| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica Hi Adam, how are you doing? Did you still want papers or information on a few concern, we discussed a few sessions ago? #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Adult grade II tumors (Low Grade Gliomas or LGG) include astrocytomas, oligo-astrocytomas (mixed) gliomas and oligodendrogliomas. /4 #BTSM |
| Erica Robinson @eleighrobs @TheLizArmy @NBTStweets The #ctbrainfreeze was in West Haven, CT today. The warmth of the brain tumor community made you forget about the freezing cold water we ran into! For real! It was fun! #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy RT @gliomaregistry: Before we get started lets define what we mean by low grade glioma (LGG). Traditionally gliomas are classified grade I to IV. /1 #BTSM |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @LisaJaayyy Awake?! I never knew that! #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Any person currently over the age of 20 years with an initial diagnosis of LGG is eligible for the LGG registry. /5 #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @LisaJaayyy Awake craniotomy? Woah... You and @CBlotner_ have something in common. ☺️ #btsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @gliomaregistry But there’s a few “rare” adults out here too w/ Grade 1! 😉 #btsm |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ RT @gliomaregistry: Any person currently over the age of 20 years with an initial diagnosis of LGG is eligible for the LGG registry. /5 #BTSM |
 | ADRIENNE SWAN @ADRIENNESWAN1 RT @NBTStweets: In one hour, our friends @btsmchat host Dr. Elizabeth Claus, and will discuss the @gliomaregistry. You can participate at 9pm Eastern and following the hashtag, #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @TheLizArmy @LisaJaayyy Old news! #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Now, let’s get started with T1… #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @diegomprost @BTSMchat Glad you're here Dr. Prost! #btsm |
 | Victoria @V_BBurns @BTSMchat #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry First-some background. Why do we need the LGG registry?/1 #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Treatment and survival times for this young group of patients (30,000 or more in the US alone!) have not changed over the past forty years, few environmental exposures have been consistently linked to risk and the optimal treatment remains unclear./2 #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy I registered and sent in my info/data/med record to participate in the Low Grade @gliomaregistry a little over a year ago. It was fun to collect everything to participate. #btsm https://t.co/5TOVRxN2vz |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Time to move the field forward!/3 #BTSM |
 | Albert @thonioand RT @gliomaregistry: Adult grade II tumors (Low Grade Gliomas or LGG) include astrocytomas, oligo-astrocytomas (mixed) gliomas and oligodendrogliomas. /4 #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry So how do we plan to do this?/1 #BTSM |
 | Matt Cotcher @MLCotcher Adult Grade II, checking in! (Although some would question my adult-ness) #btsm |
 | Dr. Sadhana Jackson, MD @DrSadhanaJ Here to listen in on the #btsm chat! #BrainCancer #btsmqol #glioblastoma |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry What is considered "young" when it comes to people with brain tumors/brain cancers? Is it 40, or 60? #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry :) #BTSM |
 | Dan Real @danreal21 12 year old lgg on brain stem - wait and watch #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ I'm curious: Who here had heard of the LGG Registry prior to tonight? 🧐🧠 #btsm https://t.co/FC9t0aejFy |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Our study will enroll patients currently 21 years or older #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @DrSadhanaJ Thanks for joining! I have been appreciating your tweets and use of #BTSM when sharing research. |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ Reasons for Low Grade Glioma Registry: #btsm https://t.co/lQfzvboPm1 |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @danreal21 You are 12 years old, or you are aware of your tumor for 12 years now? #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy RT @CBlotner_: I'm curious: I'm curious: Who here had heard of the LGG Registry prior to tonight? 🧐🧠 #btsm https://t.co/FC9t0aejFy |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry We will enroll and collect clinical/biological/quality of life (QOL) data for 2000 LGG patients via the internet. We have begun with the generous support of @ABTA @NBTS @IBTA and LOGLIO. /2 #BTSM |
 | National Brain Tumor Society @NBTStweets RT @Sabine_NJ: Reasons for Low Grade Glioma Registry: Reasons for Low Grade Glioma Registry: #btsm https://t.co/lQfzvboPm1 |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Excellent question-What are some of the questions the LGG registry will study?/1 #BTSM |
 | Diego Prost @diegomprost T1. will be registry. I'm having so many supporters from surgery departments around the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. I'm completely encourage to help with the registry #btsm |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ @CBlotner_ I did! I met Dr. Claus at the @theABTA conferences in 2016 and 2017. #btsm |
| National Brain Tumor Society @NBTStweets RT @gliomaregistry: Excellent question-What are some of the questions the LGG registry will study?/1 #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Sorry about mis-tagging. A generous thank you to @NBTStweets @theABTA @theIBTA for their support! #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @ZHeatherChamp @gliomaregistry I believe @NIHBrainTumor is doing a registry for people with all kinds of tumors and are specifically looking for people w/rare tumors. #btsm |
| Lisa O'Leary @lisaoleary524 @CBlotner_ I only knew about it through the promotions for tonight's chat - I tend to focus more on GBM and HGG's, so here to learn #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry To allow patients to better judge the relative benefit of treatment timing and selection, we will be the first group to assess quality of life/symptoms/neurocognitive function in a large cohort of LGG survivors across treatment modality./2 #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry also-By looking at tumors from patients with multiple surgeries, to study how genetic mutations (and outcome) change by treatment selected (chemotherapy, radiation, observation) to better select treatment./3 #BTSM |
| National Brain Tumor Society @NBTStweets RT @gliomaregistry: To allow patients to better judge the relative benefit of treatment timing and selection, we will be the first group to assess quality of life/symptoms/neurocognitive function in a large cohort of LGG survivors across treatment modality./2 #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @adamhayden @CBlotner_ @NBTStweets I heard of the LGG registry through Charlie Blotner, then tweets from @theABTA conference (maybe shared by @Lifeiskitsch). #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @diegomprost So this is an International registry? Interesting! #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @Sabine_NJ @CBlotner_ @theABTA Pic or it didn't happen! 😉 #btsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @TheLizArmy Did you mention this to me before? Right? #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @diegomprost Fantastic to hear that your efforts are being well received. #btsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @LisaJaayyy @CBlotner_ I’m sure neither do Gangliocytoma #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @LisaJaayyy @CBlotner_ Check out the @NIHBrainTumor registry. They are taking all comers! #btsm @Tsarmstrong01 might have the link. |
| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica to followup on Adam's question. what is the distribution of the patients samples (% male vs female) etc #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @ZHeatherChamp I did! Search the @NIHBrainTumor site to find the details. #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry We are about to move to T2 so please take a minute to share some closing thoughts on T1. #BTSM |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @TheLizArmy @LisaJaayyy If that’s the one you mentioned to me previously, you have to be in proximity to the location. I can’t afford travel so I was not eligible. #btsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @TheLizArmy @NIHBrainTumor Thx! Done and done. I wasn’t eligible because I didn’t live in the state. Ugh #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @lisaoleary524 @CBlotner_ I believe one of the reasons the Low Grade @gliomaregistry is important, even for people with GBM, is that it is a fairly new concept to have "longer term" survivors of malignant brain tumors. #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry You’re probably wondering: “What are participants asked to do upon enrollment in the LGG registry?”/1 #BTSM |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @gliomaregistry @Abta @nbts @ibta What made you decide to collect quality of life data for LGGs? Has this area been studied before? #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @lisaoleary524 @CBlotner_ @gliomaregistry We don't know what the side effects will be for longer-term survivors in 10, 20 years (should we be so lucky). If we start studying us now, we will be prepared for when survival rates improve for ppl w/GBM. #btsm |
| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica to followup on adam's question. what is the distribution of patient samples in the registry. is there a bias in gender , age? #btsm #brainamerica @brianamerica |
 | Dave Pantoja, PhD @oncoscientist RT @NCICancerStats: White women are more than twice as likely as Asian/Pacific Islander women to die of #BrainCancer: White women are more than twice as likely as Asian/Pacific Islander women to die of #BrainCancer: https://t.co/7IcKRSClS7 #BTSM https://t.co/2q7xkMtJ4z |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry We ask patients for written consent, a pathology report and to complete an online questionnaire. We also ask for a saliva sample (via mail)./2 #BTSM |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ RT @gliomaregistry: Our study will enroll patients currently 21 years or older #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry What are some of your concerns about enrolling in a brain tumor registry or research study? #BTSM |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ Chat participants: how many of you (patients, caregivers, and clinicians) were able to find studies to look to that talked about QOL when selecting treatment protocols? Not that there are many options, but, you get the jist of what I'm asking. #btsm |
| Lisa O'Leary @lisaoleary524 @adamhayden @TheLizArmy @lisaoleary524 @CBlotner_ @gliomaregistry Amen Adam, and I'll be right by your side the whole way! #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @adamhayden @lisaoleary524 @CBlotner_ @gliomaregistry Being able to compare long term outcomes for ppl who had radiation+chemo, vs chemo alone will be a big deal. #BTSM |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ LGG registry will study quality of life amongst other questions: #btsm https://t.co/DKFIQ9Y1eu |
| Diego Prost @diegomprost @gliomaregistry Has the questionnaire a Spanish version? Is it there any facility to affording the mailing cost for the samples? #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Not sure if this went thru so will resend-LGGer's are young (average age at diagnosis is 41 years) and in the prime of life-working, driving, planning families, taking care of self and others-maintaining QOL and NCF extremely important #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy And to translate that acronym, QOL = quality of life. Quality of life attributes include maintaining your regular activities, fatigue, mood, etc. #BTSM https://t.co/5rJArRm9M6 |
| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica who has access to study samples., who decides what samples are used for, do patients have any control over what samples are used for, etc open ended questions to spark conversation #btsm #brainamerica @brianamerica |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @brainamerica @BrianAmerica Also curious to know more about the race and ethnicity make up of the sample. @TheLizArmy sent @adamhayden and I this article last week re: race and brain cancer. https://t.co/qxWWdC9CwT #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @lisaoleary524 @adamhayden @CBlotner_ @gliomaregistry I'll be right next to @mrsadamhayden and @lisaoleary524 (and I'm guessing @CBlotner_ as well). #BTSM |
| Lisa O'Leary @lisaoleary524 @CBlotner_ Honestly Charlie I didn't even know that was a thing when Patrick was dx. We were offered standard of care, no options, told must be done immediately. I didn't know to ask anything different. #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @MLCotcher Totally. Don't forget to tack #btsm on to the end of your tweets so that everyone can see them! |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry Dr. Claus: What does "NCF" mean? #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Neurocognitive Function= NCF (memory, word finding, ability to think, multitask) #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @TheLizArmy @adamhayden @lisaoleary524 @gliomaregistry With that, I continue to wonder what the increments of "long term" will be measured as as we move forward, and time from diagnosis to death increased (hopefully exponentially!). #btsm |
 | TeamCatherine @TeamCatherine1 RT @GBM_WARRIOR: I personally love more than a few. #love #fighter #HOPE #BTSM #GRAY #advocacy #people #graymatters365 #cure #Cancer #Change #brain https://t.co/EtT2JufXzE |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry Excellent question! The study has been approved by the Yale University School of Medicine Institutional Review Board (IRB). /1 #BTSM - FYI-An IRB monitors the safety and privacy precautions for all studies done at Yale. /2 #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry Dr. Claus: How do you think the registry will impact work being done in GBM? And is there a similar registry for people with GBM? #btsm #glioblastoma |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry The study has been approved by the Yale University School of Medicine Institutional Review Board (IRB). /1 #BTSM #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @lisaoleary524 Absolutely. The only reason I knew to research proton beam radiation, brain mapping, etc. was bc I had nearly 5 years from initial diagnosis to growth that demanded surgical action. I'd assume that that's a very atypical narrative. i've never met anyone else with the same. #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @adamhayden Shucks. #btsm https://t.co/7wjJTQVOiu |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm We ask patients for written consent, a pathology report and to complete an online questionnaire. We also ask for a saliva sample (via mail)./2 #BTSM |

| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @adamhayden @brainamerica @BrianAmerica @TheLizArmy Oops! The 🧠🤓 trust - back at it again. #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm Not sure if this went thru so will resend-LGGer's are young (average age at diagnosis is 41 years) and in the prime of life-working, driving, planning families, taking care of self and others-maintaining QOL and NCF extremely important #BTSM |

| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica #brainamerica @brainamerica my question earlier was, how much control do patients have regarding what studies their samples go to. or is this registry just for one study (or study group) #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy Ppl living with low grade glioma (slower growing brain cancers) have the luxury of time to devote to learning as much as possible about our disease. Other than medication "compliance," knowledge is the only sense of control we have over our unfortunate circumstances. #btsm https://t.co/BKxY162RKf |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm and yes International-want to make it open to everyone including areas not traditionally covered-we have participants from Belarus, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, France, Great Britain and Turkey so far... |
| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica adam . yeah @ symbols are good. want to promote the group #btsm |
| Debi Cirasole @DebiCasserole @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry I'm hoping any progress made toward LGG treatments could stop progression/GBM. #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry I am registered in the @gliomaregistry. Getting access to my pathology and surgical reports was very hard. I don't have native access to this info in my patient portal. #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm Who here knows what a “clinical trial of exercise” is? #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @brainamerica I find starting the questions with "Dr. Claus" is hitting her radar. #BTSM |
| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica not sure if this went through. apologies if redundant who has access to study samples., who decides what samples are used for, do patients have any control over what samples are used for, etc open ended questions to spark conversation #btsm |
 | Jeff Cee @jeff_ccc @BTSMchat Sorry, late to the party... #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm A clinical trial of exercise means examining the association between exercise and quality of life, fitness, fatigue & neurocognition. #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm Exercise is defined as at least 150min per week of moderate intensity activity (brisk walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc.) #BTSM |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ @gliomaregistry I'll try to make the registry known in Germany #deutschehirntumorhilfe e.V. (https://t.co/N9vtjkB6Pp) #btsm. Unfortunately, they lag behind when it comes to social media. |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @jeff_ccc @BTSMchat Hey Jeff! Great to see you. You aren't too late. #BTSM |
 | AP @radonconeuro RT @gliomaregistry: Not sure if this went thru so will resend-LGGer's are young (average age at diagnosis is 41 years) and in the prime of life-working, driving, planning families, taking care of self and others-maintaining QOL and NCF extremely important #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm responding to questions re mailings-we pay the cost to and from for US participants and to patients in non US locations-generally costs the patient about 2-8$ US to send back to us #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry If funding was obtained for a clinical trial of exercise, would LGG patients be interested? What would your questions be about participating? #BTSM #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @brainamerica Great question. Since I am a participant in the @gliomaregistry, I know from my experience that no tumor tissue was asked for as part of the study. Just surgical/pathology reports, and a saliva sample. #btsm |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ RT @gliomaregistry: #btsm responding to questions re mailings-we pay the cost to and from for US participants and to patients in non US locations-generally costs the patient about 2-8$ US to send back to us #BTSM |
| Jeff Cee @jeff_ccc @BTSMchat Jeff here from Vancouver, Canada. Had #glioblastoma surgery on 2017.05.01. Ran my #PersonalBest record of 47m20s at this morning's @westvanrun #WestVanRun10K . Grateful to be #StillAlive . Thanks & appreciation to @BCCancer & @bccancerfdn #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry Dr. Claus: Will patients participating in the study be notified about the outcomes/results and research generated from our participation? #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm what questions do LGG patients think are important to address? |
 | Carolyn Pointer @CarolynAPointer @CBlotner_ I didn’t see any, but I was looking at long term survival and progression free survival data. Then again, nobody asked me what QOL I wanted when I said “I want to watch my young kids grow up.” #btsm |
 | ScottyBueno @heypunko Late, as usual #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @jeff_ccc @BTSMchat @westvanrun @BCCancer @bccancerfdn Overachiever! ... But no really, congrats. That is fantastic! #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @heypunko Never too late to join! Welcome, Scott. #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry I would be interested in getting involved with that exercise trial. I am a big fan of participating in research. I don't mind sharing my data if it helps others. #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry The question I have about the clinical trial of exercise: Will patients participating in the study be notified about the outcomes/results and research generated from our participation? #btsm |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry Same here - willing to share pretty much anything if it'll help future patients. BUT, it's important for me to be able to see the results of the study and work being done. #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @heypunko Hey Scott! Better late than never. #btsm |
| Matt Cotcher @MLCotcher @BTSMchat @gliomaregistry I recommend that @gliomaregistry make some of the FAQ-type information (What is an LGG? etc) easily accessible on the website. Let patients self-filter themselves out of the study, and save time and money for what's needed. #BTSM |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm Thanks so much for joining the #BTSM tweet chat tonight! We have just a few minutes left, please take a second to share some closing thoughts for tonight #BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy RT @CBlotner_: @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry Same here - willing to share pretty much anything if it'll help future patients. BUT, it's important for me to be able to see the results of the study and work being done. #btsm |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ RT @gliomaregistry: #btsm what questions do LGG patients think are important to address? |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm just seeing some tweets Question for folks: What would you consider to be some barriers to enrolling in the LGG Registry? How might @gliomaregistry be able to help mitigate them? |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm we have staff available to help perform the questionnaire over the phone if they do not have a computer or are not able to use a computer and we have patient associates who will help interested perosns join |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm contact us at glioma@yale.edu and we will figure out a way to help!!#BTSM |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @MLCotcher @BTSMchat @gliomaregistry I agree w/ @MLCotcher. The LGG website could have more of the basics involved. Many people are familiar with the acronym GBM, but LGG is pretty unheard of unless you hang out in the research space. #BTSM |
| Dr. rer. pol.Sabine Schwab @Sabine_NJ @gliomaregistry I'm not a LGG patient, but if I was, I wanted to know what I can do to prolong time between LGG diagnosis and recurrence with possible higher grade. #btsm |
| Low Grade Glioma Registry @gliomaregistry #btsm I'll try to make the registry known in Germany #deutschehirntumorhilfe e.V. (https://t.co/W0QrqfpNpU ) #btsm. Unfortunately, they lag behind when it comes to social media. THANK YOU!!! |
| Charlie Blotner @CBlotner_ @gliomaregistry Is the population examined sectioned off by age and gender identity, or will all LGG patients be grouped together given tumor type? (a 21 year old cisgender male might have different baseline physical activity and interest levels than a 35 year old transgender woman) #btsm |
| Carolyn Pointer @CarolynAPointer @BTSMchat Being an active and participating mom and wife - playing with my kids on the floor... #btsm |
| The Brain Institute of America @brainamerica i saw mention of exercise and LGG see https://t.co/Cao1XqU9u8 for a paper on the topic #btsm |
| Liz Salmi @TheLizArmy @gliomaregistry Barriers to registering in the study: ✔️ I don't have easy access to my pathology reports ✔️ I don't have easy access to my surgical reports ✔️ When I asked my medical team for this information they offered to FAX this to me (like it's 1992) #BTSM https://t.co/wYPqk3TjQ5 |
