Dr. Peter Ch’en, MD, MPH 🎓🩺
Thank you @einsteinmededu.bsky.social for the experience of a lifetime - I’ll keep the lessons from the BX close.
Catch me as a dermatologist *soon*! Back to Seattle @uwdermatology.bsky.social I go.
To my community who kept me going - we did this together. Thank you.
Get those blood tests (AMERK and ctDNA) going for MCC patients! Super helpful for surveillance and early recurrence detection, and provides a lot of peace of mind for both patients and clinicians.

In this cohort study of Merkel cell #carcinoma patients, a falling or negative titer indicated a 99.3% chance of remaining recurrence-free over 3 months, while a rising oncoprotein antibody titer suggested a 58% risk of recurrence by 12 months. ja.ma/4rifJeA
