Cancer doesn’t grow in isolationNeither should our treatment.The science is changing how we think about cancer care.Did you know that greater physical activity after a breast cancer diagnosis has been associated with an approximately 40% lower risk of dying from breast cancer?Exercise IS also medicine!Nutrition is also medicine.Sleep matters.Now our care models need to change too.Let’s build the evidence. Let’s build the systems. Let’s make sure we treat the whole person, not just the tumor.I brought together Dr. Neil Iyengar, Arianna Huffington, and Chris Boerner to explore the biology, the behavior change, and what healthcare must do next.Full short film in bio. ❤️#BeyondTheTumor #DoctoRxUnscripted #PatientDrivenScience #CancerCare by @drtaniasmallmd

The human cost of Multiple Myeloma is undeniable. Mariska Hargitay lost her father to it 20 years ago. And while much has changed since then, the pain of that loss and the urgency to keep pushing forward has not.These realities are what drive our science.At @bristolmyerssquibb, we’ve never stopped investigating multiple myeloma. We have our best researchers on the case - investigating new approaches like CELMoD research and working to challenge the very biology of myeloma. Mariska’s story and so many like hers keeps us going.For every patient and family, hope means the investigation never stops.See what we’re looking into: InvestigatingMyeloma.com#patientdrivenscience #BMS_employee #BMSproud #MultipleMyeloma #BloodCancer #MyelomaResearch #CancerResearch by @drtaniasmallmd

New data show a structured exercise program was associated with a 37% lower risk of death in patients with colon cancer.The question is no longer whether lifestyle influences outcomes.The question is how we implement it.#asco2026 #PrecisionLifestyleMedicine #patientdrivenscience #whatsnewinoncology by @drtaniasmallmd

Last night held so much space in my heart.Family. Friends. Colleagues. Leaders. Patients. Advocates. Community.All in one room because we shared one truth: cancer is not something anyone should have to carry alone.Ubuntu: I am because we are.That is what Hope Lodge makes real- a place to rest, breathe, be held, and know: we are not alone.Thank you to the @hopelodgebashnyc @hopelodgenyc my @bristolmyerssquibb family, my ACS NYC Board of Advisors family, and my own family - my foundation, my fire, my reason.Hope is what we do for each other. 💜. #patientdrivenscience #hopelodgenyc #americancancersociety #hopeinaction #ubuntu by @drtaniasmallmd

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫?Every one of us has a person.Someone we’ve lost. Someone we’re afraid to lose.That is the truth behind every clinical trial, every drug approval, every late night in the lab, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵.Today - 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲 - the call is simple: 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑺𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆.I’ll say it even more directly:𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐎𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝.We are all human. We are all fragile. That’s our common ground.So I’m asking you: 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑾𝑯𝒀?Mine is every patient who ever left an imprint on my heart.#WorldHealthDay #standwithscience #doctorxunscripted #patientdrivenscience by @drtaniasmallmd

Honored to join the third annual USA TODAY x BlackDoctor Summit -a room full of people who 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒆 settle and let healthcare stay the way it is. Progress isn’t 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 defined by what we discover. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬.Because what good is innovation if it’s not reaching the people who have the disease?Grateful to USA Today and BlackDoctor for creating space for this conversation. 🙏🏾𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌!#patientdrivenscience #blackdoctororg #usatoday #doctorxunscripted by @drtaniasmallmd

1 in 500 people have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. But missed 80% of the time. Even elite athletes. Today, on #HCMawarenessDay, we’re sharing a powerful dialogue about recognition, risk, innovation, and returning safely to life - and sport. HCM is common. Often missed. But it no longer has to define a life. If you’ve ever experienced unexplained fainting, a murmur, or have a family history of sudden cardiac death - this matters. Awareness changes outcomes.#HCM #nfl #PatientDrivenScience #doctorxunscripted by @drtaniasmallmd

Myeloma is evolving from a fatal disease to one we may be able to control for decades. The science is accelerating, with MRD-driven innovation, emerging immune therapies, better sequencing, and a deeper understanding of biology opening the door to more durable remissions and real hope for functional cures. Join us for a thoughtful and practical conversation with three global leaders on where the field is headed. Listen at the link in bio.#patientdrivencare#myeloma#oncologyeducation by @drtaniasmallmd
