MSK Research Highlights, December 18, 2024 New MSK research uncovers clues about how cells control a key DNA repair protein; develops a new method for studying gene amplifications in cancer; sheds new light on tumor suppressor genes; shows MSK...

A new study by Michael Gormally, @adamjschoenfeld.bsky.social, & team investigated whether HLA genotypes could be determined using information captured through MSK’s next-generation sequencing test MSK-IMPACT®. Learn more ⬇️ www.mskcc.org/news/msk-res...

Next-Generation Sequencing for HLA Genotype Screening and Matching to HLA-Restricted Therapies This case series evaluates whether human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotype could be inferred from standard next-generation sequencing, comparing concordance with confirmatory whole-exome sequencing and...

As we explore more and more HLA-specific immune based therapies, this from MSK in JAMA Onc shows that standard NGS testing can infer HLA genotypes. Other NGS providers have done/can do @adamjschoenfeld.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @davidaggen.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Graphic showing an increase in 5-year lung cancer survival rates by 22% from 2015 to 2019. Features silhouette figures representing people, with Lung Cancer Research Foundation logo and website LCRF.org/LCAM.

#LungCancer survival rates rose 22% from 2015 to 2019. While promising, we want to see those numbers go much higher…while we're at it, let's shoot for 10, 15, 20 or more years. Learn how you can make an impact this Lung Cancer Awareness Month: buff.ly/4eDVXTo. #LCAM2024

Thrilled to share our article this Thanksgiving Eve! 🍂 With the rapid expansion of HLA-restricted therapies, we show HLA genotyping via NGS is accurate, streamlines cancer care, boosts trial access, and may reduce disparities. Embedding it in routine panels is key! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Medical oncologist Santosha Vardhana says to keep asking questions about observations that can’t be explained How technological advancements will lead to a more accessible future for science, according to Dr. Vardhana.

From Susan

As we embark on Thanksgiving week I want to take a moment to reflect on this year and my family. Unfortunately I lost my sister to lung cancer in August.

Starting the week in NYC with nuns on bikes!

I know many other have done these but I’ve collected almost 100 people and my personal list is hard to share.

Thanks for making. Any chance you can add me 🙏

Starting a list of oncology related peopl. Please tell me more to add. Or any similar listd go.bsky.app/GKXp9Fy @n8pennell.bsky.social

Thanks for making a great list. Can you add me by chance? 🙏

#Gathering24
@mskcancercenter.bsky.social reunion!

Welcome @adamjschoenfeld.bsky.social & #AlexShoushtari. Great talks on advances in cell therapy for NSCLC & melanoma, at the Gathering around Cancer in Dublin ☘️
