Our atlas of young-onset CRC is finally out in @NatureMedicine! We found a unique biology in younger patients that may explain the aggressive nature of this disease. This was a monumental effort with colleagues at @MassGenBrigham and @broadinstitute. @DFarberYoungCRC
Researchers co-led by @KimmieNgMD of @DanaFarber and @DFarberYoungCRC created the largest single-cell atlas of colorectal cancer ever, identifying age-associated differences that may help research into why #colorectalcancer can be more aggressive in younger adults. ➡️bit.ly/4kmBFEl

Hey, @TimothyJBrownMD, can an F-150 do this?
Tesla unveiled a redesigned Roadster equipped with thrusters that enable it to fly short distances, nearly nine years after it first showed a next-generation version of its electric sports car, and said it would start production in 2028 reut.rs/4zt7Q9A

Geographical access to clinical trials remains the number one barrier to enrollment. Look forward to hearing how technology-enabled services are being used by sites to improve access to cancer trials. #ascoqlty26
Growing excitement for the @ASCO Quality Care Symposium (#ASCOQLTY26) this week! Nice overview of one of the studies on Decentralizing Clinical Trials being presented at the meeting: dailynews.ascopubs.org/do/de… @JamesFanWu @crisbergerot @ShaalanBeg #CancerResearch #ClinicalTrials

Getting ready to present the phase II GRECO-2 trial Tuesday at #ASTRO26. Can’t stop thinking of you, @TaniguchiMD. There is no way I can represent the purple hair like you did, but I’ll do my best to represent the SOD story. Missing you, brother. RIP.

⭐️🚨Just published 👉🏼Pleased to share our standout new review 👉🏼published in @TheLancet @eClinicalMed 👉🏼led by 3 amazing rising stars ⭐️ @JiaJennyLiu @niamhjcoleman @JulianaRBeal 👉🏼“Tumour‑agnostic immunotherapy: aligning biological rationale, biomarker precision, and real‑world implementation.” 👉🏼 Tumour‑agnostic immunotherapy has reshaped precision oncology by showing that, in selected settings, treatment benefit can be driven by a shared biological state rather than anatomical origin. The clearest example: MSI‑H/dMMR cancers, where durable responses span diverse malignancies. ⭐️Such a delight to work with & mentor this dream team 👉🏼their clarity, rigor, and vision shine through every section 🎯🔥 @OncoAlert @oncodaily @OncBrothers thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

🚨Another big win for #precisionmedicine 🚨👉🏼Today the FDA approved lirafugratinib for FGFR2‑rearranged cholangiocarcinoma. ⭐️I still remember the first patient in the universe we enrolled on the trial during the peak of the pandemic. Three days in - I called the amazing Ben- the then CMO of @Relay_Tx “Your drug is working, working too good. We need to work on the right dosing & get it right for patients. I think this baby will graduate someday.” That day is today 🙌🏼 Thankful to all patients who volunteered & the amazing teams that got this to finish line 🙏🏽 !!! @OncoAlert @oncodaily @OncBrothers @ElizSMcKenna @matthewherper @curecc @Aiims1742 @MiteshBorad @AliSchram 👉🏼Link to FDA approval fda.gov/drugs/resources-info… 👉🏼Link to @CD_AACR @AACR bench to bedside publication aacrjournals.org/cancerdisco…

We are witnessing the most exciting period of drug development in oncology. There's a lot of discussion on the FDA's Accelerated Approval pathway. Who should be eligible to receive AA? When should approvals be withdrawn? We tackle this #onlyoncologistsinthebuilding 🔎🔎🕵🏻‍♂️

New PDAC NCCN guidelines published 9/11/26, daraxonrasib updates posted below. No surprise for the category 1 recommendation in the 2L. Also includes options in progressive locally advanced disease, metastatic recurrence, and 1L mgmt of ECOG 2 and ECOG 3 populations.

Replying to @NCCN
@NCCN please rapidly update the #pancreaticcancer guidelines. Insurance company AI denying patients Daraxonrasib and recommending I try gem/erlotinib first. Probably because it remains on guidelines for a 2 week survival advantage! I hope the guidelines will consider removing
