📅 Upcoming Events from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 📅 The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is hosting key events, including a webinar on October 8 featuring Drs. Cari Kitahara and Choonsik Lee discussing the NCI Pediatric Proton and Photon Therapy Comparison Cohort. Additionally, the Cancer Research Data Commons Fall Symposium will take place on October 16-17, focusing on NCI’s AI Data Readiness Initiative and a collaboration with ARPA-H to develop a Biomedical Data Fabric Toolbox. These events present valuable opportunities for engagement in cancer research advancements. https://lnkd.in/eWCgATiB #CancerResearch #OncoDaily #Oncology #Cancer #Health #Medicine

Ying Liu, MD, MPH, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, was awarded the FWC 2023-2024 Wilma Williams Education and Clinical Research Grant for Endometrial Cancer at this year's Society of Gynecologic Oncology Annual Meeting. In this interview, Dr. Liu elaborates on potential advancements in gynecologic cancer research, including her research that aims to utilize the microbiome and changes in therapies to identify women who would benefit most from additional treatments. #AAPIMonth #NationalCancerResearchMonth

Today is World Cancer Research Day — a reminder of the critical role research plays in transforming lives. At Breast Cancer Canada, we are dedicated to driving progress, working to improve patient outcomes and save lives. Every advancement we make is made possible by science and the support from donors like you. Together, we are moving closer to a future where breast cancer is managed with the least invasive and most effective personalized treatments.

Peter Mac Associate Professor Shom Goel has won a USD $3 million (AUD $4.5 million) United States Department of Defense grant for his research into developing the next revolution in breast #cancer treatment. Associate Professor Goel is the first Australian scientist to receive the Era of Hope Scholar Award which supports individuals early in their careers who have demonstrated significant potential to effect meaningful change in breast cancer. His research will focus on addressing a critical knowledge gap on senescent cancer cells – a specific type of “dormant” cell state - and develop therapies that can successfully target or kill these cells, which has the potential to dramatically reduce breast cancer mortality.

As #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth begins, two UCF College of Medicine cancer researchers have received grants worth $100,000 each to support their innovative breast cancer treatments. Dr. Alicja Copik's research arms the body's Natural Killer cells, beefing up their ability to fight cancer, while being much easier on patients than debilitating chemotherapy. Dr. Deborah Altomare has a wealth of knowledge in cancer biology, and is using that to study the cellular pathways that can signal cancer cells to grow or help immunity cells better fight the disease. Both researchers are using this funding to bring their research to the next level to fight breast cancer. Read more: https://loom.ly/vEQ6UMA

The B-cell atlas it out and we made the cover! It was great being part of this project. In this paper we show the interactions between intratumoral B cells with immune checkpoint blockade responses and build an interactive tool to explore B cell subsets

Exciting Breakthrough in Breast Cancer Research! 🔬 The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center's latest discovery could change the game for those battling HER2-positive breast cancer. Researchers have identified a protein, p47, that might play a crucial role in preventing the spread of this aggressive cancer type. By focusing on enhancing the body's natural defenses through p47, we're looking at potential new therapeutic strategies that deviate from traditional treatments. This is more than just promising news; it's a beacon of hope that shows how far we've come in understanding and potentially controlling cancer's progression. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking research! https://ow.ly/gHWj50R7zxX #BreastCancerAwareness #CancerResearch #HER2Positive #ScienceNews #MedicalBreakthrough

Hey Connections!!!!! Recently, I participated in an enlightening online webinar organized by DrOmics labs Private Limited. that focused on breast cancer. The workshop provided a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in research, diagnostic techniques, and treatment modalities related to this prevalent and impactful disease. Dr. Omics Lab's experts shared valuable insights into the molecular aspects of breast cancer, shedding light on promising avenues for early detection and personalized therapies. The interactive sessions facilitated engaging discussions, allowing participants to delve into the complexities of breast cancer and explore potential breakthroughs. Overall, the workshop proved to be a valuable resource, enhancing my understanding of current developments in the field and emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts in the fight against breast cancer. #breastcancerresearch #NGSinsights #onlineworkshop #breastcancerawareness

#cancer #metastasis https://lnkd.in/eCmPeTms Metastatic cancer represents the main cause of death in patients with cancer. However, basic and translational research is hampered by the limited availability of metastatic samples. In this context, post-mortem #tissue #donation programmes represent a complementary and attractive solution. Here, we highlight the opportunities and challenges, and outline why we believe this represents a global effort.

🎙️ PCE had the privilege of meeting Professor Costello-Goldring Eithne, an esteemed figure in the field of Molecular Oncology at the Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine, University of Liverpool, UK. Within the university, she has successfully established and led her research group, passionately dedicated to advancing our understanding of pancreatic cancer, particularly with a keen emphasis on early diagnosis. 📽 Watch the video on Youtube / Pancreatic Cancer Europe: https://lnkd.in/gPVRdzMa #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcancerawareness #pancreaticcancerresearch
