#AACR23
The @AACRPres Dr. Phil Greenberg makes remarks about some directions in the coming year including improving access to technology, communication with different constituencies and data science @AACR #AACR23
Great to spend time with colleagues at the @AACRPres reception @AACR #AACR23 @NeliMUlrich @JaniceM10 @DrJoannSweasy @LeonidasPlatan1 and Bob Vonderheide @PennCancer
Great chance to meet Dr. Nada Jabado, a pediatric oncologist at @mcgillu at the @AACR #AACR23 new @AACRPres reception.
Her group described histone H3.3 K27M and other mutations in glioblastomas in a 2012 Nature paper.
The TIC10/ONC201 drug discovered in #eldeirylab has clinical activity against these types of aggressive brain tumors.

There have been some exciting updates this weekend at #AACR23 on DDR and Breast Cancer‼️
So the discussion🗣️by @JenniferLitton & @marijasullivan tomorrow, 04/18/2023 at 8PM on treating early stage BRCA-mutated Breast Cancer is very timely⏲️
Vaccines could potentially eliminate cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), but many people are unaware the virus causes cervical, anal, oral, and other cancers, researchers report at the AACR annual meeting (#AACR23).

Promising news from #AACR23: Moderna's personalized mRNA cancer vaccine plus Keytuda lowered risk of recurrence or death after surgery by 44% in people with advanced melanoma.
Cancer vaccines are a fascinating area of research -- the mRNA technology used for COVID vaccines was actually first developed for cancer -- and they're likely to be much better tolerated than current cancer treatments.
