#Lungcancer can co-opt genes that normally help a fetus develop and evade the mother’s immune system, according to research from Dr. Jung Hun Oh, an associate attending computer scientist in MSK’s Department of Medical Physics, and colleagues. And while these pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) can get activated in the cancers of both men and women, female patients had poorer outcomes. The analysis suggests targeting these genes might improve survival in female patients with lung cancer. Learn more about Dr. Oh's research: bit.ly/4kLUZsb

A study from researchers at MSK and @WeillCornell offers insight into how cancers evolve when they metastasize. The team — led by MSK's @lucmorrisnyc and Dr. Chaitanya Bandlamudi, and Dr. Kathy Zhou of Weill Cornell Medicine — examined the genomic profiles of more than 3,700 patients across 24 cancer types who had multiple tumor sites biopsied over time. The team’s findings, which were published in @NatureGenet, could help inform developing newer strategies to improve the effectiveness of treatment for metastatic cancer. Learn more: bit.ly/4dWB4UN

🚨 New research from MSK and @WeillCornell shows that BCG, the first FDA-approved cancer #immunotherapy, doesn't just act locally in the bladder. It travels to the bone marrow, where it reprograms and amplifies immune stem cells, boosting the body’s ability to fight cancer more broadly. The study, which was published in @Cancer_Cell and co-led by Dr. Michael Glickman, offers insight into how BCG strengthens innate immunity and points to strategies for improving immunotherapy.

In a new study published in @CellPressNews, researchers from MSK and @fredhutch show that it may be possible to develop an #immunotherapy-based approach for #AcuteMyeloidLeukemia and #myelodysplastic syndrome. “This is a potential breakthrough,” says Dr. Omar Abdel-Wahab. “We’re targeting a fundamental driver of these cancers that has been notoriously difficult to treat with conventional therapies.” Learn more: bit.ly/4kxW325

New results from a phase 1 clinical trial of the messenger RNA (#mRNA)-based therapeutic cancer vaccine autogene cevumeran are now published in the journal @Nature. The experimental approach to treating #pancreaticcancer continues to show potential to stimulate an immune response that may reduce the risk of the disease returning after surgery in some patients.
