A team of scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute has identified the STING cellular signaling pathway as a key player in keeping dormant cancer cells from progressing into aggressive tumors months, or even years, after they’ve escaped from a primary tumor.
An innovative technique called stereotactic hypofractionated accelerated radiation to the prostate – aka SHARP - safely and effectively delivers powerful doses of radiation directly to the patient’s tumor with incredible precision.
New MSK research showed giving chemotherapy shortly after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant from a less than perfectly matched donor greatly reduces the chances that the patient will develop graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); and sheds new light on cell state changes in prostate cancer.
Recent data from Memorial Sloan Kettering shows that a real-time breast ultrasound exam after second opinion review of outside, static breast ultrasound images led to a change in the initially prescribed management in 32.5 percent of included patients.
