Some children enjoy playing with blocks, dolls, and toy cars. Dr. Ying Liu, a gynecologic medical oncologist and attending in the Clinical Genetics Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering, was fascinated by the test tubes in her mother’s laboratory. Dr. Liu didn’t know it then, but holding those sleek glass cylinders was the same as looking into a crystal ball.
A multi-institutional study led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) shows that patients whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and who received chemotherapy directly to the liver through a pump in the abdomen (an approach called Hepatic Arterial Infusion or HAI) fare better than those who received systemic (intravenously administered) chemotherapy.
Almost three-fourths of pediatric cancer survivors will have a chronic health problem within 30 years after the cancer diagnosis, with 40 percent experiencing a serious, life-threatening, disabling, or fatal condition, according to investigators from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and other institutions.
A team of researchers led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and collaborators at Emory University are shedding new light on deadly fungal infections that develop in bone marrow transplant patients.
Research has shown that quitting tobacco use immediately improves health and that tobacco treatment programs make it easier to quit than going it alone.
La investigación ha demostrado que dejar el consumo de tabaco mejora la salud de inmediato y que los programas de tratamiento del tabaquismo facilitan dejarlo más que intentarlo por su cuenta.
Symantha Wilson was crushed when chemotherapy quit fighting her lymphoma — and thrilled when immuno¬therapy beat back the cancer. But why doesn’t immunotherapy help more people? MSK researchers are finding answers.
More sugar available for immune cells could mean better immune responses against cancer.
Like all researchers, nurse scientists design studies, accumulate data, and publish their findings. Their concentration in nursing means that they’re focused on patient needs, perspectives, and outcomes. Whereas a medical doctor might study how a drug is working, a nurse scientist may take a more holistic view of how a treatment affects a patient’s and their family’s quality of life.
Researchers MSK and their collaborators at Mount Sinai have developed an artificial intelligence-based model to predict who will benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors using only routine blood tests and clinical data.
