New Research Shows How Cancer Rewires a Key Immune Pathway To Spread

A collaboration between MSK and Weill Cornell Medicine discovered a new relationship between cancer cells and the immune system, and shows how cancer can selfishly hijack a normally helpful immune pathway.

MSK Research Highlights, October 31, 2023

New MSK research identifies a promising immunotherapy target for acute myeloid leukemia; decodes genetic differences in tumors from patients with African ancestry; and finds a virtual mind-body fitness program reduced hospitalizations for those in active cancer treatment. A clinical trial led by MSK also resulted in the approval of a new combination therapy for non-small cell lung cancer.
Sloan Kettering Institute Researchers Look Beyond DNA to Identify Cancer Drivers

Researchers at the Sloan Kettering Institute have found that changes in an information-carrying molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA) can inactivate the functions of tumor suppressor genes and thereby promote cancer. The findings pinpoint previously unknown drivers of the disease, indicating that cancer diagnostics need to go beyond the analysis of DNA mutations.

MSK Research Highlights, November 6, 2024

New MSK research marks a potential advance against RAS-driven cancers; breaks down data silos to better predict cancer outcomes with the help of artificial intelligence (AI); identifies two enzymes vital for maintaining brain health; uncovers how changes to “helper” proteins drive cancer cell survival; develops a new model for investigating lung cancer metastasis; and uses AI to improve outcome predictions in sarcoma.
