A new study from Kenneth Offit, MD, Chief of the Clinical Genetics Service and Robert and Kate Niehaus Chair in Inherited Cancer Genomics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), finds that more than half of inherited cancer gene mutations in people with advanced cancer are not detected using traditional methods based on family history.
Although distraction osteogenesis is commonly employed in regular orthopedic surgery, its use in cancer patients is currently limited. But research shows that these durable reconstructions can provide superior opportunities for better long-term limb function and growth in this cohort.
Nearly 400 adults and children have received umbilical cord blood transplants at MSK. These transplants offer the best chance of a cure for blood cancer in patients who are unable to find a matched donor, often due to their non-European ancestry.

Learn why surgery is still a good option for older patients with early-stage lung cancer.
New MSK research investigates harnessing the power of ferroptosis to spread cell death; reports how an MSK artificial intelligence (AI) model could help improve patient safety; and uses AI to reveal country-specific drivers of global cancer outcomes.
MSK researchers have developed a new open-source computational method, dubbed Spectra, which improves the analysis of single-cell transcriptomic data — and made it freely available to researchers around the world.
The high-resolution views provided by cryo-electron microscopy are helping scientists learn how proteins and DNA collaborate to repair broken DNA.
Dr. Craig Thompson, Dr. Peter Bach, Dr. Ushma Neill, and Dr. William Rosa were recognized for their professional, civic, and philanthropic achievements.
The May 13 installment of “MSK Science Spotlight” will feature co-winner of The Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering Prize, Carl June, MD.
