A phase 3 trial for myelofibrosis found that adding pelabresib to ruxolitinib was more effective than ruxolitinib alone and did not significantly increase side effects.

… Tuesday, April 29, 2025 An international phase 3 clinical trial of a new drug combination for treating the blood cancer  myelofibrosis found that adding a second, experimental drug to standard treatment was more effective than the standard treatment alone. Further, adding the second drug did not significantly

New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering provides fresh insight into the biologic mechanisms that individual cancer cells use to metastasize to the brain.

… Thursday, February 27, 2014 New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering provides fresh insight into the biologic mechanisms that individual cancer cells use to metastasize to the brain. Published in the February 27 issue of Cell , the study found that tumor cells that reach the brain — and successfully

A blood condition related to aging can lead to misinterpreting tumor data.

… Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Summary MSK researchers have found that clonal hematopoiesis (CH) can be misinterpreted as tumor mutations in sequencing tests. CH is a blood condition related to aging that can cause mutations in the blood. Misreading such results could affect treatment decisions. MSK-IMPACT TM

Learn about Verdun Perry’s devotion to fund rare cancer research at MSK.

… Thursday, April 1, 2021 When Verdun “Vern” Perry opened an email in 2007 from his friend Dave Linn inviting him to a Spinning fundraiser for rare cancer research, he immediately responded, “I’m in.” A few moments later, Vern wrote back, “By the way, what is Spinning?” Soon, Vern had a new purpose in

New findings provide details about the hidden organization of the cytoplasm, showing it makes a big difference where in that cellular broth that messenger RNA (mRNA) get translated into proteins. The findings hold promise for increasing or altering the production of proteins in mRNA vaccines and therapies.

… Thursday, December 21, 2023 Highlights Messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into proteins in the cytoplasm of cells. But rather than being a uniform “soup,” the cytoplasm is divided into multiple distinct compartments or regions. Each region is largely responsible for translating functionally similar types
