Carl Granum tells the story of his diagnosis and treatment for a desmoplastic small round cell tumor, a type of sarcoma that typically begins in the abdomen or pelvis.

… Friday, January 19, 2018 Summary Carl Granum was a college athlete in Iowa when he was diagnosed with a desmoplastic small round cell tumor , a type of sarcoma that typically begins in the abdomen or pelvis. In general, sarcomas are cancers in bones, muscles, and connective tissue throughout the body

— Researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have shown early promising results in using a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy that targets the protein mesothelin, which is expressed on the surface of cancer cells in patients with diseases of the chest cavity — namely malignant pleural mesothelioma but also metastatic lung and breast cancer. The results from a phase I clinical trial were presented as part of the press program at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2019. The findings showed tumor reduction in patients who participated in the study and no evidence of toxicity.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted full approval to the drug tarlatamab, a bispecific T cell engager, for small cell lung cancer, based on results from a phase 3 clinical trial led by Dr. Charles Rudin at MSK.

… Thursday, November 20, 2025 On November 19, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)  granted full approval  to the targeted immunotherapy drug  tarlatamab (Imdelltra ® )  for treating adults with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has spread after platinum-based chemotherapy. The approval

In a plenary presentation at the 2024 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, Dr. Dana Pe’er highlighted three recent research collaborations between her lab and other labs at MSK that have shed new light on the ability of cancer cells to adapt and spread.

… Tuesday, April 9, 2024 About 90% of deaths from cancer are a result of metastasis — that is, from cancer’s ability to spread from an initial primary tumor to seed new tumors throughout the body, often in the lungs, liver, and brain. And metastasis relies on cancer cells’ ability to adapt to different

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today the authorization of MSK-IMPACT™ (which stands for integrated mutation profiling of actionable cancer targets), a high throughput, targeted-DNA-sequencing panel for somatic mutations. Created by the Department of Pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), MSK-IMPACT is a 468-gene oncopanel intended to detect gene mutations and other critical genetic aberrations in both rare and common cancers.

For the first time, a targeted drug is showing promise at treating non-small cell lung cancer caused by a mutation called KRAS-G12D.

… Sunday, April 27, 2025 For decades, cancers with mutations in the gene  KRAS (KAY-ras) were considered “undruggable.”  KRAS  mutations are found in more than 20% of cancers. They are most common in  lung cancer ,  pancreatic cancer , and  colorectal cancer . Nearly four years ago, the first drug was
