Researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) shared new data from a survey of members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) showing that sexual harassment and observed gender discrimination continue to be significant issues in the medical community. The results of the study found that more than 60 percent of gynecologic oncologists had experienced sexual harassment, while only 10 percent of survey respondents reported the incident. The findings were presented as part of the press program for this year’s annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).

An effective treatment may have emerged for some people with uveal melanoma, a rare cancer that forms in the eye.

… Tuesday, May 11, 2021 Uveal melanoma (also called ocular melanoma) is a cancer that forms in the eye. Although rare, this malignancy is often fatal when it spreads to other parts of the body, which happens in about half of all cases. Memorial Sloan Kettering medical oncologist Alexander Shoushtari answers

New findings from researchers at the Sloan Kettering Institute provide insight into a fundamental biological process called the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

… Wednesday, January 8, 2020 Summary Scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute have identified the molecular cues that control a fundamental biological process called the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. The results may inform the development of therapies designed to target diseases in which this

A family of drugs developed at MSK targets disrupted processes in cells in diseases related to aging.

… Thursday, March 1, 2018 Summary Cancer and Alzheimer’s are both diseases of aging. So it’s not entirely unexpected that a type of drug developed to target proteins in cells that get disrupted over time might work on both conditions. Like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease involves changes in proteins. When
