Today, Mayo Clinic opened the Duan Family Building, taking another step in our journey to introduce carbon ion therapy for patients in the Americas. This revolutionary treatment will enhance our ability to treat aggressive cancers. Learn more: mayocl.in/4mYTVme

Thank you Lisa Ward Tough2gether - Against DIPG for visiting Fralin Biomedical Research Institute to inspire us @ our cancer center symposium!! Thank you Dr Hasan Syed Children's National Hospital 🏥 for coming as my invited speaker for clinical experience in pediatric focused ultrasound. Excited about VT + CNH peds #FUS! #callabo

My little guy’s school had a walk for dipg and he’s been interested in it since. Fighting dipg pow pow!

Boom!💥 ⁦FDA⁩ approves neoadjuvant and adjuvant pembrolizumab for resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, ushering in a new standard of care for the first time in decades. fda.gov/drugs/resource…

The first patients have been treated in a clinical trial studying low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) as a noninvasive treatment for chronic pain. Researchers at Virginia Tech are exploring whether LIFU can safely and effectively modulate brain activity to reduce pain

Tomorrow I’m lining up for my 10th marathon start, aiming for my 8th finish, running for every child & family fighting #DIPG #DMG like mine once did #GCM25 Each step is for them.
