#Sarcoma patients: Dr. Michael Mann UCSF Health is going to speak on surgery for lung metastases Saturday, Sept. 12 at 10am PST (1pm EST). Register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… Although geared to #leiomyosarcoma patients, the Zoom meeting should be informative to others.

This free #sarcoma conference is starting at 11:30 Eastern time. I can't wait!

At #CTOS2020 we’re excited to introduce LIVE multidisciplinary discussions of clinical cases in GIST, Soft Tissue Sarcomas, and Bone #Sarcomas in our “Meet-the Experts” sessions. Counting down the weeks until annual!

This paper calls for more involvement of patients to understand side effects from #immunotherapy. #Sarcoma patients: Please report any problems! You're not bothering doctors & nurses. They need to know what's up.

Is it OK for a woman with uterine #leiomyosarcoma to see only a gyn oncologist? Breelyn Wilky, MD 🎗 recommended at least 1 consultation with a #sarcoma medical oncologist. She said CU Cancer Center lets women see both. (I think that should be true everywhere.) #WomenInSarcoma

Broad, Dana-Farber, and Count Me In launch research projects in two rare cancers, with focus on optimizing patient engagement; efforts aim to reveal rare cancer's genetic roots, mechanisms of drug resistance, and potential new treatment strategies. broad.io/CountMeIn021721

The Sarcoma Alliance is upping its grants from $500 to $1,000 to reimburse people who get a second opinion from a #sarcoma specialist. createsend.com/t/y-D36889D372…

The #CTOS2021 meeting will be Nov 10-13 in Vancouver. It will be virtual, but CTOS hopes to have an in-person component. Winan van Houdt is program chair, with co-chairs: Liz Demicco, @ylc2001 & Emanuela Palmerini. Abstract submission is open: abstractscorecard.com/cfp/submit/log… #sarcoma

I'm so glad the paywall has been removed from this important study by Thierry Alcindor, MD, MSc Professor DM Thomas & colleagues on global #disparities in #sarcoma. ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…

.Ohio State researchers looked at the #microbiome in #sarcoma tumors. They found microbes associated with worse survival, including ones particular to #leiomyosarcoma & dedifferentiated #liposarcoma. #ASCO21 meetinglibrary.asco.org/record/197949/…

1. Brian Van Tine's phase 2 trial of ADI-PEG20 found it can be safely & effectively given with a dose of 600mg/m2 #gemcitabine + 60mg/m2 #docetaxel to patients with soft-tissue #sarcoma. #leiomyosarcoma #ASCO21 clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03… meetinglibrary.asco.org/record/195995/

2. People with ASS1 negative tumors were the most likely to respond. "The activity is tantalizing," Dr. Bob Benjamin said. 3 people with #leiomyosarcoma got a complete response. A phase 3 trial is in development. #ASCO21 #sarcoma

Happy #Sarcoma Awareness Month! Wear your T-shirts and sunflower jewelry. Maybe we need pins that say, "Ask me about sarcoma."

Today is Leiomyosarcoma Awareness Day. Leiomyosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that affects smooth muscle tissue. Learn about pathologic findings, patterns of growth and common imaging features of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in RadioGraphics. bit.ly/2LAB2H8

There are between 50 and 100 documented subtypes of sarcoma. This makes an already rare cancer even more challenging for drug development and research. Post a picture holding a sign with your subtype so we can spread awareness about the many different subtypes. #CureSarcoma

#PatientInvolvement in #research, especially in rare diseases like sarcomes, is important! Why? Let Roger Wilson and Dr. Olga Husson explain! Watch our video and learn more here: bit.ly/3eK4qbw #SarcomaAwarenessMonth #sarcomaawareness #sarcoma Roger Wilson CBE Olga Husson

Immunotherapy works for a subset of pts with angiosarcoma. Thanks to the pts and to the overall DART leaders Razelle Kurzrock, MD Sandip Patel MD FASCO SWOG Cancer Research Network for making this study happen! Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer Fred Hutch Cancer Center @SeattleCCA
