Exciting new cancer drug kinder than chemotherapy bbc.in/48WUxRC

Great to see a kinder, less toxic treatment option available for some children with B-ALL. Blinatumomab has less side effects than standard chemotherapy and is fully portable, meaning it can be given on the go and patients spend less time in hospital. 👏 bbc.co.uk/news/health-67…

Great publicity this am bbc.co.uk/news/health-67… from our Journal of Clinical Oncology paper (tinyurl.com/3xmm65yh) 🫵Blina is safe+effective chemo-replacement for chemo-intolerant children ❓Now how should Blina be used for all children with B-ALL?

Featuring our very own Dr Sujith Samarasinghe!

Pilot data supporting a role for maintenance chemotherapy following early B cell recovery after CART for B-ALL in transplant ineligible patients. Needs longer follow up and prospective study. Thanks to Maria Gabelli and macamoe

Job Alert! We have a 3yr post doc job available in my lab at the UCL Cancer Institute London UCL Cancer Institute UCL Cancer Domain ECN funded by Cancer Research UK looking at how noncoding mutations form oncogenic enhancers in T-ALL. nature.com/naturecareers/…

Goodbye multi-header microscope, over 25 years of service in Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children Haematology lab. Countless lives saved, diagnoses made and educated thousands. You never complained once. Happy retirement. 🩸🔬

Many thanks to Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity for funding this project. We are a team of clinicians, parents, scientists and data analysts working together #TeamScience. Jack Bartram Tom Milne Andrew Blake OxfordOncology and many more collaborators. Can’t wait to get started

CONGRESS #EHA2024 | Sujith Samarasinghe Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children shares initial findings from the phase II ALLTogether1 DS trial evaluating blinatumomab as chemotherapy-replacement for children and young adults with Down Syndrome B-cell ALL (N=33). The primary endpoint was met, with 91%

New research via NHS Genomic Medicine Service showing WGS can improve the care of children with cancer. A great example of using innovative technology to inform individualised care, and of what we can achieve together for patients with WGS as a part of public healthcare nature.com/articles/s4159…

A powerful example in Nature Medicine of how whole genome sequencing can improve clinical care in paediatric oncology and inform individualised medicine for children with cancer Ångus Hodder @SarahLeiter Jack Bartram Aditi Vedi and teams @CRUKCamPaeds NHS Genomic Medicine Service

Heard of whole genome sequencing? Thanks to a national initiative, it's available to all children diagnosed with cancer in England. Our latest study shows that it can guide on treatment plans for children and reduce the number of tests they need. gosh.nhs.uk/news/world-fir…

'Genome sequencing gives information about the genome that may be shared with other family members.' Ångus Hodder discusses the child cancer breakthrough research that can help doctors know 'if they need to monitor children and families' #SJUK trib.al/1DqoA75 📺Sky 501

Thank you to all the patients and families involved in this pivotal study which proves the real time, real world evidence for the benefit of whole genome sequence in childhood cancer.
