Hope you had a great birthday. Snow this coming weekend to celebrate!!!!!

Recently published in The Lancet Haematology: Ana Baumann, PhD, researchers, and implementation scientists worked to address differences in health care transition services for patients with sickle cell disease. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

.@WashUSurgRes's Nicole Santucci, MD, MS, will be spending her research year in the lab of @WashUPedSurg Chief Colin A. Martin, MD, as part of the Clinical Research Training Center’s TL1 Translational Sciences Doctoral Program. Congratulations, Dr. Santucci!

People with one of two body shapes are at a higher risk of #ColorectalCancer, finds new research. scim.ag/6Hl

Research involving global audits of plastic pollution from 2018 to 2022 has revealed that 52% of the nearly 2 million inventoried items had no discernible branding and could not be traced back to producers. scim.ag/6Jx

Section Chief Matthew Mutch, MD, WashU Medicine Division of Public Health Sciences's Adetunji Toriola, MD, PhD, MPH, and international colleagues compared quality of life between young adult and older colorectal cancer survivors in the ColoCare study.

The Cancer Screening Research Network investigates how to identify cancers earlier. The Uniformed Services University and the Veterans Affairs, along with several NCI-supported institutions, will evaluate emerging technologies for cancer screening. go.nih.gov/V9Q8H3z #NCRM24 #CancerMoonshot

Wonderful to have another paper from the breast precancer atlas out! Data suggest different molecular mechanisms drive initiation and subsequent ipsilateral breast events in Black vs. White women.

ACCERT Center funded by NCI. Our Division – working closely with Siteman Siteman Cancer Center has received a $9.3M, 5-year grant to advance cancer control equity through community-engaged multilevel interventions that address the impact of social determinants of health on cancer.

Great to see the added value of using prior mammograms to improve risk prediction

Development and Validation of Dynamic 5-Year Breast Cancer Risk Model Using Repeated Mammograms Out on JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics Study developed and validated a dynamic #BreastCancer (BC) risk prediction model that incorporates multiple years of previous mammogram images

Reduced smoking = fewer cancer deaths. From 1970–2022, reductions in smoking accounted for 51.4% of of the drop in overall lung cancer mortality. Declines in cancer deaths were greater in men (60.1%) than in women (42.7%). acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.33… OncoAlert Farhad Islami, MD PhD

Congratulations to Dr. Roheena Panni for receiving the 2025 Young Investigator Award! We are proud to highlight her remarkable achievement in advancing cancer research. More: bit.ly/4iiam9s #WashUMedicine #WashUSurgery #SSO2025 #CancerResearch

“Americans die earlier and are sicker than people in other high-income countries. This has been true for a long time, and the trend is getting worse.” gift link wsj.com/health/wellnes…

Our model including the images from prior screening mammograms validates with robust and superior performance to using only one mammogram. This performs across a cross range of race and ethnic groups including Asian women. Wonderful to complete this work with data umbi

Our model performs equally well cross race and think groups including Asian women. It predicts DCIS and invasive breast cancer equally well.

Nice coverage of our new paper showing consistent performance of our AI based breast cancer risk prediction across women from different backgrounds including Asian heritage auntminnie.com/clinical-news/…

An AI model assessing digital mammograms can accurately predict breast cancer risk in a large and diverse population of women, according to @WashUMedicine researchers at Siteman. publichealthsciences.wustl.edu/ai-model-accur…
