A sarcoma is a rare kind of cancer. Although rare in adults, it only accounts for about 1% of all adult cancers, it represents approximately 15% of all childhood cancers. This #SarcomaAwarenessMonth, learn more from CancerDotNet: cprit.us/2KP86eL.

Congratulations, DrBagrodia!

Great work being done in the Kenneth S. Chen lab!



Check out our recent paper in European Urology! Serum miRNA outperform classical serum markers in predicting minimal residual disease in chemo-naive germ cell tumor patients. Advances in this area could improve treatment monitoring and prevent unnecessary surgeries!


Hacking the 10x Genomics platform for 15x more cells & sample multiplexing. Combinatorial indexing + massively overloaded droplet-based scRNA-seq = scifi-RNA-seq. Preprint out now. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…





Cisplatin resistance is rare in TGCT, but it remains a major challenge. Nice work by Clare Turnbull- Prof/NHS Dr et al investigating genomic drivers of TGCT and mechanisms of cisplatin resistance!

Looking forward to hearing Genevieve Kendall, Ph.D.!

Proud of our multiD #testicularcancer team that provides expert, guideline-directed care regardless of ethnicity, insurance status at two hospitals with very different patient populations. -> = #tcsm Thx to UTSW Simmons Cancer Center and Parkland Health for the resources and support! @journalcancer
