Adding checkpoint inhibition immunotherapy to adjuvant #chemotherapy did not improve survival among patients with triple-negative #breastcancer , according to a new study. Heather McArthur, MD, MPH, discusses the results in this #podcast : ow.ly/6k5s50Rfo0F Heather McArthur, MD, MPH

ERC Advanced Grant

I am highly honoured to announce that I have been awarded with the ERC Advanced grant of 2.5 million euro for 5 years to unravel the ECM remodeling in cancer and study its impact on immunotherapy in pancreatic tumor.

What is immunotherapy? 🧬

Immunotherapy is a new and effective treatment that turns the body’s immune system against cancer. It boosts the body’s immune system, enabling it to recognise and eliminate cancer cells whilst leaving healthy cells alone.

We are still working on the definitions of outcomes of oral immunotherapy. It’s not all the same AND we don’t even have our terminology sorted out - yet! Keyword here: YET! #NAPAAC24

Excellent presentation by Ernest Nadal at #AACR24 , exploring the combination of immunotherapy and PARP inhibitors (iPARP).

Don’t lump all oral immunotherapy together.

When looking at challenge defined outcomes, may not correlate with patient defined outcomes

Remission has been shown to improve QOL in patients that can achieve this!

AKI Related to Cancer Immunotherapy: Can Biomarkers Help by Sebastian Lapman

Immune checkpoint inhibitors unleash the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively. Yet, they are associated with risk of AKI.

The potential biomarkers are as such:

#AILCC24 Keynote Speaker

Thanks Dr. Julie Brahmer for a stellar presentation on immunotherapy: the beginning, the middle, the future. Areas of need:
- IO tox
- IO resistance
- academic studies on relevant questions: e.g. IO duration

Cancer is so indiscriminate and harsh that it can erase years of animosity instantly when you find out someone has it.

During my first diagnosis, I was doing an immunotherapy infusion, and who would happen to sit next to me?

My college track coach, who I absolutely loathed.…

With one session of immunotherapy remaining and my return to work on the horizon, it is time to start winding down my fundraiser.

Thank you all. I’ll be paying this forward for the rest of my days. gofund.me/48986d0a
