Dr. Kelly shows that pembrolizumab + epacadostat is ineffective in #sarcoma but correlative studies noted lack of IDO inhibition. Provides some important insight into potential mechanism of drug failure, leaving many unanswered questions. @MSKSarcoma @MSK_DeptOfMed

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Bob Maki back to the MSK family. Dr. Maki brings long-standing expertise in #sarcoma through innovative research and trials. A dedicated colleague, mentor, friend and a compassionate clinician. Clinics in Manhattan and Nassau campus. Welcome Bob!

As a recipient of numerous ASCO Conquer Cancer grants, I can attest to the power and value of these opportunities. connection.asco.org/magazine/featu…. @MSKSarcoma @MSK_DeptOfMed @ASCO @ConquerCancerFd
