Thank you to @sajkhanmd and @Johnsonlab_yale for presenting #GrandRounds sharing the importance of team science in helping to elucidate sex-specific differences in #colorectalcancer metabolism. Watch their full talk now youtube.com/watch?v=KyWuLt…. @SmilowCancer @YaleGICancers

The 2026 @ASCO Patient-Clinician Communication guidelines offer actionable strategies for complex conversations, including prognosis, end-of-life care, telehealth, and boundary setting. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC… @SmilowCancer @ash_alpert

Congratulations to the 5 members of @YaleCancer elected to the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE): Drs. @ranjitbindra; Jonathan Ellman @ellman_lab; Benjamin Judson @YaleSurgery; Megan King @MCDB_Yale; and Katerina Politi @yalepathology. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/news-ar… @SmilowCancer

When @SuDeng_PhD was 10, one of her friends had cancer. She felt powerless. Today, through her lab, Deng is developing combined therapies to combat therapy resistance and bring hope to patients. Learn more about the Deng Lab's work➡️youtube.com/watch?v=AGy6p-… @YaleMed

New technology is transforming #bonecancer surgery. Yale surgeons are using 3D modeling and #mixedreality to better visualize tumors, plan complex procedures, and improve precision in the operating room. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/news-ar… @SmilowCancer #osteosarcoma

Congratulations to Tania Galindo, MHA, program coordinator at Yale Cancer Center, this year’s recipient of the Service Excellence Award. @DrEricWiner presented Tania with her award at Yale Cancer Center’s Annual Awards Program. @SmilowCancer

Congratulations to Drs. @BillingsleyMd, @sajkhanmd, @pathik_aravind, and the entire surgical team involved in the first #RoboticHepaticArterialPump placement at Yale and in the state of #Connecticut. A tremendous accomplishment! yalemedicine.org/departments/he… @SmilowCancer @YaleGICancers @YNHH

Certain #braintumors evade therapy by repairing DNA damage from radiation and chemotherapy. @ranjitbindra + @AsherMarksMD found that tumors with specific mutations may be vulnerable to DNA repair inhibitors + rapidly launched a #clinicaltrial for young patients with high-grade #gliomas. ➡️Watch: medicine.yale.edu/cancer/news-ar… @SmilowCancer

Today at 12pm, @sajkhanmd and @Johnsonlab_yale will present our #GrandRounds: "Application of Team Science to Elucidate Sex-Specific Differences of Colorectal Cancer Metabolism." Join us in Smilow Auditorium or online via Zoom: bit.ly/474Lhw7 @SmilowCancer @YaleGICancers

We'll see you at the @NCCN 2026 Annual Conference! Chief of Breast Radiation Oncology Meena Moran, MD, presents during a Breast Cancer Case Review, and 5 of our faculty and researchers will be sharing posters. Looking forward to learning updates in the NCCN Guidelines and networking opps! @SmilowCancer @YaleBreast

Thx @EricTopol for highlighting our hybrid cardio-onc/CHIP clinic @Yale. Clonal hematopoiesis is reshaping how we think about CV🫀risk, including in cancer patients (CH=2-3x more prevalent); excited to build clinical models that bring these discoveries to patients w/@KnowingAlok!

A Phase 1 study by @AartiBhatiaMD combined berzosertib with cisplatin + radiation in locally advanced #HNSCC. The regimen was feasible + safe, but did not improve response rates compared w/historical chemoradiation—highlighting the need for better radiosensitizers. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cn… @SmilowCancer @OncoAlert

A study led by @YaleGICancers researchers aimed to identify drug sensitivity patterns in #colorectalcancer with peritoneal metastases to improve #HIPEC agent selection. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/publica… @SmilowCancer @kturaga @JSheltzer @princygupta19 @ElizLGodfreyMD @sundar__raghav

Register now to join our AI in Cancer Workshop! This Yale-only program highlights #precisionmedicine with a focus on #AI in #cancer, clinical care, #clinicaltrials, imaging, and research. Presenters include: @dbittermanmd; @Fridsma; Dr. Christopher Whitlow @YaleRadiology; @WilliamOhMD; and more! ➡️RSVP: bit.ly/4ugiwqa @SmilowCancer @Yale_Ventures @YaleBIDS

A new study evaluates Y-MATRIX, a classification system developed at Yale to assess the clinical actionability of broad genomic profiling in advanced #NSCLC, tracking how molecular findings informed treatment decisions as targeted therapies evolved. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/publica… @SmilowCancer @YaleCOPPER

Tonight at 7:30pm on #YaleCancerAnswers, Dr. Jennifer Ligibel @DFCI_BreastOnc joins to talk about integrative therapies and the impact of diet and exercise on patients with #cancer, as well as physician wellness and burnout. 🔹Listen live @wnpr 🔹Download @ApplePodcasts 🔹Listen later @YouTube @SmilowCancer

Grateful to the @CTCancerPartner for leading today’s physician education program on #lungcancer screening—highlighting why early detection matters. Moderated by @DrRoyHerbstYale, with Dr. Ilana Richman and members @YaleThoracic. @SmilowCancer @CTDPH

Hormone behind obesity-induced #pancreaticcancer discovered: “We discovered that the pancreas inappropriately produces the hormone #cholecystokinin in response to obesity and this hormone was a key driver of obesity-associated pancreatic cancer in mice.” -@MuzumdarLab. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/news-ar… @SmilowCancer @YaleGICancers

New research from Drs. @sidichen and Lei Peng shows that engineering NK cells with the receptor OR7A10 may improve their ability to attack solid tumors—potentially overcoming key CAR-NK therapy challenges like poor tumor infiltration and persistence. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/publica… @SmilowCancer @YaleGenetics
