@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Interesting, is there any retrospective data that patients treated with digoxin for cardiac indications have a lower incidence of metastatic cancer?

How a heart medication—digoxin—might help prevent cancer spread by dissolving clusters of circulating tumor cells

Humbled to receive a #VanierCanada scholarship from @CIHR_IRSC for our work on the heart issues childhood cancer survivors endure! Vanier wouldn't have been possible w/o the people and communities I worked with in Scarborough and Princess Margaret, who inspired me to do an MD/PhD

✨Check out our study✨We use germline genetic and epigenetic data to identify diagnostic biomarkers, prognostic signatures, actionable therapeutic targets and correlates of clinical heterogeneity that will allow for improved clinical management of LFS patients!

Just published— Multiple germline events contribute to cancer development in patients with #LiFraumenisyndrome, by @vallisubasri et al. bit.ly/3U5KG5L @UofT @sickkids #openaccess
English
In the future this holistic approach could be used to develop tailored strategies for cancer surveillance in patients with this rare and devastating cancer predisposition syndrome.
English
@vallisubasri used this to develop a machine learning model which can predict cancer risk in patients with Li Fraumeni Syndrome.
English
Amazing work by @vallisubasri comprehensively investigating the ways in which germline genetic variants and epimutations effect cancer risk in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, using whole genome sequencing and methylation data from 396 LFS patients.

Our study is out today in @NatureComms ! We analyzed cancer genomes from patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and found early copy number gain of the mutant allele of TP53 to be a characteristic feature of these tumours. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@nick_light @NatureComms Congratulations Nick! Great work!

@vallisubasri @NatureComms Thank you Valli! So glad we got to work together on some awesome projects!
English
So happy to see our study led by @nick_light out in @NatureComms today!! Fun fact: Nick was the first person I met in the Malkin lab and was an incredible mentor throughout my PhD!

Amazing to watch this study grow over the past 7+ years. Congrats to the entire KiCS program!

Who else thinks that instead of wasting millions of tax dollars on private, for-profit agencies to provide hospitals with temporary nurses...the Ontario government should just provide ALL nurses with proper wages, permanent jobs & benefits? ✋🏾
