Four National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering – have joined forces and secured funding from AI technology leaders Amazon Web Services (AWS), Deloitte, Microsoft and NVIDIA, to create the Cancer AI Alliance (CAIA). The alliance will apply responsible #AI to the collective power of the participating cancer centers’ data to unlock insights while protecting data security, all to identify more ways to transform cancer research and care. https://bit.ly/3Bqy9EL

Jessica Brower, ARNP, is a Fred Hutch provider who sees patients in our High Risk Cancer Surveillance Clinic, where we offer a personalized approach to managing #cancerrisk. “I like helping patients learn about their risks so they can make better and more informed decisions about their health,” she shared. As a provider, Brower strives to be a guide and advocate for her patients. “I hope patients get the sense that I care about them and that I understand what they are going through,” she says. “Any time we talk about cancer, I think patients automatically feel nervous. I want to be calming for them and to explain things and help them understand.” Learn more about Jessica Brower, ARNP: https://bit.ly/4dwLTee #hereditarycancerweek #cancerriskreduction

The rare liver cancer fibrolamellar carcinoma, or FLC, affects only one out of 5 million people, usually children or young adults with otherwise healthy livers. Because FLC is so rare, it’s difficult to estimate five-year survival rates, which range between 44 and 68% with surgery and 2 to 17% without surgery. There is no curative therapy for FLC. Its rarity also makes the disease difficult to study in the lab because tumor samples are few and far between. “You see maybe four or five cases a year, which means every case is precious and important for researchers trying to understand the disease and what drives the tumor,” said rare-cancer expert Taran Gujral, PhD, an associate professor in the Human Biology Division of Fred Hutch Cancer Center. He recently received a four-year, $1,275,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to study FLC and four other rare liver cancers to make the most of the rare and small samples provided by hospitals. https://bit.ly/4dy8qaC #RareCancerDay

Fred Hutch reposted this
On September 20, 2024, the #Greater Seattle (WA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated (#GSCL) partnered with the Fred Hutch for a one of a kind "Science Salon"! Against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset, #GSCL members learned sobering statistics about the impact of cancers in Black and other minority communities. Tours of a mobile mammogram and an endoscopy suite made the discussions about ways to prevent cancer feel real and within reach. Scientists (Vida Henderson, PhD, PharmD, #ErikKimble, and me) shared their work at the cutting edge of cancer which spanned from community outreach and engagement to editing an individual's genes. At the end of the event, #GSCL were given a clear call to action: ask directly about their family cancer history, do whatever they can to detect cancer at its earliest stage, and share what they’ve learned with someone else. A special thank you to Joanne Harrell and #DrLillianRobertson for a wonderful event. It was a pleasure to moderate and contribute to the conversation.

The Science Education Partnership group at Fred Hutch a $1.35 million, five-year grant earlier this year from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to launch a new science education and training program called Reducing Inequities by Promoting Participatory Learning Experiences in Sciences (RIPPLES). The grant will help support curriculum development, professional development for educators and engagement with American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students to foster equity in science education.

Delving deep into Dr. Don Thomas’ role in discovering bone marrow transplantation and its role in curing hematologic cancers, Fred Hutch's Dr. Fred Appelbaum Appelbaum, who became Thomas’s mentee and collaborator, wrote “Living Medicine: Don Thomas, Marrow Transplantation, and the Cell Therapy Revolution.” Appelbaum sat down with the Cancer History Project to discuss Thomas' groundbreaking work and how it paved the way for cellular therapies. https://bit.ly/3XSuZlQ

Thank you to all the speakers and participants at the Dr. Beverly Torok-Storb Symposium yesterday. In the words of Dr. Ron Hoffman, a self-described student of pop culture, "Dr. Bev was brat." She was unapologetically bold in her kindness and left an extraordinary impact on stem cell research and future generations of scientists and doctors.
