Huge congratulations to @waraonc23 and Dr. Takahashi on their presentations at the @AACR annual meeting.
Obesity shaping CRC biology + immune checkpoints, and consistent irAE rates with ICIs across populations—both highly relevant, impactful work.
Great working with them on these projects. More to come soon in publications.

🙏@AACR for inviting me to talk re pt-centric approaches for oral therapies in CRC. Always happy to highlight our @UTMDAnderson CRC team using ctDNA & novel trial design to bring best & safest to our pts, led by the incredible @JarettFeldmanMD, @vserpashigbie & Dr Alisha Bent!
Drug development is supposed to be linear.
Build the drug → use the drug → resistance shows up → then figure out what to do next.
Aaaand not what Revolution Medicines is doing. 🧬
At #AACR26 they disclosed RM-055, which honestly is a unique concept.
Before daraxonrasib is even fully in the world, they’re building around resistance.
How it works:
• Most mutant RAS proteins are relatively resistant to GAP-mediated hydrolysis
• That helps keep RAS in the active state
• They’ve found a way to enhance that hydrolysis with RM-055
RM-055 can:
• restore hydrolysis in mutant RAS
• flatten daraxonrasib-resistant models
• generate activity even in RAS-amplified settings 👀
That’s a very smart way to think about this space.
Not just “here’s our inhibitor.”
More like: we already know resistance to our drug is coming, so let’s start building now.
That’s how we cure cancer, not more me-toos (if I hear about another new PD1 program I’m going to cry).

Thank you, @AACR, for giving advocates a place to learn, ask questions, grow, and foster collaborations with scientists and other advocates. Your belief that we belong in these spaces has empowered us, helped us find our voices, and contributed in meaningful ways. #AACR26
This is exciting!! I have always wanted to know the biomarker profile of folks without a cCR after TNT Perhaps combining biomarker directed therapies with SOC chemo as TNT is the next step to increase cCR rates and NOM for locally advanced rectal cancer Need #NCTN trials here!
March is #ColorectalCancerAwareness Month 💙
When I was diagnosed with rectal cancer, everything changed overnight
Even with a science background, nothing prepares you emotionally for hearing the word “cancer.”
If you’re going through this, you are not alone

Fresh off an incredible #GI26. 💙 The COLONTOWN team was proud to present a poster on 5-FU Freedom (via pump self-disconnect), work that grew directly from patient-to-patient convos in our Community!
👉 If you self-disconnect your 5-FU pump, comment with your cancer center.
Congratulations @VanitaNoronha and @TataMemorial team for asking really important questions about the right dose and duration of immunotherapy! We need to address over treatment !! @OncoAlert !
What if we’ve been overdosing immunotherapy all along?
In our Ph III DELII study, 20 mg nivolumab q2w beat chemo in OS, with less toxicity, better QoL. It's time to rethink ICI dosing-for science and equity! https://t.co/mBqq2sdm6v @JCO_ASCO@OncoAlert@TataMemorial@SuyogCancer
Incredibly grateful to Andy Chan for presenting our global #EOCRC Think Tank efforts at the #SU2CInnovationSummit. Grateful for the opportunity to highlight this collaborative, international work advancing #colorectalcancerresearch. #cancerresearch@SU2C

I’ve seen alot of posts recently about pancreatic cancer being “cured” in mice. Just a general reminder of something that is currently hung in my office:
