One of the most difficult tumors to treat..glioblastoma. We will soon open a trial with @DrSimonKhagi for patients with newly diagnosed brain tumors to receive Bioshield before radiation. His results in patients who have failed all standards of care are so encouraging with near complete responses without chemotherapy.

@drpatrick thanks to you and @ImmunityBio for supporting my passion! Activating NK cells against #glioblastoma may be the key to curing #braincancer! More #research is needed, but we're seeing some promising results!

Today is #earthday2022. As a human living on this planet, everyday is Earth Day. It's more than just recycling, driving an EV, or planting trees. It's literally comes down to our collective survival as a species.
As an oncologist, I worry for my patients:

@OGdukeneurosurg To leave this world better than how you found it.

Super impressed by this team's work! Blood brain barrier penetration is a big issue in #glioblastoma. This team showed that #crispr can be delivered effectively to the brain and induce genetic reprogramming of #GBM cells (extending survival!).

It was great sitting down with OncLive to discuss how oncologists are targeting IDH mutations in #cancer, especially in IDH-mutated recurrent gliomas. Targeted therapy at its best! #medicine #neurooncology #targetedtherapy #oncologists #healthcare

An estimated 23,820 malignant #BrainTumors and spinal tumors were diagnosed in the US last year. @UNC_Lineberger brings together some of the most exceptional physicians and scientists in the country to research and treat #braincancer. #FindACure #WorldCancerDay #Neurosurgery

Here's our publication!

We need better representative models of heterogeneity in #glioblastoma that could lead to better treatments! Very proud of the @UNC_Lineberger #neurooncology research team's recent #publication!

An amazing (and very validating) talk by Dr. Matthew Meyerson at #sno2019 happy to see how our views of #targetedtherapy and #PrecisionMedicine are changing in #neurooncology

[Simon Khagi, MD, FACP @DrSimonKhagi]

Data from #sno2019 that helps point to using #parpinhibitors with chemo. #genomics continues to play a huge role in #clinicalcare in #neurooncology #glioblastoma #braintumor @ JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort… https://t.co/eGIMsTIr17

[Lynne P. Taylor, M.D. @neulpt]

Dr D'Andrea speaking now @NeuroOnc about dna repair. #SNO2019. Fascinating window into Fanconi anemia and brain tumors. Using genetic biomarkers to choose chemotherapy.

[Simon Khagi, MD, FACP @DrSimonKhagi]

An important talk! I’ve seen these bio markers in @StrataOncology can lead to better use of #parpinhibitors in #glioblastoma #SNO2019

[Simon Khagi, MD, FACP @DrSimonKhagi]

Genes that might make #gbm sensitive to ATM inhibitors and maybe PARP inhibitors! #sno2019
I’ve seen these on #nextgenerationsequencing ! @ JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa https://t.co/71oapPSIRK

[Simon Khagi, MD, FACP @DrSimonKhagi]

Excellent talk on #dnarepairenzymes justifying combination of #parpinhibitors to chemo in #glioblastoma lots of options for PARP!! #sno2019 @ JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa https://t.co/SPdUkTPdLE
