Published today in @Nature: A new Fred Hutch study using a first-in-kind rapid autopsy program shows details of metastatic bladder cancer subtypes; could improve diagnosis and future treatment. https://t.co/mQIo8YjE9r

This work was led by @GavinHa , @HsiehLab, Ming Lam, and @DrOmarMian, involving 5-years of tissue collection followed by 5-years of analysis. The UW/Fred Hutch Rapid Autopsy Program was founded by Drs. @JLWrightMD, Bruce Montgomery, Ming Lam, Funda Vakar-Lopez, @HsiehLab

Ever wonder how heterogeneity defines bladder cancer subtypes?

Ha and Hsieh Lab postdoctoral fellows @pushpa_itagi and Samantha Schuster @fredhutch did, leading to a deep study of bladder cancer clonality, evolution, and heterogeneity published @Nature

Thrilled to see our work over years in #bladdercancer published in @Nature THANKS to patients/families consenting to our research autopsy program wanting to support others! Kudos to @HsiehLab @GavinHa #OmarMian #MingLam et al. @fredhutch @HutchPresident

In a step toward a #liquidbiopsy for small cell #lungcancer, a Fred Hutch team led @DMacPhersonLab and @GavinHa have developed an approach that can distinguish several #SCLC subtypes from blood samples. https://t.co/IeZVRe6nmp

So excited to share our work on tumor genomes of African ancestry in common cancers. We report several actionable associations, including a novel ancestry-smoking interaction impacts TP53 rate. More discoveries to come if we improve diversity in genomics! https://t.co/hfhO23PNmn

Have you ever wondered if 3’UTR point mutations found in cancer patients matter? We’re excited to share our new publication out today @CellReports, where we’ve defined how prostate tumor 3’UTR mutations affect molecular & cellular oncogenicity. https://t.co/MhKM0S2uZW 1/n
