Excited to share our new #VirtualTumorBoard in @CACancerJournal. We walk through multimodal management of BRAF V600E+ melanoma brain metastasis. Proud to be part of the team @MGHNeuroOnc @MassGenBrigham. Hope this will be a useful resource for clinicians.

@nobiscum4 @Rothmus Well said, South Tyrol was indeed annexed by Italy after centuries under Austrian rule. Our homeland was divided, not by choice, but by geopolitics and the post-war assimilation policies had a lasting impact. Yet we endured and were able to preserve our culture and traditions.

[David Gritsch, MD, PhD, MPH @GritschDavid]

@DannyconlaA @Shanahan81526 @Rothmus It’s true that many South Tyroleans haven’t traditionally identified as Italian, and for good reason. Growing up, I saw myself as South Tyrolean first and foremost. Some of us now embrace both identities, but we’ve always preserved our distinct culture and language identity.

[David Gritsch, MD, PhD, MPH @GritschDavid]

@Shanahan81526 @Rothmus Since the end of WW1 (1920) South Tyrol has been part of Italy and many of us now identify as Italian, though we maintain our own linguistic, cultural and ethnic identity.

[David Gritsch, MD, PhD, MPH @GritschDavid]

@TRlBVNVS_PLEBIS @Rothmus True, Northern Italy led early emigration, still most Italian-Americans on the East Coast today (~80%) trace their roots to the South. Northern Italians were more likely to end up in rural regions in the Midwest and on the West Coast. Thank you for the clarification!

[David Gritsch, MD, PhD, MPH @GritschDavid]

@MaralSassouni @Rothmus Not in big waves! Tyroleans have traditionally been very attached to their region. Emigration did happen, but nowhere near the scale seen in southern Italy. Most preferred to stay rooted in their valleys… with some exceptions (like me 😉).

Welcome @GritschDavid to the Division of Neuro-Oncology and the faculty at MGB Neurology beginning in July! @MGHNeurology

@MrugalaMaciej @MassGenBrigham @Harvard Thank you so much, Maciej, it truly means the world coming from you. I’m deeply grateful for your mentorship and friendship over the years, and proud to follow in your footsteps. Here’s to the next chapter, and hopefully to crossing paths again soon!

Important contribution from an international collaboration. Our meta-analysis in @Annals_Oncology shows that while ctDNA clearance after neoadjuvant immunotherapy is highly sensitive for predicting pCR, its limited specificity underscores the need for refined biomarkers before guiding clinical decisions.

@MarioNawfal It’s a very old and cherished tradition in the alpine countries of Europe, including in the Italian Alps where I grew up. As other people have explained this has nothing to do with Satanism or demon worship. It’s quite the opposite and part of our Christmas traditions.

@mimosa_fiore @kirawontmiss Grazie per aver condiviso! Ha ragione, il Ladino è una parte preziosa della nostra identità culturale, e rispetto profondamente chi preserva questa ricchezza. Le Dolomiti del Brenta sono davvero uniche e rappresentano al meglio la diversità della nostra regione.

[David Gritsch, MD, PhD, MPH @GritschDavid]

@AngelicaAttana4 @kirawontmiss Assolutamente d’accordo, il Veneto è altrettanto spettacolare! La bellezza dell’Italia è davvero un patrimonio che tutti noi apprezziamo profondamente.
