After successful awake craniotomy surgeries at MD Anderson, Robert Alvarez and Adrian Rivas are back to playing the instruments they love. Recently, they met for the first time to play a special concert to thank their care team.

Read their story. #BrainTumor #EndCancer

Adrian Rivas hesitated when Dr. Sujit Prabhu suggested he play the drums during an awake craniotomy.

A video of Robert Alvarez playing guitar during his surgery changed his mind.

This week, the musicians met – and played together https://t.co/mi2dw3CNHU #BrainTumor #EndCancer

From last night, @JenniferLitton speaks to the mission of @MDAndersonNews - to #EndCancer. It drives all we do, and it’s critical we support the next generation to realize that goal. #STATSummit #STATWunderkinds

[UT MD Anderson @UTMDAnderson]

Our Dr. Nick Navin uses single-cell sequencing technologies to plot scientific data. But he also uses art to make his data accessible to a broader audience.

Read how he blends art and his research: https://t.co/GeLzFy1pKC @nicholas_navin #EndCancer
