"Our vision is to develop this atlas so that we can identify actionable targets for intercepting pre-cancers,” says Eduardo Vilar-Sanchez, M.D., Ph.D., co-director of the Pre-Cancer Atlas project.

What if we could stop cancer before it causes harm?

That’s the goal of our Pre-Cancer Atlas project, co-led by Dr. Eduardo Vilar-Sanchez and Dr. Anirban Maitra: https://t.co/oi8X6DAc4v @evilarsan @Aiims1742 #CancerMoonshot #EndCancer

Thank you @bcmhouston for so quickly getting shots into the arms of kids under 16. 4 of us vaxxed, just 1 more to go. C'mon Pfizer & the FDA! Get that approval for elementary school kids before August!

Nice lay explanation for tumor microenv. Like the yard (microenv) & house (tumor) analogy. @MDAndersonNews PCA focuses on role of immune cells in "yard" & how they contribute to different types of developing "houses".
