A historic moment at #ASCO26: more than 9,000 oncologists rose for three standing ovations as Brian Wolpin, MD, MPH, Director of the Hale Family Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research, presented promising new Phase 3 results for an investigational treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer.
In the trial, daraxonrasib helped patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer live significantly longer than those who received chemotherapy.
While more work remains, these findings offer something powerful: hope for patients and families facing one of the most challenging cancers.
As Dr. Wolpin said, “It is exciting to see that we may soon be able to help patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer in ways we haven’t been able to before, improving both survival and quality of life.”
Congratulations to the researchers and patients who made this important progress possible. 👏👏👏

Happy to share our recent publication on #Monkeypox multimodal treatment strategies. This is one of the first cases to document the successful use of intralesional cidofovir in treating severe skin lesions of monkeypox. Despite a challenging 7-month hospital stay, the patient achieved a remarkable recovery and is among the few survivors of such a severe form of Monkeypox (aka Mpox). @Elmhurstmed@NewYorkACP@ACPIMPhysicians@AnnalsofIMCC@AnnalsofIM
