Farewell to one of the greatest pianists – Alfred Brendel has died aged 94.

The Czech-born pianist was one of the great musicians of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, renowned for his interpretations of the keyboard works of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, Liszt and Beethoven. Brendel retired from the concert hall in 2008 and spent his final years teaching young musicians, as well as writing essays on music and making his own collections of poetry.

Time to brag about our colleague Erik Williams, with a new book hot off the press! To further honor him, here is a perfect example of an entity that he has delineated in anal pathology. - CYLD-mutant cylindroma-like basaloid carcinoma of the anus

Thrilled to share our recent work in @CellCellPress ✨

We study the extent to which tumor suppressor genes in cancer adhere to Knudson's ‘two-hit’ hypothesis, and their clinical implications. 🧵👇

MSKCC experience of CSF cfDNA sequencing in >700 patients now out! Actionable somatic alts in a large fraction of patients + emerging resistance alts merge with repeated sampling. Worse survival if ctDNA detected. Pre-analytic factors discussed. https://t.co/QGwQHnU2ey

A study solving the puzzle of exceptional new lung cancer type: #Chromothripsis-mediated Small Cell Lung Cancer #SCLC

This took nearly a decade and 42 coauthors to unravel.

Here are some highlights 👇

We have lost a giant who touched the lives of many a patients and mentored so many careers. May his legacy live on and continue to inspire future generation of pathologists across the world.

#neurofibroma with "mini" Schwannian nodules in #neurofibromatosis1 patient with multiple spinal tumors. Important points when encountering this is to: 1-not call the tumor a #schwannoma, 2-not interpret as a hypercellular/atypical focus within neurofibroma #neuropath #BSTpath
