Wow!

Great talk by Kahana-Edwin
AV malformations have KRAS mutations and respond to the MEK inhibitor trametinib.
🎯Hitting the target
🎯Precision medicine beyond oncology

[Smadar Kahana-Edwin @SmadarEdwin]

Thank-you @Dr_R_Kurzrock! Being able to more easily and safely identify these targetable mutations means that more children with VM may be able to get access to treatment that improves their QoL. Very humbled to be part of this work with amazing forward thinking collaborators!!

[Razelle Kurzrock, MD @Dr_R_Kurzrock]

Honored to be a Keynote speaker for this outstanding symposium in Melbourne Australia.

Some very exciting talks.
Repurposing MEK inhibitors for AV malformations with KRAS mutations. Clinical responses seen.
