The dual capacity for cancers to metastasize and resist systemic treatment is the tipping point for driving lethal cancer. Drs. Pienta, Goodin & Amend explore how eco-evolutionary principles can guide new interventions: https://t.co/kesXDaT9jX @Cancerecology@sr_amend@OncoAlert
“Studying, understanding, and treating cancer using evolutionary ecology principles provides an opportunity to improve the lives of patients with cancer.”

A new study challenges Peto’s Paradox, which says larger animals are no more likely to get cancer than smaller ones.
Dr. Sarah Amend from @HopkinsMedicine joins us to discuss the findings and what studying animal cancer rates could teach scientists.

Thanks to PIs @djmcconkey, @lupold_lab, & @aghazimd and in lab mentors. This summer experience is only possible through BSI-SIP, the work of SURE founder, Brandy Yeater, and generous support from donors. Thank you!
SURE students who spent the summer doing research at @brady_urology presented their work at the CARES symposium today - great work done by talented students!
How chemotherapy drives metastasis by causing tumor cells to become significantly more mobile. @sr_amend@HopkinsMedicine joins @AndreaMiyahira@PCFnews to discuss her work on polyaneuploid cancer cells and their increased metastatic potential > https://t.co/ZMKIwU5bxX
