Amazing translational research presented by Valerie Yang MBBChir PhD ‘s Lab and colleagues Tan Boon, Wong Ru Xin and more..in the Singapore Sarcoma & Skin Symposium 2025 symposium. So inspiring to meet these young MD, PhD and and postgraduate students and hear about the future of #sarcoma research.

A full house at 1st SingHealth Sarcoma and Skin Symposium at the National Cancer Centre Singapore, 19-20 July 2023. Wonderful to see so many people from all walks of life dedicated towards improving outcomes for our patients with #Sarcoma or #Skin Cancers! #rarecancer

Kudos to authors. Unclear role for most craniopharyngiomas w/ this drug combo. Recent NEJM paper on craniopharyngioma with BRAF-MEK inh: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Just take a momment to compare this to a much larger phase 2 trial of protons/photons. ASTRO The New York Times

Always love @drdavidpalma talks about treatment of oligomets. 🔥 Pearls on pt selection, dosing considerations, and low likelihood of significant toxicity with careful planning. 🔑 points: ⭐️treat all oligomets when possible ⭐️looking for abscopal likely low yield #ASTRO23
