Honored to have been invited to the Brain Metastasis Think Tank again for #SNOASCO24 led by Carey Anders and Nancy Lin, MD! Amazing discussions (and maybe a bit of group therapy) today! Excited to report out to the Conference tomorrow of the main takeaways. SNO

Some of the CIMARa members gathering together at our poster at #SNOASCO24 in Denver!

Poster session success at #SNOASCO24! Thanks to everyone who stopped by the CIMARa poster to learn more about our collaborative group. To those who stopped by the #MetsGetsAwareness poster, sorry I didn't get to talk with you but happy to chat anytime about this campaign!

In the final session of #SNOASCO24, discussing how to build a strong brain metastasis center/program. Center Co-Dirrctor Carey Anders joining colleagues from other centers, plus Nicole Willmarth, PhD of American Brain Tumor Association, Lianne Kraemer of MBC Alliance, and others. SNO ASCO

Presentation by Nicole Willmarth, PhD of American Brain Tumor Association on their efforts in #brainmetastasis, including a Collaborative with multiple organizations, in several aspects of increasing awareness, identifying needs, and supporting research. Thank you ABTA for your critical work in this area!

Today, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee visited Duke University to meet Mary E. Klotman, MD, executive vp of health affairs, and Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis leadership.

It's time for #MetsGetsAwareness!

Did you know? Among patients with lung cancer, about 16-20 percent develop brain metastases. Risk of brain mets is highest in SCLC, EGFR, and ALK positive lung cancers.

LITT (laser interstitial thermal therapy) uses a laser to destroy unhealthy brain tissue, including new and recurrent brain tumors and radiation necrosis. LITT is minimally invasive - the opening in the scalp is only about as big as a pencil eraser.

Metastatic brain tumors are different than primary brain tumors. Not only are they more common, they're not actually brain cancer. The cancer is still the primary cancer - lung, breast, or others - but that cancer is now in the brain.

More than 60% of patients with advanced prostate cancer will eventually develop bone metastases. The spine is one of the most common places for bone metastasis.

Thank you to Congresswoman Valerie Foushee for continuing to support brain and spine metastasis awareness. On Monday, Rep. Foushee reintroduced a resolution naming June Brain and Spine Metastasis Awareness Month. Read more: neurosurgery.duke.edu/news/foushee-r…
