Super excited to share the first preprint from Karuna Ganesh Lab! An amazing collaboration with dana_peer, led by the phenomenal andrew moorman @f_cambuli and Ellie Benitez Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Progressive #Plasticity during #ColorectalCancer #Metastasis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Important work by colleague Sakti Chakrabarti, MD outlining real world and clinical trial data that supports the use of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade for locally advanced MSI-H tumors.

New research presented by MSK gastrointestinal medical oncologist Yelena Y. Janjigian MD at #AACR25 shows that a simple blood test can help doctors identify which patients are most likely to benefit from #immunotherapy after cancer surgery to remove tumors — potentially preventing the


Organ preservation is possible in a high proportion of patients with dMMR/MSI-H tumors with neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade. Incredible work by Andrea Cercek Mike Foote Luis Diaz at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Congratulations Stefanie Gerstberger, MD PhD! Innovative and brilliant mentorship by Karuna Ganesh on this work describing why we see the colibactin SBS signature enriched in early onset CRC.
