U-M researchers, including @DanWahlMD, @DNagrathLab, @Wajd_MD, @LyssiotisLab, have found that brain cancer cells rewire how they use sugar, which can be targeted in mice to slow tumor growth and improve treatment responses. michmed.org/MD2X2. xitter.cf/umichmedicine/status/1…

Rogel has 1 of 4 SPORE grants from @theNCI focused on a theme or treatment strategy instead of a cancer type. Meredith Morgan @UMichRadOnc explains how researchers aim to leverage radiosensitization in 3 tumor types: michmed.org/rwkWA

For a dataset to help patients, it must be good: useable, high-quality data, with biases identified and enough samples to be statistically robust. @ChuckMayoPhD is helping create standard nomenclature for documenting data: michmed.org/Q9PW9 @UMichRadOnc
