Ever wonder if tRNAs can regulate the identity of a cancer cell?
@HsiehLab @FredHutch postdoc @yeonsookim_phd did and discovered a single tRNA that can control lineage dependency and drug sensitivity in prostate cancer published today @Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

In today’s plenary session, Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD, shares positive results from the PROTEUS trial showing patients treated with the apalutamide plus hormone therapy regimen were ten times more likely to have little to no cancer present at surgery. #ASCO26

Excited to share our new paper @NatureComms in collaboration with @RickmanLab, led by #RichaSingh @WeillCornell and @Bajji @DanaFarber #BeltranLab
New research published in @NatureComms provides critical mechanistic insights into how prostate cancer becomes resistant to treatment, uncovering how two key epigenetic mechanisms - DNA methylation and EZH2 activity - work together to drive transformation to a more aggressive form of the disease, neuroendocrine prostate cancer. @DanaFarber @bajji @mishabeltran

The standard of care for MIBC will now include perioperative EVP for both cisplatin eligible and ineligible #BladderCancer pts. The EV304 study presented today @MattGalsky shows an improvement in EFS (HR 0.53) and OS (HR 0.65) for EVP over GC. @ASCO #GU26

Tonight we sit with the cherished memories of a truly unforgettable individual who changed the lives of so many fighting cancer.
Tomorrow we stand and get back to the fight against the terrible disease that took one of our best, brightest, and kindest.
Love you forever, Felix.

We are happy to share our work led by @AramLyu and Zenghua Fan on why prostate cancer is so resistant to immunotherapy.

Can oligometastatic prostate cancer be cured with ‘total therapy’? Check out our paper reporting on outcomes after fixed-duration ADT +/- ARPI, met-directed therapy and local therapy (if de novo) for omHSPC, published in @EurUrolOncol:

We presented the 5-year OS update for pts who are cis-ineligible w/met UC treated in EV-103 cohort A/Dose Esc with EV/pembro: 41% of patients are alive at 5 years! (Historical data <5% in a similar pt population). If this holds up in EV302, it is truly a game changer! #ESMO2024
PSMAfore published @TheLancet today. Proud to have contributed to this impactful study. 50-day 🔗 to full-article: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jmkB…
Our poster #ESMO2024 (1646P): ADT + Doce + Nivo in pts with DDR-proficient & immune-cold mHSPC did not meet PSA endpoint; 3/20 pts with durable responses; post-ADT baseline CTCs indicate persistent AR signaling as resistance mechanism. Biomarker ➕ cohorts results to follow. @JoshLangMD @DrRanaMcKay @davidjeinstein @JadChahoud @ChrisSweens1 @ThePCCTC @PCFnews

Huge congrats to @apolo_andrea @sonpavde @DrRosenbergMSK @WilliamKimMD @bergsa83 & the @ALLIANCE_org team on a terrific @myESMO presentation & a concomitant @NEJM paper! A very exciting #ESMO24 indeed!

Terrific overview of BiTEs in #prostatecancer at #ESMO24 by @neerajaiims @huntsmancancer. #PSMA, #STEAP1, #DLL3 & other targets being exploited with varying levels of success. BEAUTIFUL comprehensive tables included in his talk that give immediate perspective of the status of bispecific & trispecifics - @myESMO fellows in attendance - great reference here! @brian_rini @powles_tom @Uromigos

Standing room only for #ESMO24 prostate session, @mishabeltran excellent discussions on DLL3 targeting in neuroendocrine prostate cancer and @neerajaiims on T-cell engagers
Xiao Wei, MD retweeted
Masterful discussion by @VincentWenxinXu of the biomarker data presented, including the KIM-1 data to which he has personally had very important contributions.
