In an effort to move to the next stage of genomic research big data, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has established a new genomic data commons: https://gds.nih.gov/.  All investigators can access this site to query genomics data across large populations. This will take you beyond The Cancer…

Research may offer clue into biologic role of these genes in tumor progression Little is known about the molecular basis of aberrant protein glycosylation, a complex enzymatic process that is a hallmark of many human cancers—including colorectal cancers (CRC). Yet in a recent study published in…

Effort to understand risks of treatment, and prognostic clues to long-term outcomes Prostate cancers are either low-grade, low-risk forms that may be monitored but otherwise untreated, or they’re serious enough to require surgery and radiation. Monitoring can cause patients anxiety. Radical…

I just signed up for VeloSano Bike to Cure, marking the second year that the Case CCC will coordinate a team.  I'm hoping you will join me. We had a great time last year, and this year should be even better, and our team even larger! I encourage you to take the time to sign up. Information about…

Here's your chance! The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recently launched an online platform for people to submit research ideas for the Cancer Moonshot.  Suggestions will be collected by the Blue Ribbon Panel and formulated into RFAs with short submission times. I will remind you that the…

At the end of this week, many of you will be attending the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Once again, we are excited to have many members and trainees participating, presenting, and leading sessions. If we accidentally missed anyone, please…

This year, the campus community will come together once again for Relay for Life Saturday, April 16, at 11:30 a.m. at the Bill Sudeck Track at the North Residential Village. This year’s event will be 15 hours—down from last year’s 18—and will conclude at 3 a.m. Sunday, April 17. The event’s…

As you are aware, Vice President Biden and President Obama announced the Cancer Moonshot during the 2016 State of the Union Address. Since that time, there has been considerable development of efforts both on the part of the Executive Branch and through the NCI. In the course of this effort, we…

Advance aims at detecting cancers earlier, improving treatment and outcomes Physicists and engineers at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ have developed an optical sensor, based on nanostructured metamaterials, that’s 1 million times more sensitive than the current best available—one capable of…

The National Center for Regenerative Medicine will host the biannual Cancer Stem Cell conference Sept. 20-23 at the Hilton Hotel Downtown-Lakeside. The conference seeks to foster new collaborations across national and international boundaries. It will address the translation of bench-top science…
