Misconceptions and lack of info about #clinicaltrials are big barriers to participation. Research tells us only 3-5% of cancer patients participate in clinical trials and over 50% of Americans report that lack of awareness and lack of info are major reasons. 1/8

Our new study in Blood! We show that tractable peripheral blood monocyte-based gene expression signatures can detect IL-17- and CSF-1-dysregulated cGVHD and are detectable in patients. This could lead to rational therapy selection. ashpublications.org/blood/articl...

Biomarker testing helps diagnose and treat diseases like cancer, but it's expensive and not covered by all insurance. For Kaelyn Lukson, it led to a life-saving treatment. WA House Bill 1062 aims to require insurance coverage for biomarker testing. bit.ly/41sjGTh

“Liquid biopsy tests were pioneered in pregnancy health research and is now an emerging research area in oncology,” said co-corresponding author Dr. Gavin Ha. “There are similarities in the genes we’re looking at in both areas of research.” #oncsky

Interesting results presented by Elizabeth Krantz from @joshhillmd.bsky.social team @fredhutch.bsky.social @astct.bsky.social Tandem2025. Overall antibody levels are low in CAR T recipients. Re-vaccination is important. The Boonya lab collaborated on the B cell analysis.

There’s been much discussion about CAR T for severe autoimmune disease, incl. lupus & MS. What can we learn about how that might work from patients who have both cancer & autoimmune disease and get B-/plasma-cell directed CAR T?
