The future of cancer care won't be built by immunotherapy aloneβ€”or by AI alone. It will be built at the intersection of both. I'm honored to have been invited by Technology Networks as a Featured Oral Speaker for The Landscape of Cancer Research: Advances in Immuno-Oncology 2026, where I'll be discussing Artificial Intelligence in Lymphoma Immunotherapy. From clinical trial matching and precision treatment selection to uncovering patterns we might otherwise miss, AI is rapidly becoming a powerful tool to augment oncology care. While there is still much work ahead, the potential impact on patients is enormous. Grateful to Technology Networks for the invitation and excited to learn from an incredible lineup of speakers advancing the future of cancer research. I would also like to thank Dr. Arturo LoAIza-Bonilla and Dr. Chandler Park for their mentorship, encouragement, and friendship. Much of what I have learned about innovation, leadership, and translating emerging technologies into meaningful impact for patients has been shaped by mentors who invest deeply in the next generation. I am profoundly grateful for their guidance. πŸ“… June 17–18, 2026 🌍 Free Global Virtual Event Join us: technologynetworks.com/tn/on… #CancerResearch #ImmunoOncology #ArtificialIntelligence #Lymphoma #PrecisionMedicine #Hematology #Oncology #CancerInnovation

This is very important unless the PDL1 is very high like 80% we use chemo/IO as standard of care but there was still debate #lungcancer #lscm
A meta-analysis found first-line chemoimmunotherapy provided longer overall and progression-free survival than PD-(L)1 inhibitor monotherapy in advanced #NSCLC with high #PDL1, though with greater toxicity. ja.ma/4fn6KW3

It was a wonderful honor to join our annual @NCCN #CLL #SLL #Richters #HCL panel repping @RoswellPark with amazing colleagues from around πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ in Philadelphia on the eve of America’s 250th birthday. Doing our best in a (fortunately) rapidly changing and improving landscape to guide physicians and other #cancer providers in helping patients fight blood cancers more safely, effectively, and tolerably. #lymsm #leuksm #bloodcancer

It was truly an honor to join Matthew Zachary on Out of Patients. Matthew is a brain cancer survivor, patient advocate, and one of the most influential voices in cancer survivorship. Sitting down with someone who has spent decades fighting for patients made this conversation especially meaningful. We talked about a journey that began long before medicineβ€”from surviving the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster as a child, to caring for my mother during her cancer journey, to ultimately choosing a career in oncology. Along the way, we discussed mentorship, resilience, patient advocacy, the challenges facing American healthcare, and the responsibility we have to leave medicine better than we found it. One thought that has stayed with me throughout my career is this: "Every physician has a story, but not every physician remembers what it feels like to be the patient." That perspective has shaped how I approach medicine, leadership, education, and service. At its core, this conversation isn't really about Chernobyl or even medicine. It's about purposeβ€”how adversity can shape us, how mentors can change the course of our lives, and how our greatest challenges can become opportunities to serve others. I'm grateful to the physicians who cared for me, the mentors who guided me, the patients who trust me, and to Matthew for creating a space where these conversations can happen. πŸŽ™οΈ The Chernobyl Kid in a White Coat open.spotify.com/episode/7bh… I hope you'll give it a listen, and I'd love to hear what resonates most with you. #Oncology #Medicine #PatientAdvocacy #CancerCare #Mentorship #Leadership #Healthcare #Survivorship #Chernobyl #OutOfPatients

BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE for the opportunity of a LIFETIME to speak at the 2026 @ASCO lung orals session as the discussant on FOUR impactful abstracts focused on novel therapeutic strategies for small cell lung cancer! These trials represent HOPE through progress, dedicated research, discovery, curiosity, and serve as new/future options for our Small Cell SMASHERS & their loved ones. Deeply grateful for this opportunity to highlight the key aspects of each study and how we can use this knowledge to help change/improve the way we treat, care for, and support our patients all over the world impacted by small cell lung cancer. Thank you to every patient, SMASHER, and loved ones who dedicated their lives to be parts of these studies. Because of your courage, altruism, and selflessness, we are one more step closer to limiting loss from small cell lung cancer. #ASCO2026 #researchcurescancer #lcsm #trials #research @SclcSMASHERS @ConquerCancerFd @IUCancerCenter @LUNGevity @TheShieldsLab @LauraAlderMD @FordePatrick @LaurenByersMD @g_mountzios

We know Black men are at higher risk for #prostatecancer & that a variant T allele increases their risk 3.4 x. The news: if someone has 2 of these T alleles, risk appears 11.4 x. Listen as McManus & Shevach discuss. #ASCO26 @DukeGUCancer @DukeCancer @DukeHealth

Cheers, chills, and a standing ovation when RASolute 302 showed unprecedented survival on daraxonrasib for patients with progressive pancreatic cancer Seldom do you sense you’re witnessing a historic moment in cancer care but this feels like ras targeting has arrived #ASCO26
