From #ASCO26, Mihaela Druta, MD (@MihaelaDruta), highlights a study she co-authored evaluating afamitresgene autoleucel (afami-cel), a MAGE-A4-targeted T-cell therapy, in advanced synovial sarcoma. Pooled trial data showed meaningful responses, pointing to the potential of engineered T-cell therapies for patients with this rare and challenging disease. #MoffittASCO26

Live from #ASCO26: Kedar Kirtane, MD (@DrKedarKirtane), discusses emerging cell therapies in head and neck cancer and advances helping shape the future of treatment. Key takeaways: • Head and neck cancers are uniquely positions to respond to immune modulation. • TILs, TCRs, and CAR-T represent the most common cell therapy approaches—thus far with modest results. • New advancements in these arenas will hopefully improve overall survival and quality of life. #MoffittASCO26

While at #ASCO26, I spoke with Dr. Monica Avila (@MAvilaMD), gynecologic oncologist @Moffittnews, about her work advancing care for patients with gynecologic malignancies. Dr. Avila specializes in complex surgical approaches, including minimally invasive techniques, and has a strong interest in HPV-driven malignancies. #ASCO26 #MoffittASCO26
