We’re basically out of capacity. Growing demand for complex cancer care is why expanded access in Redwood City matters now. brnw.ch/21x3iTR

This center brings that breadth of world-class science together under one roof for the benefit of patients locally and globally.
A proposed cancer center in Redwood City would combine patient care and research. The city will receive a formal updated project description, and Stanford Medicine will host two community webinars. brnw.ch/21x3f0A

SCI member Mindie Nguyen & colleagues found cfDNA HelioLiver Dx blood test outperforms ultrasound for early #HepatocellularCarcinoma detection, showing superior sensitivity and non-inferior specificity vs MRI gold standard. brnw.ch/21x30mb

SCI member Beth Beadle & others report that in p16 #OropharyngealCancer, quality of life outcomes at 6 months were similar for accelerated radiation with cisplatin or cetuximab, with persistent issues in dry mouth, sticky saliva, and senses. brnw.ch/21x2JOy

SCI member Chris Garcia & others use catch-bond engineering to enhance weak TCRs, boosting TCR potency against prostate cancer antigens while maintaining specificity. This strategy could overcome immune tolerance and improve TCR-based #CancerImmunotherapy. brnw.ch/21x2D6I

SCI member @SurbhiSidanaMD & others found that high #BCMA expression at baseline predicts better outcomes with BCMA CAR-T therapy in #MultipleMyeloma. However, BCMA expression often decreases at relapse, which may impact future treatment strategies. brnw.ch/21x272Z
