A recent paper describing a neuroimmune circuit that connects painful inflammation to enhanced GC responses in the spleen has @ElissaDeenick @GarvanInstitute @KirbyInstitute & me in awe! Please see our Research Highlight @cell_res & tweetorial below. 1/5

Not just the tumour draining lymph node. Please consider local and systemic effects of treatment on the whole extra-tumour immune microenvironment. The EXTRA-TIME includes TDLN, bone marrow, skeleton and metastatic sites. Everything is connected!

Australian researchers believe they've found a way to improve the lives of patients suffering from bone cancer. In a world first breakthrough, painful fractures are being reduced, thanks to an innovative osteoporosis drug. youtu.be/BLHv-eToKPY @AngeliqueOpie7 #7NEWS

Dear Chemo, we need to talk…
What if therapies used to control primary tumor growth increase the likelihood of metastatic relapse?
And how do they impact disseminated cells that have already seeded distant organs at diagnosis?
Why do we need to understand EXTRA-TIME....

Excited to contribute to April Issue @CD_AACR. Led by @c_chaffer & Peter Croucher @GarvanInstitute & Kathy Weilbaecher & Rebecca Aft @WUSTLmed we ask does chemoRx promote metastases through effects on immune microenvironments outside tumour ie EXTRA-TIME?

Looking forward to this book launch!
Dad's first-hand account of history is filled with wisdom & compassion filtered thru Vietnamese proverbs & folk tales. As history repeats, it is a reminder of the restorative power of love, family & values to heal & dream of a better life for eeryone.
