I had the pleasure of meeting w/ @ASCO staff last week in which I introduced my presidential theme for 2025-2026:

"The Science and Practice of Translation: Improving Cancer Outcomes Worldwide."

Excited to roll this out over the course of the year, and of course, at #ASCO26!

Legend. It's the first word that comes to mind when I think of Stephen J. Forman, MD @cityofhope. He made massive contributions to the world of #BMT as the field came into being & continued on to become a pioneer in CAR-T for both liquid & solid tumors. An inspiration to all clinical scientists out there! Please have a listen ... @stacywgray @leowanglab @ArmenianSaro @DrEdKim @vandenBrinkLab @DrRaviSalgia @DaniCastilloMD @gagan_brar24 @matt_cw_lee @mgfakih @hoperugo @arafflemd @charlesbnguyen @ClaytonLauMD @COHurol @WesleyYipMD

Two articles published in one week - what a week! 🔥 Does metastatic-directed RT improve outcomes in #oligoprogressive #MBC? ⚡60% of patients with oligoprogressive MBC remained on the same systemic therapy for at least 6 months post-MDRT 💥This suggests that MDRT may help prolong systemic therapy duration for select patients Read here: mdpi.com/2072-6694/17/13/215… @yoonie_verse @DocGlaser @cityofhope @COHMedOnc @Cancers_MDPI @MDPIOpenAccess #MDRT #oligoprogression #breastcancer
