๐ Congratulations to MSK radiation oncologists Dr. Christopher Barker, Dr. Daphna Gelblum, and Dr. Abraham Wu on being named 2026 ASTRO Fellows, recognizing their contributions to radiation oncology! #ASTRO2026
The FDA recently approved a targeted therapy called lirafugratinib (Lyrfigtu) for people with advanced cholangiocarcinoma that has a genetic change called an FGFR2 fusion.
The clinical trial that resulted in the drugโs approval was led by MSK's Dr. Alison Schram.
Join us in NYC or virtually on Oct. 8โ9 to explore advances and key questions across the continuum of #ProstateCancer care, featuring tumor boards, panel discussions, and debates with multidisciplinary experts from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social and other leading institutions. ๐ bit.ly/Prostate2026CME
To all #MSKPostdocs - THANK YOU for your significant contributions to the @mskcancercenter.bsky.social research community! MSK-PDA we are proud to celebrate you!

The laboratory findings potentially pave the way for new approaches against immunotherapy-resistant tumors, as well as for a host of other fibrotic and inflammatory diseases. Learn more: bit.ly/4rK5dgW
MSK scientists from the Scott Lowe Lab and the Daniel Heller Lab engineered nanoparticles to target cells driving scarring around many liver and lung tumors. In mice, this reduced scarring and helped immunotherapy shrink tumors that resisted treatment.
Join MSK experts Oct. 2, at ET for a complimentary virtual symposium on multidisciplinary care for pediatric brain and spinal tumors.
Participants will hear practical updates on the latest advances in multidisciplinary neuro-oncology care. Learn more and register: https://bit.ly/4xTYrGQ
The FDA has approved the drug belzutifan in combination with lenvatinib for patients with a type of #kidneycancer called clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
The approval was based on a clinical trial led by Dr. Robert Motzer, a genitourinary medical oncologist at MSK. https://bit.ly/4hiaiJO

Researchers in Dr. Agnel Sfeirโs lab at MSK identified a hidden structural weakness in rogue DNA found in aggressive cancers.
In lab studies, blocking the protein that repairs this DNA caused it to become unstable and gradually disappear from cancer cells.
