Last week, Dr. Patricia Ganz from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Healthp, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, presented an overview of her research investigating long-term and late effects of treatment for breast cancer in a talk entitled, “‘Not Just Tired’: The Biology of Fatigue and Cognitive Changes after Breast Cancer Treatment.” She then met with DCEG scientists at all levels to talk about opportunities, challenges, and strategic approaches to survivorship research. https://go.nih.gov/

Promising work from Lee Mason, predoctoral fellow in DCEG!
For many, the cost of healthcare in the US can feel like a barrier to accessing the proper medical care that they need. Lee Mason, a graduate student at The National Institutes of Health is hoping to help change that with an #AI program that can help people learn about the prices of medical treatments. Learn how his ‘MedicaidGPT’ tool is helping to increase transparency around healthcare costs: https://go.nih.gov/uLRld2v #NIH_IRP

Congrats to Lisa McReynolds (bottom right)! We're lucky to have such an accomplished scholar working with us.
Meet the newest NIH Lasker Scholars: Drs. Chris Grunseich at National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Lisa McReynolds at National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics, Samira Sadowski at NCI Center for Cancer Research, and andrea lisco at National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) are early-career physician-scientists who are working on new discoveries that could one day improve their patients’ lives. From investigating the roots of muscle-weakening genetic conditions to probing the mysteries of rare, hormone-producing tumors, learn about the cutting-edge research that each scholar is working on: https://go.nih.gov/YRsK6J2 #NIH_IRP

New web-based tool, developed by Dr. Eric Engels and colleagues, provides estimates that a colorectal cancer patient will not die from their cancer in the next five years, calculated both at the time of their cancer diagnosis and updated to accommodate the passage of time since their cancer diagnosis. The authors illustrate how these probabilities can inform organ transplant guidelines and help clinicians decide when it is safe to offer a transplant for individual patients with a history of colorectal cancer. https://lnkd.in/eQBBhCwt

This study sets the stage for incredible work in the Pediatric Proton and Photon Therapy Comparison Cohort! Congratulations to Sergio Morató Rafet, Keith Griffin, Monjoy Saha, Choonsik Lee, and Matthew Mille on your publication!
?? Excited to share our latest research! ?? I’m thrilled to announce the publication of our new paper:?"?????????????????? ?????????????????? ???? ??????????????-???????? ?????????????????? ???? ?????? ??????????-???????? ?????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???? ???????????????????????? ????????????????." This work represents a significant step in advancing dose estimation techniques to support both pediatric radiotherapy care and epidemiological studies. By improving whole-body organ dose assessments, we aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of long-term health outcomes in this vulnerable population. A heartfelt thank you to the NCI Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute (NCI) for their incredible support and resources, which made this work possible. Being part of such a dedicated and innovative community inspires me every day.

A new lung cancer prediction model that includes genetic risk is poised to improve patient engagement and decision-making around lung cancer prevention.?The international team of researchers, including Haoyu Zhang, was motivated by research suggesting that patients may be more likely to engage in cessation medication therapy and lung cancer screening when they are aware of their genetic risk for lung cancer. Importantly, the model was developed and tested using data from individuals from diverse genetic ancestries, leading to equitable and accurate risk assessments. It is being evaluated in two clinical trials to assess whether this personalized approach improves adherence to preventive healthcare and outcomes in primary care.
