Published today in @Nature: A new Fred Hutch study using a first-in-kind rapid autopsy program shows details of metastatic bladder cancer subtypes; could improve diagnosis and future treatment. bit.ly/4xrNFra
@pushpa_itagi @HsiehLab @GavinHa @DrOmarMian
This work was led by @GavinHa , @HsiehLab, Ming Lam, and @DrOmarMian, involving 5-years of tissue collection followed by 5-years of analysis. The UW/Fred Hutch Rapid Autopsy Program was founded by Drs. @JLWrightMD, Bruce Montgomery, Ming Lam, Funda Vakar-Lopez, @HsiehLab
Ever wonder how heterogeneity defines bladder cancer subtypes?
Ha and Hsieh Lab postdoctoral fellows @pushpa_itagi and Samantha Schuster @fredhutch did, leading to a deep study of bladder cancer clonality, evolution, and heterogeneity published @Nature

In a step toward a #liquidbiopsy for small cell #lungcancer, a Fred Hutch team led @DMacPhersonLab and @GavinHa have developed an approach that can distinguish several #SCLC subtypes from blood samples. bit.ly/3TUvFUr

So excited to share our work on tumor genomes of African ancestry in common cancers. We report several actionable associations, including a novel ancestry-smoking interaction impacts TP53 rate. More discoveries to come if we improve diversity in genomics! cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltex…
Congrats to Robert Patton for being awarded the @PCF_Science 2023 Young Investigator Award & achieving the top scoring application! Honored to be his co-mentor with PeteNelson. #PCFRetreat23

Have you ever wondered if 3’UTR point mutations found in cancer patients matter? We’re excited to share our new publication out today @CellReports, where we’ve defined how prostate tumor 3’UTR mutations affect molecular & cellular oncogenicity. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… 1/n

Can an integrative approach reliably detect urine tumor DNA in localized #bladdercancer patients?
We addressed this in our latest paper, out now in @Nature_npj Precision Oncology.
