1/4 Last week was an exciting one for @pmcancercentre CDI program at the @AACR conference! This year’s focus: The transformative role of AI in oncology—from imaging innovations to foundation models shaping the future of #precisiononcology 👇 Check out our team’s highlights:
🚨🚨🚨 We are activating this single-arm phase 2 trial of hypofractionated RT to oligoprogressive metastatic #melanoma, up to 10 lesions + extensive specimen collection for correlatives. There's an unmet need in this area - hope results of the trial will benefit more patients.

Single-cell Transcriptional Atlas of Human Hematopoiesis Reveals Genetic and Hierarchy-Based Determinants of Aberrant AML Differentiation: brnw.ch/21wU8hL @andygxzeng @PMResearch_UHN #AMLsm
Most #cancer cells aren’t able to propagate tumours—but a rare few can. Using genetic barcodes, a team @PMResearch_UHN tracked these rare clones—revealing how they evolve, adapt, and resist treatment. A step toward more targeted cancer therapies. 🔗: uhnresearch.ca/news/rare-canc…
