Osteosarcoma is so overwhelmingly good at overcoming current treatments that it may just take a rocket scientist to help defeat it. Theresa Beech is exactly that space engineer who is making progress toward understanding the genetics behind the relapsed form of the deadly disease. And […]
The OSTEO TRIAL IS A GO!!!!! Nov 15-16, there were about 20 osteosarcoma docs from around the US in DC for a 2 day meeting to hammer out the outline for a series of trials for osteosarcoma based on tumor genetics. After lots of talks, […]
From Theresa Beech: I’m just back from CTOS, the Connective Tissue Oncology Society Annual Meeting. CTOS is the largest international sarcoma research conference with over 1000 sarcoma docs and researchers attending. I was there presenting two posters on osteosarcoma genomics. The presentation on POWR, the […]
Theresa Beech is on her way to the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) Annual Meeting, the most important international sarcoma research conference. She will be presenting on POWR, the Patient/parent Osteosarcoma genome-Wide Registry. This is apparently the first time a cancer parent has been invited […]
