- On May 11 at 7pm at the Soho Playhouse (15 Vandam Street) in New York City, many of Broadway’s youngest stars will be performing as part of Songs4Sloan, a benefit concert presented by Abbey Rose Gould and Presley Ryan to benefit pediatric cancer research at MSK.
- On April 12, MSK’s Patricia Skarulis delivered a keynote address at the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives spring forum in Chicago. MSK’s ever-evolving cybersecurity strategy was discussed, which currently includes a two-factor authentication for email and various initiatives to reduce the risk of having employees fall prey to increasingly sophisticated phishing schemes.
- In an April 14 Annals of Internal Medicine paper, MSK’s Dr. Andrew Vickers, PhD, and Dr. David Kent of Tufts Medical Center argued that there may be a need for more individualized recommendations when it comes to screening and prevention as most individuals have below average risk and may experience more harm than benefit from unwarranted screenings.
- From April 22-24, MSK will be the meeting site for a workshop hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). In attendance will be 100 international experts on small cell lung cancer who will discuss the current state of knowledge in this field with the goal of developing a “roadmap for future research and clinical trials for patients with this disease”.
