Cancer research is entering a new era in which genetic information and artificial intelligence can help doctors understand diseases in greater detail. Dr. Dan Landau, a physician-scientist and cancer researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, is helping advance this approach. His work focuses on understanding how cancer develops, identifying changes in cancer […]
Cancer treatment increasingly relies on understanding the biological characteristics of an individual patient’s disease. Dr. Amir Iravani, a nuclear medicine physician-scientist at UCLA Health, specializes in molecular imaging and targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy. His work focuses on helping clinicians identify which patients may benefit from specific treatments and how those therapies can be better tailored to […]
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer that can be difficult to treat, particularly when the disease returns after an initial response to therapy.
