For three students who participated in our Oncology Summer Internship Program, the meaning is personalâdriving them to pursue careers in medicine. Medical students Ellen W. Essien, Salvador Aguirre, and Fabiola Geralna Pierre shared their experiences with us. #ASCOHealthEquity Read their stories: https://brnw.ch/21wOBP5

A new study at a large U.S. health system has found that routine comprehensive genomic profiling, or CGP, at the time of diagnosis can greatly increase the use of precision therapies among patients with advanced cancer and improve their overall survival. Among more than 3,200 patients with advanced cancer whose biopsies were tested using an in-house CGP assay, two-thirds had âactionableâ biomarkers, meaning they were candidates for guideline-recommended targeted therapy or immunotherapy or for clinical trials testing precision therapies. âThat was pretty striking,â said co-author Dr. Brian Piening, of the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute at the Providence Cancer Institute. âThe majority of patients could potentially be treated with a therapy that was not just chemo.â ASCO Daily News has more on this new study, recently published as part of a special series in JCO Oncology Practice: https://brnw.ch/21wOBmf #JCOOP
