GTF2I Mutations as a Genetic Marker for Prognosis of Thymic Malignancies
Abstract: Thymoma and thymic carcinomas are a rare and poorly understood group of malignancies.   Despite the growing number of biomarkers that are used for diagnosing and treating carcinomas in general, cancers of the thymus are still diagnosed, stratified and treated by a costly combination of histology, surgery and radiological procedures.  The lack...

Humanized Mouse Model to Study Mesothelin (MSLN) -targeted Cancer Therapeutics: Bl6/TPO Mice
Abstract: Mesothelin (MSLN) is an antigen highly expressed in several human cancers including mesotheliomas, ovarian cancers and pancreatic cancers. As such, human MSLN (hMSLN) is a target for many anti-cancer drugs. Most therapeutics targeting hMSLN do not recognize the mouse isoform of MSLN (mMSLN) and therefore cannot be tested in mouse cancer models.  Investigators...

Stratifying the risk of malignancy in indeterminate thyroid nodules
Project ID D2019-45 Background Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer globally, and accounts for 3.4% of all new cancer cases in the US. Although several clinical guidelines to detect/manage thyroid nodules are available, a great deal of controversy still exists around the optimal approach for diagnosis. Approximately 20-30% of cytology...
