With the development and broader adaptation of NGS, we now know that a variety of soft tissue sarcomas harbor receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) fusions. (3/19)
So begins our 🧵of #sarcoma info - we'll add to it this week. Thank you to our contributors, patient and healthcare provider alike.

Q1: Is there MDT discussion for every sarcoma patient?
A1: Yes, ordinarily there is or should be. Occasionally, if an emergency decision has to be made, the patient will be discussed with other MDT members outside of the regular meeting.

Today, I'm beginning my 5th year of living with stage 4 cancer.
Three years ago today, I was diagnosed with metastatic #leiomyosarcoma.
Four years ago tomorrow, I was misdiagnosed (the primary tumor in my thigh was dx'd as a DVT; the tiny nodules in my lungs were dismissed as benign scar tissue).

So now I've been living with #stage4cancer for (at least) four years, but I've only known I was living with it for three.
In this thread, I will compile my medical illustrations in oncology and #RadOnc.
Many are from textbook w @DanTrifMD

based on @ARRO_org study guide for board exams.
A picture is worth 1000 words.
Here is oncology in a few pics.

1. My great thanks to @sandrapdangelo & @WTapMD for elaborating on the $250,000 grant they got from @CureSarcoma for uterine #leiomyosarcoma. curesarcoma.org/uterine-leiomy… Their research will help people with other #sarcoma subtypes, too. more ...
2. @sandrapdangelo says grant will go toward 2 immunotherapy #ClinicalTrials. She hopes the first will open @sloan_kettering in late spring. The first will combine a CSF-1R (DCC-3014 deciphera.com/pipeline/dcc-3…) with #avelumab (#Bavencio en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avelumab). more ...
3. @sandrapdangelo doesn't know when the second #ClinicalTrial will open, but it will combine a PARP inhibitor (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARP_inhi…) an immunotherapy drug that has not been chosen yet. "Other #sarcoma subtypes will be allowed to enroll," not just #leiomyosarcoma. more ...
