In metastatic renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic spread is associated with improved survival.

Here, James Brugarolas @JBrugarolas & team @KCPUTSW @UTSWMedCenter determine that pancreatic #metastases arise predominantly from indolent clones within primary #RCC and exhibit distinct molecular and histological features, clinical behavior, and treatment responsiveness.
The figure shows pancreatic metastasis sample with high angiogenesis, indicated by deep learning vascular mask (red).

A wonderful 🧵 from @NCIDirector Dr. Kim Rathmell on a successful career in #kidneycancer coinciding with Kidney Cancer Awareness month! What an amazing role model for physician scientists. @KidneyCancer @kcCURE @kidneycan @utswcancer @KCPUTSW
Before coming to @theNCI, I was a physician-scientist who worked in all aspects of #KidneyCancer. I studied this cancer in the lab and clinic, where I also cared for patients.
You might ask, why did I choose to focus on kidney cancer in my career? #KidneyCancerAwarenessMonth 1/
