Very excited to welcome four outstanding new faculty to the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology @DanaFarber
1) Dr. Nazli Dizman @NazliDizman
2) Dr. Brian Russell @brian_russell39
3) Dr. Hamid Emamekhoo @HamidEmamekhoo
4) Pr. Neeraj Agarwal @neerajaiims
They bring complementary expertise spanning clinical investigation, microbiome science, informatics, quality improvement, education, and GU oncology.
Hamid and Neeraj will also take on important broader institutional leadership roles @DanaFarber and @Harvard Cancer Consortium @df_hcc
We are fortunate to have them—and the @DanaFarber_GU and our patients are in very good hands.
Welcome to @CityOfBoston and @DanaFarber!

🎉Beyond thrilled to have joined and to be working with the incredible @DrChoueiri et al @DanaFarber!
A very special thank you to @montypal for his tremendous mentorship and support! And many thanks to all the other mentors who have helped me along the way 🙏
😅 Looking back as a PGY-14, it only took two internal medicine residencies, a few research years, and an oncology fellowship to get here. But I enjoyed every bit of the journey and met so many incredible people!!

JUST IN: @FDA approves RAS inhibitor Daraxonrasib in pancreatic cancer. Our @DanaFarber own Dr Brian Wolpin presented the data @ASCO 2026 annual meeting !

Nineteen years ago, I joined Dana-Farber—with a little more hair and far fewer meetings!
I’m deeply grateful to the patients who trusted me and to the colleagues, trainees, and teams who made this journey so meaningful. What a privilege—and what a ride!
Great insights from Dr. @nlinmd at #SNOASCO2026:
-CNS mets can harbor distinct biology not captured by the primary.
-CSF ctDNA may provide a more sensitive window into CNS disease vs plasma.
-Lack of penetration across intact BBB does not necessarily predict lack of CNS activity.

Brilliant keynote from @HendriksLizza - ‘Breaking Barriers, Redefining Brain Metastases Treatment Concepts” at #snoasco2026
-identifying pts at high risk
-optimizing tx and sequencing
-access- trials, molecular testing, drugs, knowledge
-multiD teamwork and collaborations
Kicking off #SNOASCO2026 in Boston with the Early Career Professionals & Young Investigators Workshop!
Looking forward to a great meeting! 🧠

I always enjoy talks from @MikeSerzanMD @DanaFarber who offers an excellent overview of #ASCO26 abstracts at #KCRS26. Excellent overview of radio pharmaceuticals for #kidneycancer incl data from RADICALS (@DrRanaMcKay @UCSDCancer); appreciate the shoutout for LUTEON. Great discussion as well of selection criteria for adjuvant therapy.
Really glad to see brain metastases receiving dedicated attention at #KCRS26. Kudos to @ReneeSaliby and @kidneycan for bringing this session together and helping shine a spotlight on one of the biggest unmet needs in RCC.
Delighted to see the first brain metastases session in RCC at #KCRS26
The idea came to me from caring for patients with these complications on the oncology wards.
Grateful to have helped bring this session together, and hoping it ultimately benefits our patients.

2) Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) in 1L TNBC by @stolaney1

Research led by @DrChoueiri supports the recent @FDA approval of pembrolizumab-belzutifan combination for higher-risk clear cell kidney cancer after surgery. Read more: bit.ly/44bjLLs
It won’t be the same without @MarcMachaalani @RazaneHChehade. You’ll be missed.
Hard to believe that these 2 super-stars Drs. @RazaneHChehade @MarcMachaalani are moving on after an amazing 3-yr postdoc fellowships in the @DanaFarber_GU labs
Both @PittPediatrics and @YaleIMed are very lucky to have you! Please don’t become @steelers fan or @Yale 🏈 fan!

Hard to believe that @RazaneHChehade is moving on after a productive postdoc fellowship in the lab. Best of luck on your next steps - @PittPediatrics is very fortunate to have you, and I can't wait to see what you accomplish next!
