Check out @LunaStockmann’s amazing explanation of her research, why her research question is so important, and what she’s doing to help uncover kinder cancer treatments.
🔬 How do a sniffer dog and a detective inspire smarter, kinder cancer treatments?
@LunaStockmann's OvaLoad project is bringing us closer to new, better, smarter, kinder, and more effective ways to treat ovarian cancer.

A new ADC is now available to treat the most common subtype of breast cancer.
Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), which targets Trop2 and delivers DXd, is approved for pretreated patients with HR+/HER2- MBC, after outperforming chemo in the #TB01 trial.

Thanks go to @gerryhanna for organising this research retreat. It’s brilliant to have so many experts in radiation oncology across the island in one room. Thankful for the opportunity to present some of our work.
Great work @LunaStockmann. This pre-clinical ovarian cancer work was possible thanks to @IrishResearch @BreakthroCancer and @CCRTIreland
I am happy to present my research on olaparib resistant ovarian cancer at the @IGCSociety 2024 Annual Meeting in Dublin this week!
