Honored to work with @GeorgeVasmatzis on this exciting individualized tool to track #gbm. #braintumorawarenessmonth
A Mayo Clinic study suggests that a personalized blood test tailored to each patient's tumor DNA could provide a faster and less invasive way to determine if the cancer is advancing. Learn more: mayocl.in/3RIw0ck

Congrats to Cecile @CRivièreCazaux representing our @MayoClinicNeuro team at 2022 @EANS Congress: Can CSF biomarkers empower #glioma espionage? Thanks to our amazing patient pioneers with Ommaya reservoirs: helping us learn and cure #braintumors faster!

Big thanks to @IvyFoundation for supporting this grant: “Individualized CSF Proteomics for Real-Time Glioma Espionage.” Why must patients die to know if an experimental drug works (current status quo)? We suggest harness CSF for actionable answers while patients are still alive!

If you are interested in reading what made an immigrant neurosurgeon like me fall in love with the US, and my thoughts on #racism #georgefloyd #lebanon #war and the social turmoil that is tearing the US apart, here is my essay published in JNS today. Peace doi.org/10.3171/2020.7.JNS20…

Social media enables anyone with an internet connection to try and drown out the voice of actual experts. Facts, evidence, and experience matter. But their perceived value is declining. Our lives and society may depend on restoring expert’s voices. thefederalist.com/2014/01/17…

Humbling-Negative results rarely get published. What actually gets published is a biased corner of reality. This selection bias makes published results look 3x better than real truth. Critical & easy fix: Pre-register studies! #openscience #mayoclinic #gbm nature.com/articles/s41562-0…
Collaborative science. Could there be more of it if we ditched traditional first and last authors? nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Optimal patient care is a team effort—from pathologists and molecular geneticists to monitoring teams, and many others whose efforts behind the scenes changes lives. Thank you to our great team from one of my super-inspiring patients. sharing.mayoclinic.org/2019/…

Brain tumors have a tragic way of finding the most inspiring people! Awake brain surgery is a collaboration of trust between provider team and the patient. But the most critical member of the team may be unseen. #GBM #Grace #mayoclinicneuro sharing.mayoclinic.org/2019/…
