Thrilled to publish the results of the ROADS trial for newly dx’d brain mets requiring surgery. The results define a new standard. Congrats Dr. Beckham and all co-authors! @jco_asco

Pituitary carcinoma is rare, aggressive, and notoriously difficult to manage. We report our 30-year surgical experience with 20 patients - one of the largest single-institution series to date.

Read how the results of the ROADS trial impacts patient care. @asco #asco2026 @brandon_imber @Dr_N_Moss @KimberlyBHoang @patelnv @AlexandraPaulMD @NSTumorSection @LindseySloan19 #oncsurgery @HTawbi_MDPhD #endcancer
After joining a clinical trial for a new tile-based form of brachytherapy at UT MD Anderson, Stacy Dixon is now cancer-free following stage 4 melanoma with brain metastases.
Research presented at #ASCO26 highlights how this approach may help improve treatment for patients with brain metastases. spr.ly/6012B8dH0i #EndCancer @DrJeffWeinberg
Great to see @UTMDAnderson Neurosurgery leadership @FrederickLangMD discussing hope for glioblastoma with Dr. Jim
Allison at #AANS2026 #oncsurgery #endcancer
@FrederickLangMD interview with Dr. Jim Allison on his Nobel prize winning work on CTLA4 checkpoint inhibitors that cure previously fatal cancers like melanoma. Inspirational work that gives us hope for curing the currently fatal GBM @UTMDAnderson @txbraintrust @AANSNeuro

Congrats to @ChibaEne_MDPhD and the @UTMDAnderson team, who presented their work at #AACR26! The lab focuses on spatial multiomics to improve glioma treatment. #oncsurgery #endcancer
First succeesful Lab showing at AACR 2026, an oral presentation on translating spatial multiomics discoveries into better treatments for gliomas and a poster on FLASH radiotherapy for gliomas. Grateful for an amazing team and supportive collaborators @UTMDAnderson @txbraintrust

Neurosurgery’s @BettyKimLab found a way to improve immunotherapy response in glioblastoma models. Learn more about the #oncsurgery research to #endcancer at @UTMDAnderson ⬇️
New data from UT MD Anderson researchers found that blocking both CD47 and CD24 proteins heightened the immunotherapy response in GBM models.
What's next for this approach: spr.ly/6017B6K8Ah @BettyKimLab #EndCancer

Four exceptional scientists have been appointed to the James P. Allison Institute at UT MD Anderson.
They bring expertise in immune therapy resistance, cancer vaccines, bioengineering, tumor evolution and drug development: spr.ly/6011hN6cc #EndCancer @BettyKimLab @hojong_yoon
Neurosurgery Grand Rounds at @MDAndersonNews kicked off this morning with @HTawbi_MD, melanoma and brain metastasis expert. As usual, we had a full house; residents and fellows were engaged in discussion all morning! #oncsurgery #endcancer

The Broach Foundation exists to fund novel research advancing the prevention, treatment, and cure of brain cancer.
Brain cancer is an extraordinarily challenging disease.
Together we can find a cure for brain cancer! Join us!

Congrats @ChristinaAFaraj! Check out the latest brain tumor research from Neurosurgery @MDAndersonNews #oncsurgery #endcancer ⬇️
Just published! 💫 In supratentorial high-grade gliomas, ventricle entry during resection did not increase leptomeningeal metastasis risk or worsen survival - tumor ependymal contact is the key driver.

Excited to share the latest research on #gbm from @ChibaEne_MDPhD and @FrederickLangMD. Neurosurgery at @MDAndersonNews is making progress for our patients #oncsurgery #endcancer ⬇️
MD Anderson researchers found that adding an immune booster to a cancer-targeting virus increased survival for some patients with glioblastoma and helped identify blood biomarkers in patients most likely to benefit: spr.ly/6019hObV5 @FrederickLangMD #EndCancer
Excited to welcome Dr. Hideho Okada of @UCSF to @MDAndersonNews yesterday! He presented his work on T-cell -based immunotherapy strategies for malignant gliomas to a large group of Brain Tumor Center researchers and students—Q&A went overtime!#oncsurgery #endcancer
