Razelle Kurzrock: If it’s a solid tumor target, it may be a heme target

Razelle Kurzrock, Associate Director of Clinical Research for the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center, shared a post on X, about a recent paper by her and colleagues published in Med Journal.

“Our newest perspective.

If it’s a solid tumor target, it may be a heme target. Tissue is not the issue!

Bridge the Great Divide!

Prime example. BRAF v600E is found in ~100% of hairy cell leukemia; they all respond to BRAF inhibitors.”

“If it is a solid tumor target, then it may be a hematologic cancer target: Bridging the great divide”
