A Decade of Discovery Became Ellen’s Lifeline – Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center shared a post on LinkedIn:

“In 2014, Dr. David Solit, a physician-scientist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), set out to decode the mutations that drive a rare type of ovarian cancer. Nearly 10 years later, that laboratory work became Ellen’s lifeline.

Facing a hard to treat diagnosis that resisted standard care, Ellen joined a clinical trial led by MSK gynecological oncologist Dr. Rachel Grisham, based on Dr. Solit’s discovery a decade ago.

The results were dramatic. Within four months of taking a drug targeting the mutation, Ellen’s cancer had shrunk by 70%.
