Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and the Sloan Kettering Institute — MSK's experimental research arm — explores novel predictors of immunotherapy effectiveness against lung cancer; identifies how a high-fat diet hinders intestinal damage repair; reports findings from a clinical trial for people with androgen receptor-positive salivary gland cancer; and aims to understand the impact of tumor mutational burden on patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
