Encouraging news coming out of the Annual @AACR Meeting this year! AZD-1390, combined with IMRT treatment brought hope to 21 glioblastoma patients, pushing median survival rates up to 12.7 months. Read more here: bit.ly/3JhhTGM. #Glioblastoma#CancerResearch
The #SontagFoundation strives to advance #braincancerresearch by empowering scientists with access to financial and leadership tools. Through our network these researchers are able to form connections that lead to collaborations in pursuit of bold and innovative research ideas.
Since its launch ten years ago, @BTNcares has become a major, treasured resource for patients, families & caregivers across the country who are in need of personalized information and support following a diagnosis of brain cancer. Click here to learn more: bit.ly/3wzueD0
Every year the #SontagFoundation community grows. As @JianHu_Neural said, we have a family-like environment, one that keeps our alumni returning for the Scientific Retreat, but more importantly, develops meaningful relationships of support and collaboration throughout the year.
While attending the @AACR Annual Meeting, the #SontagFoundation and @SontagFund team was able to visit with our portfolio company, @KIYATEC, as they promoted their 3D-Predict technology, a promising tool which can help accelerate the drug development process. #AACR24
As the @AACR Annual Meeting comes to a close, we are proud to introduce you to Zulekha Qadeer, the 2023 AACR-Sontag Foundation Brain Cancer Research Fellow. We look forward to witnessing the progress in cancer research & healthcare that this community will achieve! #AACR24
Our team had a great day at #AACR24. Ryan Flynn, DSA recipient, gave a lecture, there were dogs to pet, and Scott Davis was turned into a macaroon! Jokes aside, it has already been inspiring to witness the collective dedication to making a difference in the fight against cancer.
Looking back on the Sontag Scientific Retreat, we had the pleasure of hosting the incredible "Hoot" Gibson as our guest speaker. His tales of space exploration captivated everyone, while motivating and encouraging our scientists to reach for new heights!
Scott Davis and Shandra Koler are attending the @AACR Annual Meeting this week. This meeting serves as a central gathering for the #CancerResearch community to exchange the newest developments in cancer science and medicine from institutions all over the world.
Every scientist has a story. We appreciate Dr. Van Rechem and the other researchers at the Scientific Retreat who generously shared their stories with us. Your openness and inspiration are truly valued. Thank you for all you do!
#SontagFoundation#BrainCancer#CancerResearch
As #NationalWomensMonth comes to a close, we want to thank all the women who work for our sister company, @BTNcares. Their commitment to guiding patients and caregivers through every phase of brain tumor care with personalized one-on-one options and support, is truly inspiring!
Exciting advancements in cancer research! Early trial outcomes from six patients with recurrent #glioblastoma show promise in advancing the development of effective and long-lasting therapies for solid tumors such as #GBM. 🧠

Exciting news! Two separate studies investigated the impact of personalized immunotherapy on patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Three patients showed rapid responses to the treatment offering hope for future advancements in the field. Read more here: nbcnews.to/3TCROIe
Reflecting on our Scientific Retreat discussion panels and the collaborative conversations we have when we gather together. We are thankful for everyone's insights and support for this community as we navigate the field of brain cancer research. #SontagFoundation
Gov. Maura Healey will address UMass Chan Medical School’s Classes of 2024 June 2. Ann Kurth, PhD, RN, MPH; Frederick Sontag, MS, MBA; and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, will receive honorary degrees: direc.to/k7TM#UMassChan2024@MassGovernor@DrTedros@sontagfdn
Celebrating the remarkable women on Sontag's Advisory Board during Women's History Month! With their valuable perspectives, we look forward to learning from their wealth of experience as we strive for bold and innovative research initiatives to push brain cancer research forward!
