An Overview of the St. Jude Cloud Data-Sharing Resource
Scott Newman, PhD, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, discusses the St. Jude Cloud data-sharing resource for the research community.
Scott Newman, PhD, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, discusses the St. Jude Cloud data-sharing resource for the research community.
The St. Jude Cloud was created to solve the problem of data sharing in pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases. As many in the field are moving toward whole genome sequencing, the amount and volume of data has increased exponentially, Newman says.
A whole genome sequence from a human is about 100 gigabytes in a BAM file. There are now BAM files from thousands of individuals, and it’s becoming unrealistic for researchers to download this much data onto their computer. Newman explains the St. Jude Cloud will remove the need for the data to be downloaded.
Imlunestrant Improves PFS in ESR1-Mutant Advanced Breast Cancer
December 13th 2024The phase 3 EMBER-3 trial showed imlunestrant improved PFS over SOC endocrine therapy in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with ESR1 mutations, though not significantly in the overall population.

ctDNA Detection Tied to Tumor Burden, Recurrence in HR+ Early Breast Cancer
December 13th 2024A phase 2 trial showed ctDNA detection in HR-positive early breast cancer was linked to larger tumors, higher residual cancer burden, and increased recurrence after neoadjuvant endocrine therapy.

Postoperative Radiation Improves HRQOL Over Endocrine Therapy in Breast Cancer
December 13th 2024In the phase 3 EUROPA trial, exclusive postoperative radiation therapy led to better health-related quality of life and fewer treatment-related adverse events in older patients with stage I luminal-like breast cancer at 24 months.
