KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story |
If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

Casdatifan for the Treatment of Refractory Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Kidney (Renal Cell)
Kidney (Renal Cell)
This is a single-institution, pilot study of oral casdatifan, a selective HIF-2 inhibitor, in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma refractory to prior IO- and VEGF-based therapies. This phase I trial evaluates the effects of casdatifan on certain genes linked to kidney cancer growth and tests it for the treatment of clear cell renal cell cancer that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic).
Casdatifan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
