Landmark rectal cancer trial results: @memorialsloankettering Cancer Center made headlines — and history — as medical oncologists Andrea Cercek, MD, Section Head of Colorectal Cancer and Co-Director of the Center for Young Onset Colorectal and Gastrointestinal Cancer, and Luis Alberto Diaz, Jr., MD, Head of the Division of Solid Tumor Oncology and Grayer Family Chair, shared the remarkable results of a clinical trial for rectal cancer at the annual meeting of the @ascocancer .In a small study of people with locally advanced disease, a single immunotherapy drug eliminated all evidence of cancer in every patient within six months. More than two years later, the group remains healthy. This is the first trial in cancer history in which every patient achieved complete remission, and the results may impact the standard of care for some types of rectal cancer. The study was published in The New England Journal of Medicine. @nejm #ASCO2022 #MMRd #immunotherapy #oncology #clinicalresearch ... See MoreSee Less

DR. ARA MANOUGIAN: COMMEMORATING 50 YEARS OF COMPASSIONATE CARE! The entire AAHPO family congratulates Ara Manougian, MD, on his remarkable 50th year as a practicing physician. 🩺 It is only fitting that Dr. Manougian earned his Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Oklahoma on May 28, 1972: the same day as Republic Day in Armenia, marking the anniversary of the First Armenian Republic in 1918. 🇦🇲Dr. Manougian subsequently completed his residency in 1972-1975 at Metropolitan Hospital in New York and a Fellowship at Rutgers University before founding his longtime practice in internal and family medicine. He has been an attending physician at Hackensack (NJ) University Medical Center and The Valley Hospital (Ridgewood, NJ) for more than four decades. Dr. Manougian's professionalism and expertise are an inspiration, particularly to our younger generation of Armenian-American doctors and healthcare workers. Thank you, Dr. Manougian, for your dedication to your patients and your contribution to the field of medicine!@hmhnewjersey @thevalleyhospital @rutgersu @rutgerssph @uofoklahoma ... See MoreSee Less
