Aww, thanks @ash.hematology.org! Cute little Red is going to have to hang out in my office with me, and I'm sure we can get some use out of the sweet treat picker in clinic. It's been a great weekend at #ASH25!

Sumit Gupta from @sickkidsto.bsky.social presents an update from AALL1731 (previously showed DFS benefit w/ blina + chemo in SR-avg and SR-high in pediatric B-ALL). In pts randomized to blina, Hispanic ancestry, EOI MRD were no longer negative prognostic factors. Re: genetic risks... (1/2) #ASH25

As a dog person, I fully support this part of #ASH25 (and also support the idea of a mid-afternoon nap if needed) #ASHScavengerHunt

Interesting work by Nikolai Gajic and colleagues highlighting the seemingly unique susceptibility of ALL to ferroptosis when at low cell density (like MRD settings) and not high cell density #ASH25 #ASHScavengerHunt

#ASHKudos to Rachel Rau, Sumit Gupta, the whole AALL1731 study committee, all of our COG sites, and most importantly, our patients and families who made these results possible. So exciting to officially see these results on the big stage at #ASH24 (and presented by a great mentor too!)
