Excited to share this message about a research fellowship Grant that Team Cure Cholangio funded honoring Bill Hayes and Al Lemieux.

"I am pleased to share a new achievement in cholangiocarcinoma research, made possible by the generous support of Team Cure Cholangio. A recent publication, including Dr. Caitlin Conboy, was published in Hepatology. Her participation was made possible by the Quack Out Cholangio 5k Research Fellowship Grant honoring Bill Hayes and Al Lemieux.

Key findings include:

Identification of subtypes that are not linked to where the cancer began in the bile ducts, but do correlate with how long patients lived after surgery and how they responded to treatment.

Identification of a new potential drug target called TNK1, which was highly active in the metabolic subtype. In laboratory models, blocking TNK1 with an experimental drug (TP-5801) dramatically slowed tumor growth in that subtype but not in others—showing the promise of more precise, personalized treatment.

Finding that tumors in the immunomodulatory subtype responded best to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin)"

Team Cure Cholangio was honored to support Samantha McLean Diver last night at her fundraiser to help fund Memorial Sloan Kettering to launch the Richard L. Diver Research Endowed Fellowship Fund to accelerate research and patient care in cholangiocarcinoma and other hepatobiliary cancers—fields with limited options and urgent need. This fellowship will train a specialist every two years to advance treatments and bring hope to patients and families. Sam's husband Rich was stolen by cholangiocarcinoma in 2023 and was a good friend of the incredible MSKCC cholangiocarcinoma surgeon, Dr. Jarnagin.
To fully endow the fellowship, their goal is to raise $1.5 million. Prior to last night's fundraiser $500,000 had already been raised. Incredible!!! Yesterday Sam and her incredible team along with MSKCC staff hosted their highly successful Second Annual Richard L. Diver Golf Tournament & Cocktail Party in Wilmington, DE, to rally support for this cause.
For a small state DE is sure making a difference with cholangiocarcinoma with fundraisers and also being the American headquarters for both Incyte (developed the first FDA approved targeted drug for cholangiocarcinoma-Pemazyre) and AstraZeneca (developed Durvalumab)
