Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have developed an automated system to calculate metabolic tumor volume in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. These findings could make it easier to calculate tumor volume for clinical trials and possibly patient care.
Fox Chase Cancer Center, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Pfizer’s Institute of Translational Equitable Medicine formed a collaboration to launch a cancer genomics study to characterize novel genetic, molecular, and social determinants of cancer across populations of African ancestry.
Antonio Iavarone was named deputy director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

The White House and the American Cancer Society will convene leaders in academic oncology and across public and private arenas to address challenges in breast and cervical cancers on Oct. 24 in Washington, D.C.
As Hurricane Ian approached Florida and meteorologists predicted landfall near the Tampa Bay area, cancer hospitals in the area prepared for the worst—a direct hit by a Category 4 storm.
Scott M. Welford was named the Tumor Biology Research Program co-leader at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Sophia George was named the inaugural associate director of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and Ashish Shah was named director of clinical trials and translational research and principal investigator in the Section of Virology and Immunotherapy at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Brain Tumor Initiative at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Research suggests that emergency response personnel, recovery workers, law enforcement, and construction workers who reported to the World Trade Center disaster site were exposed to carcinogens that doubled their risk of developing myeloma.
A growing body of evidence is pointing to the obvious ways in which climate change impacts the environment. But those of us who study the impact of climate change on health have noted that the long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns also have not-so-obvious, downstream health implications, specifically for cancer.
