The best defense is a good offense.

MD Anderson physicians and researchers are breathing new life into that old adage with their work in cancerjourney, prevention and risk assessment. They’re discovering ways to detect the disease at its earliest stages by examining how genetic, environmental and behavioral factors contribute to its development. The earlier cancer is caught, the better our chances of curing it. In addition to detection, they’re educating the public about lifestyle changes and choices thatlower can help prevent the disease altogether. the risk

Working for inheritors of higher risk By Katrina Burton People with inherited conditions that raise their risk of developing certain cancers, such as colon cancer, deal with a lot of anxiety that comes from uncertainty about their health.

Vilar-Sanchez and Paul Scheet, “Among the general population, the vast majority of polyps Ph.D., associate professor in Epidemiology, are using the latest detected during a colonoscopy are benign or still at premalignant genomic technologies to study premalignant lesions (polyps) in stages of development,” Vilar-Sanchez says. “But we still need the large bowel. to better understand the biological mechanisms that transform these polyps into cancer. This is especially important for people with FAP because they grow hundreds of polyps. Therefore the chances of polyps becoming cancer are very high.” With seed funding from the Duncan Family Institute for Cancer Prevention and Risk Assessment, Vilar-Sanchez and his team are examining polyps from FAP patients to develop preventive strategies and stop their growth. His other research interest focuses on Lynch syndrome — a rare inherited condition caused by a germline mutation in genes responsible for repairing mistakes in DNA. This research, supported by the Feinberg Family Gift, is a collaborative research study with Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Vilar-Sanchez and his team are using genetically engineered mice to identify and develop new chemoprevention drugs to target this disease. “We need to determine which drug, or combination of commonly used drugs, will most effectively stop the development of polyps in Lynch syndrome patients,” he says. But his research program has a broader goal. Vilar-Sanchez says not only will his studies benefit those with a high risk of colon cancer because of inherited conditions, but also the discoveries have the potential to help those with an average risk.

45141_Txt_.indd 9 2/10/14 8:20 AM Paving the way for trailblazers By Sarah Watson Dallas’ Lyda Hill is determined to help solve “the mystery that is cancer.” To that end, she’s pledged an astounding $50 million to MD Anderson’s Moon Shots Program. “It represents a different direction for research that crosses disciplines and offers new hope for breaking cancer’s codes,” Hill says. “I’m pleased to offer my support to this historic effort.” In recognition of Hill’s enormous generosity, the institution will name the Lyda Hill Cancer Prevention Center in her honor. A senior member of the MD Anderson Cancer Center Board of Visitors, Hill is a longtime proponent of scientific research and biomedical advancement. She’s president of LH Holdings and the Lyda Hill Foundation, which supports initiatives that increase the understanding of nature and science. The breast cancer survivor says her family has been impacted tremendously by cancer. And she’s encouraged by today’s strength- ened focus on prevention. “Since my first mastectomy more than 31 years ago, we now have the word ‘prevention.’ Prevention was never in the same sentence with cancer back then,” she says. “It’s our hope for the future. I’m honored that the Cancer Prevention Center will carry my name.”

Funding the fight Thanks to the generosity of donors such as Lyda Hill, the Moon Shots Program received more than $139 million in private philanthropic com mitments in its first year. Other major gifts include: Jho Low, $50 million (see related story on Page 22) Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. and Helen C. Kleberg Foundation, $10 million Marathon Oil Corporation, $3 million The Cullen Trust for Health Care, $2 million Bosarge Family Foundation, $2 million Mr. and Mrs. William J.

MD Anderson's 'protein pioneer' By Laura Sussman In 1983, Robert Bast Jr., M.D., and his colleagues published a seminal paper in the New England Journal of Medicine detailing his discovery of the protein CA-125 and its value in helping to predict if ovarian cancer might recur. “We developed an antibody recognizing the high-molecular-weight Time will soon tell if CA-125 finally answers the need for an early protein that’s shed from about 80% of ovarian cancers,” the vice ovarian cancer screening tool — the results of the large United president for Translational Research explains. “It wasn’t designed Kingdom trial are due in 2015. as a screening test, but rather to follow women with known ovarian “After 32 years, we’ll all be delighted if CA-125 detects ovarian cancer and determine their response to treatment and to detect cancer earlier,“ Bast says. “But moving forward, we really need to recurrence.” discover how to accelerate further development of screening tests.” That didn’t stop ovarian cancer researchers, however. Since Bast's discovery more than 30 years ago, many have studied CA-125’s role in early detection, but with little success. Both Bast and Karen Lu, M.D., chair of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine, thought a better biomarker, coupled with new technologies, ultimately would trump CA-125. Yet in head-to- head scientific studies, no better marker was found. That finding, together with the CA-125 change-over-time mathematical model, again renewed interest. Thus the MD Anderson-led study of CA-125 was born. More than 4,000 healthy women are enrolled from seven sites across the country, and more than 20,000 blood samples have been collected. To date, all but one of the ovarian cancers have been found in their earliest, most curable stages. Such trials take an abundance of resources. Despite MD Anderson’s large Specialized Programs of Research Excellence grant from the National Cancer Institute, which served as seed funding, philanthropic support is paramount to the study’s success, Bast says. “Without the year-in, year-out generosity from Golfers Against Cancer, the Tracy Jo Wilson Ovarian Cancer Foundation, the Mossy Foundation, the Norton Family, and Stuart and Gaye Lynn Zarrow, in particular, a trial of this scope and size just isn’t possible,” he insists. Each of the screening sites across the country also depends on local donors.

Taking MD Anderson to the world By Victor Scott Jho Low is helping fund a health care revolution. Low learned firsthand about the importance of access to MD Anderson’s cancer knowledge and expertise. “Early in 2013, my grandfather was living in Malaysia and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia,” says Low, the chief executive officer of the global investment firm Jynwel Capital. “Fortunately, my family was able to connect halfway around the world with MD Anderson’s Dr. Hagop Kantarjian (chair of Leukemia), who consulted with my grandfather’s local physicians and guided his care.” Through the Jynwel Charitable Foundation, Low has committed an extraordinary gift of $50 million to support the development of MD Anderson’s Oncology Expert Advisor™ (OEA), powered by IBM Watson. The OEA is a leading-edge clinical decision support tool that ingests, analyzes and organizes vast amounts of data to help physicians determine the most promising treatment options for each patient. In time, it’s believed that the OEA can optimize patient care, speed new discoveries and allow doctors throughout Texas, the U.S. and around the globe to tap into MD Anderson’s superior level of cancer care expertise. “MD Anderson’s innovative partnership with IBM is a tremendous step in the global fight against cancer,” Low says. “The OEA can potentially provide patients around the world with access to the best possible cancer care. I’m proud and humbled to lend my support to this game-changing effort.”

Meet Jho Low Jho Low is co-director of the Jynwel Charitable Foundation, which seeks to fund breakthrough programs that work to solve the toughest problems in global health, education and conservation. Low is a frequent visitor to the Houston area for ongoing business and philanthropic initiatives. Low talks about why he is giving to MD Anderson at www.mdanderson.org/JhoLowGift.

In the first part of the clinical trial, patients received infusions of their tumor-infiltrating T cells after receiving high-dose interleukin-2, an immune-system signaling molecule that stimulates T cell activity. Hwu and colleagues reported that 15 of 31 patients had an objective — or measurable — response to therapy. Patients participating in a new arm of the clinical trial also receive an infusion of their own, expanded dendritic cells. These cells present T cells with antigens, which they recognize and attack. “We’re working continually to improve this approach by making it more efficient, effective and available to more patients,” Hwu says.

The clone wars By Mary Brolley Michael Gunter’s had time to think about melanoma. Who gets it and why. Ways to battle it. Its silent and destruc- tive nature. Late in 2007, the St. Louis resident noticed a tiny, colorless bump on his left cheek. “It looked so innocent,” he recalls. Following surgery in early 2008, the bump was diagnosed as a stage IIB desmoplastic melanoma, a rare form of skin cancer most commonly found on the head and neck. After another surgery to look for the spread of cancer to his lymph nodes, Gunter opted for 26 rounds of high-dose radiation at the spot on his face where the cancer first surfaced. Despite those efforts, the disease returned a year later. And various grueling treatments couldn’t stop its eventual spread to his lungs, brain, spine and kidney. Then, in 2011, Gunter entered a clinical trial led by Patrick Hwu, M.D., chair of Melanoma Medical Oncology. Killer T cells extracted from Gunter’s tumor were cloned to vastly expand their number. They were then put back into his body, with positive results. “It worked,” he says. “I’m not NED (no evidence of disease), but I’m stable. Michael Gunter and Patrick Hwu, M.D. “I have an appetite. I can work. I have a whole new appreciation for life.” Recently, Gunter took a tour of the Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) Laboratory at MD Anderson, where he met the researchers who cloned his T cells. “They call him the “They’re trying to grow cells for patients,” he says. “They literally hold people’s lives in their hands.” czar of melanoma.

Born to beat cancer Marit Peterson may be genetically predisposed to melanoma, but the disease was no match for her and her team By Miriam Smith “We match, mommy!” That was 4-year-old melanoma survivor Marit Peterson’s response when her mother, Candy, explained her breast cancer diagnosis. Marit’s positive outlook on life not only melted Candy’s heart, but also saw the young girl through some tough times in early childhood. Marit, who’s now 9, was born with a small pink bump on her right ring finger. Pediatricians dismissed it as nothing, but a mother’s intuition prodded Candy to insist on a biopsy. The results were inconclusive, and a visit to MD Anderson was recommended. Soon they met Jeffrey Lee, M.D., chair of Surgical Oncology. Lee diagnosed Marit with stage IIIB metastatic melanoma and started treatment immediately. After surgery and injections of Interferon, an antiviral protein produced by the body, for a year, Marit, then 2, was deemed a survivor. “I love Dr. Lee. He saved my life,” Marit says. “He took all my cancer away, and he’s looking for clues to take the cancer away for every- body. I’m lucky to have him as my doctor.” To show their appreciation and contribute to the fight, the Petersons, who live in Dallas, founded the Marit Peterson Fund for Melanoma Research in 2007. Through the fund’s annual golf tournament, they’ve raised more than $1 million to support Lee’s research. The success only strengthens the Petersons' commitment to MD Anderson. “All of the players on a football team can’t be exactly the same. You need the best people at every position, and that’s what MD Anderson has,” Candy says. “We had the surgeons, the dermatologists and the pediatric oncologists, all working together for the win, which was getting our little girl back.” Marit and Candy, who call themselves best friends, continue to match. Both are cancer free: Candy for five years and Marit for seven.

After an additional two weeks of rapid expansion, the amassed T cells are ready to go back into the patient — this time with a much better shot at success. “Infusing 50 billion cells is good; 100 billion is better,” Bernatchez says. She operates the Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) Laboratory in Melanoma Medical Oncology, where T cells, white blood-cells that attack invaders such as viruses and tumors, are grown for a clinical trial on metastatic melanoma. So far, 79 patients have been treated in three arms of the trial, with about half of them responding well. Among the latter is Michael Gunter (see his story on page 33), who came to the lab last year to thank and support the people who grew his T cells.

All vaccines work by gener- ating antibodies that fit into the target like a key in a lock. Each B cell makes a completely different antibody, and the immune system can make “quadrillions of types of antibodies,” McBride points out. Problems occur when massive genetic mutations and DNA damage veer off course and impact genes that regulate cell growth and function. The result: B cell leukemias and lymphomas. McBride’s research at the Virginia Harris Cockrell Cancer Research Center at MD Anderson’s Science Park in Smithville, Texas, focuses on the molecular processes used by B cells to make antibodies. In particular, his team studies activation-induced deaminase (AID), an enzyme that launches hypermutation and double-strand breaks, usually in a beneficial manner.

Acts of kindness are completely voluntary By Will Fitzgerald They’re known as the heart of MD Anderson. The 1,200 volunteers in blue jackets are true warriors in the battle to eliminate cancer.

A convenient truth By Beth Dombrowa

Sonia Byrd is one tough lady. Less than a year after a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, the mother of two and marketing professional competed in her first bodybuilding competition, earning second place. She trained for the event at the encouragement of her friends and physicians, who were amazed at how well she looked throughout her treatment. Convenient access to the Regional Care Center in Sugar Land helped Byrd juggle family, career, her breast cancer battle and a rigorous training schedule. It’s one of the four regional centers in suburban Houston providing almost 14,000 people with MD Anderson-quality care close to where they live and work. In Fiscal Year 2013, 29% more patients sought care at one of these centers than the year before. And about 10% of all new patients began their relationship with MD Anderson through the regional system, which also has locations in Katy, The Woodlands and the Bay Area. From specialized surgery to chemotherapy and radiation, most community-based patients such as Byrd can receive their full treatment from MD Anderson fellowship-trained physicians. Services such as pain management, counseling and dietitians are available, as well as support groups to help with the emotional toll of the disease. Community patients also now have access to clinical trials, allowing them to benefit more fully from, and contribute to, MD Anderson’s mission to end cancer. As more people choose to work throughout their treatments, the regional centers are likely to continue to grow in popularity among those who want MD Anderson care but also want to stay close to home — or perhaps close to the neighborhood gym.

Nowhere to hide By exposing cancer cells, fluorescence makes surgeons’ jobs easier By Jacqueline Mason It’s easy to see, pardon the pun, why urologists and gynecologic surgeons would be excited by the promise of medical fluorescence.

She uses indocyanine green (ICG) dye to help illuminate the patient’s blood supply and lymphatic system. Fleming is looking specifically for tumor perfusion and lymph nodes affected by cervical or endometrial cancer cells. H. Barton Grossman, M.D., a clinical professor in Urology, injects hexaminolevulinate hydrochloride, a colorless solu- tion, to turn bladder tumors pink under blue light. “This technology highlights cancers that, under white light alone, look perfectly normal,” Grossman says. He led a 2007 randomized study that followed more than 800 patients over nine months. Blue-light cystoscopy better distinguished carcinoma in situ (cancer that hasn’t metastasized), as well as the parameters of papillary tumors in study participants, making the tumors easier to find and remove. Participants later showed improved time to recurrence (16.4 months) than those exposed only to traditional white-light cystoscopy (9.4 months).

But to the team in MD Anderson’s Head and Neck Center, they’re always cherished. That culture is one of the many reasons the Head and Neck Center has been consistently ranked in the top 12 nationally by U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Hospitals” survey since 1992. The service also is ranked in the broad surgical specialty of ear, nose and throat — not just cancer — and in 2013 was rated third in the country. Randal Weber, M.D., chair of Head and Neck Surgery, says that, like so many departments and clinics at MD Anderson, a team approach is the core of the center’s strength. “We have now — and always have had — the best surgical, medical and radiation oncologists, nurses and midlevel providers, who work alongside the best specialists in rehabilitation, speech pathology, dentistry and plastic surgery,” Weber says. “Our team takes great pride in our legacy and reputation, but we also know that we have to uphold both every day, with every patient.” Jan Lewin, Ph.D., professor in Head and Neck Surgery and section chief of Speech Pathology and Audiology, leads a group of 25 pro- fessionals that provides integral services to help patients recover, as much as possible, the capabilities they had before treatment. The multidisciplinary team’s programs are applied early in the process. “It’s just not acceptable to cure patients of their disease and leave them disabled,” Lewin says. “Treatments have advanced so much, but because of HPV and its relationship to head and neck cancers, we’re seeing many more patients being diagnosed, and they’re younger. We must continue to think ahead and help restore our patients’ quality of life as much as we can.” Jan Lewin, Ph.D., and Randal Weber, M.D.

The Raleigh, N.C., couple previously established the Charles and Daneen Stiefel Chair in Cancer Research with a $1 million gift in 2009. In honor of their most recent generosity,

Partner members are co-branded clinical extensions of MD Anderson that bring the institution’s knowledge and expertise to their communities. The network, which was created in 2012, includes 12 members — two partner members and 10 certified members — in nine states. Through its expansive — and strategically growing — network, the institution has a presence on almost every continent. MD Anderson has locations in Spain and Turkey, and consults with health care providers around the world, from China to Brazil, where it's helping South America’s leading hospital develop a comprehensive cancer center. In addition to these clinical relationships, global academic collaborations are facilitated through the Sister Institution Network, a group of 27 leading research and medical insti- tutions in 20 countries working collaboratively to reduce the world’s cancer burden. While there’s only one MD Anderson, its global network ensures that millions of people have access to the distinctive care that has made it the most respected cancer center in the world — and some say, the galaxy.
