Happy Friday! As we say goodbye to July, here's a quick look back at five recent publications from our ACS researchers that we think deserve a moment in the spotlight this week: #ACSFriday5 #CanSky #OncoSky 🧪

While our bosses roll through Ohio (While our bosses roll through Ohio (bsky.app/profile/amer...), the work of cancer research rolls on! That means it's time for this week's #ACSFriday5, where we highlight five new publications from our ACS researchers this week: #CanSky #OncoSky 🧪

And they're off! Dr. William Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer at ACS and Dr. @cmannunziata.bsky.social, SVP for Extramural Research are now almost halfway through this year's Pan Ohio Hope Ride, having kicked off yesterday alongside more than 200 other riders.

Most people don't know when or where they may find a clear path to their future. And if and when they do, the way forward doesn't always present itself with clarity or certainty. But it did for @thecodywolf.bsky.social.

There's no better way to kick off the long holiday weekend than with some fresh science! Here is this week's #ACSFriday5, five new publications that we think are worth checking out: #CanSky #OncoSky 🧪

Last summer, our Chief Scientific Officer Dr. William Dahut completed the ACS Pan Ohio Hope Ride, captaining his team as they rode across Ohio and raised money for cancer research. After the event, Dr. Dahut challenged the riders to return again in 2026 and to bring a new rider into the challenge.

After a brief summer hiatus, we're back with a brand new #ACSFriday5 to send us off into the weekend! Here are five recent publications from our ACS researchers that we think are worth highlighting this week: #CanSky #OncoSky 🧪

Dr. Phung is a cancer epidemiologist and American Cancer Society grant recipient. He's studying ways to improve the health of disproportionately impacted groups. Learn how we fund cancer research: https://www.cancer.org/research/we-fund-cancer-research.html

A new breakthrough is reshaping what’s possible in pancreatic cancer. Daraxonrasib is offering new hope for patients, and ACS helped support early fundamental research that helped fuel this promising advance. Together, we're helping further the discoveries that can change the future of cancer.

When people hear “cancer,” survival isn’t always the first word that comes to mind. But progress is real: cancer death rates are down 34% since 1991, 5-year survival rate is 70%, & early detection is helping many cancers reach 90%+ survival rates. Read the report: https://amercancer.co/CSMJournals
