@SyedAAhmad5 I would argue he IS trying to mess with the pancreas…

@SyedAAhmad5 @motazqadan @TheNotoriousHPB @HoggNDMD @therealkwash @TorzilliGuido @SSATNews @SAGES_Updates @timnewhook19 @ryanwday @HalletJulie @CDTzeng @MonicaDuaMD I agree, esp if the question comes from a place of genuine eagerness to learn, clarify, or even correct if something may be misleading to the audience. If it’s meant to toot your own horn on the other hand, think again.

@motazqadan @TheNotoriousHPB @HoggNDMD @therealkwash @TorzilliGuido @SSATNews @SAGES_Updates @timnewhook19 @ryanwday @HalletJulie @HopSTranCao @CDTzeng @MonicaDuaMD That’s not wrong BUT….. part of why people go to meetings is to hear the experts engage in dialogue, learn alternate viewpoints, and how to analyze results. If you have a good question….ask it!! That’s how others learn. IMO.

It’s not intended to placate tradition, nor should it shy away from challenging dogma. It is not perfect, but it is essential.

How does it feel knowing most people will not adopt evidence generated from high quality research (like clinical trials!)?
Should we continue even if people do what they feel is best in their hands?
English
Ok let's approach this differently
Tell us top 3 reasons you do (or don't) do surgical research👇🏻
I'll start!
1⃣Better outcomes for patients!
2⃣Scientific curiosity 🤓
3⃣Meeting/working w new people/ academic camaraderie
&4⃣Balance from sometimes frustrating clinical work

@MDAkhilChawla @MDAndersonNews @HopSTranCao This is an important point to try and standardize definitions for trials going forward in #cholangiocarcinoma. These are the ones we used in NEOGAP with the addition of CA19-9. We have these definitions for resectable, borderline and locally advanced in #PDAC already
English
Timely study by a great team @MDAndersonNews @HopSTranCao:

-Multifocality or satellitosis limited to the same lobe.
-Vascular invasion.
-Suspected or confirmed (via biopsy) regional lymph node metastases.S
