Thank you @IntuitiveSurg for providing amazing support as we transition our robotic pancreas surgery program onto the new DV5 platform. @UTHealthHouston @UTMIST @UTHealthSurg

@HalletJulie @myESMO @SocSurgOnc @IHPBA @BasGrootKoerkam @MarcBesselink @Gio_Marchegiani @ZhiVenFongMD @SyedAAhmad5 @rachnatshroff @graokane The results haven’t changed that much in this regard since ESPAC-1 was published in 2004.

🚨 #PRODIGE44 - preop radiation for LA-BR-PDAC Phase 2 of👥110 pts Preop mFOLFIRINOX + rads🆚no rads ❌No difference R0 ❌No difference OS or PFS #ESMO24 really hitting nail in⚰️of neoadj rads in GI cancers 🎉Great news: close 50 months median OS with resection after NAT!

@MarcBesselink @DPCG_official To clarify the intervention was open laparotomy with RFA?

Does RFA #ablation in locally advanced #PancreaticCancer following induction #chemotherapy improve survival? Leonard Seelen #PELICAN trial @DPCG_official 🇳🇱 results #IHPBA24: 188 pts randomized in 14 centers, 3 countries, between chemo+RFA vs chemo only. 🔑 No survival benefit for RFA 🔑 Worse quality of life with RFA

@SyedAAhmad5 @MarcBesselink @DavendraSohal @kharofaJ @rachnatshroff @TheNotoriousHPB @TsengJennifer @SocSurgOnc @SWOG @SSATNews @motazqadan Interesting results, will wait to hear the full presentation @BasGrootKoerkam Looks like TNT 🧨 in FFX arm while NeoGemXRT ☢️ arm had adjuvant Gem

PREOPANC-2 results. 👇🏼👇🏼 Neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX similar to Neoadj Gem/XRT. Included resectable and borderline resectable patients. @MarcBesselink @DavendraSohal @kharofaJ @rachnatshroff @FlavioRochaMD @TheNotoriousHPB @TsengJennifer @SocSurgOnc @SWOG @SSATNews @motazqadan

@ericpaulimd Resident: why do you use a barbed suture? Me: have you ever gone fishing 🎣?

Surgeons take heed, these are great knots to know for fascial closure

@BasGrootKoerkam @MarcBesselink @EileenMOReilly @Gio_Marchegiani @TsengJennifer @isteaus @FlavioRochaMD @HoggNDMD I’m predicting it will show radiation ☢️ augments the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment

I will present PREOPANC-2 results at ESMO next month. Neoadjuvant treatment of (borderline) resectable pancreatic cancer. Predict the result.@MarcBesselink @EileenMOReilly @Gio_Marchegiani @TsengJennifer @isteaus @FlavioRochaMD @HoggNDMD
