Grace Ha Mittler, MD

So proud of Spencer!

Great session Challenging Lung Dogma moderated by @IanCBostock1 and @jdoningtonmd @maraantonoff on surgical resection in stage IV @nchudgar on extending our criteria for surgical resectability, converting borderline resectable to resectable and study data from MDT-Bridge

Pneumonectomy for T4N0-2 tumors or a PACIFIC chemoXRT and immunotherapy regimen? NCDB data presented by @GraceHaMD show survival benefit to pneumonectomy in propensity matched cohorts. Best outcomes in women, left side disease, and w neoadjuvant treatment. #STS2026

Proud of our @MontefioreNYC @EinsteinMed thoracic surgery team who will be well represented at #STS2026. Particularly proud of our @MontefioreCTS @MontefioreSurg residents, w/ 3 oral presentations & 2 moderated sessions! Our broad expertise & leadership will be on display!

We're thrilled to announce the winners of the #TexasLung26 poster competition whose outstanding abstracts highlight important research shaping the future of lung cancer care. Join them at the poster session & welcome reception on April 9, 2026, in Austin, TX—this is where the future of lung cancer innovation comes to life! Congratulations to @JackieAredoMD, Zhaohui Arter, @yajur_arya, Wint Aung, @RobertoBoreaMD, @KCargillMDPhD, @DivyaReddyMD, @GraceHaMD, Pragya Jain, John Nawrocki, Max Schuessler, Xin Sun, Lauryn Tu, and Alessandra Vaccaro. na2.hubs.ly/H037ZVS0

@DrewMoghanaki @BrendonStilesMD @STS_CTsurgery @MontefioreNYC @EinsteinMed @MontefioreSurg Thank you for this point Dr. Moghanaki! Especially as we have observed higher rates of surgery for cN3 disease at academic research centers.

@GraceHaMD @BrendonStilesMD @STS_CTsurgery @MontefioreNYC @EinsteinMed @MontefioreSurg Hi Grace. I’m looking forward to your talk. Too many patients don’t realize their tumors could be resected if they went to centers with more advanced resources. I trust you’ll help more underage this fact.

Great feature from @STS_CTsurgery on work that will be presented by our outstanding @MontefioreNYC @EinsteinMed resident @GraceHaMD at STS Annual Meeting 2026! Is all cN3 stage III NSCLC really "unresectable"? sts.org/meet-people-be… @MontefioreSurg

🫁 This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we're proud to celebrate our Montefiore @EinsteinMed lung cancer team, honored earlier this year with the @IASLC Cancer Care Team Award for delivering compassionate, life-changing care to people with lung cancer. #MonteProud

@GavittWoodard @GraceHaMD @MontefioreNYC @TamarNobel @nchudgar @WomenInThoracic @EGFRResisters @EGFRSummit @jillfeldman4 Great work from our great resident @GraceHaMD and from @TamarNobel! Part of our overarching goal to understand differences in responses of Black and Hispanic patients to immunotherapy and targeted therapy. @MontefioreNYC @EinsteinMed @BalazsHalmosMD

So proud of @GraceHaMD for this important work highlighting biomarker differences and treatment implications in Black and Hispanic patients with NSCLC. Critical data from our Montefiore/Einstein population that speaks to ongoing disparities in representation in clinical trials.

Dr Grace Ha and the team at Montefiore are doing critical work in better understanding the disparities in Lung cancer patients by looking biomarker testing in early NSCLC @BrendonStilesMD @WomenInThoracic @WTS2025

@FWilder9 @BrendonStilesMD @WomenInThoracic @WTS2025 Thank you Dr. Wilder!

Interesting data from @GraceHaMD @MontefioreNYC on mutations and PD-L1 in black and Hispanic NSCLC pts, underrepresented in trials. High rates of EGFR in Asian and Hispanic pts. EGFR mutations in black pts are often non-sensitizing and may explain differences in survival.

@JohnCMcAuliffe @linaariyan @MontefioreNYC @MontefioreSurg Great engaging talk @linaariyan!!

Spectacular, impactful talk by @linaariyan about #pancreascancer KRAS resistance mechanisms and innovation @MontefioreNYC @MontefioreSurg during Scientific Retreat.

@MontefioreSurg So proud of (and not even a little surprised by) my incredible seniors! Congrats!! 🎉

Another fantastic match announcement for our rising chief residents! Congrats Drs. Estrada and Xia, soon to be MIS surgeons!

@GavittWoodard @BrendonStilesMD @thoracic Thank you so much Dr. Woodard!!

@BrendonStilesMD @GraceHaMD @thoracic Excellent talk!! Very nicely presented @GraceHaMD

@GraceHaMD gave an outstanding talk at #ESTS2025 on whether there exist advantages of robotic surgery over VATS for wedge resection. Do we need RATS for a "simple" operation? NCDB data shows some advantages but need to evaluate cost, OR times, outcomes & PROs. @thoracic

@BrendonStilesMD @thoracic Thank you!! It was great sharing our work today. Excited to further evaluate our institutional data.

@RajikaJindani @huroqu90 @AATSHQ @MontefioreNYC @MontefioreSurg @MontefioreCTS @nchudgar @MarcV_MD @EinsteinMed Team was in the zone at #AATS2025! Great work from @nchudgar and @MarcV_MD. The smartest thing I ever did at @MontefioreNYC @EinsteinMed was surround myself with incredibly talented people!
