Prognostic significance of MRI-detected EMVI according to grade and response to neo-adjuvant treatment in LARC - A🇳🇱cohort study after radiologic training and reassessment @MirandaKusters @SanneHazen @rbeetstan @ESSOnews @escp_tweets @EsgarSociety @3isac bit.ly/44Kt7x7

🧪 A study from @MirandaKusters and colleagues sought to determine the prognostic value of lateral #lymphnode size and malignant features - such as internal heterogeneity, irregular margins, and more - in patients with advanced #rectalcancer: buff.ly/4cwfIMG

A 50% reduction in radiotherapy use for non-locally advanced rectal cancer did not compromise cancer-related outcomes at a national level. Optimizing clinical staging and surgery has enabled safe de-intensification of treatment. ja.ma/4bH74dO @mirandakusters @sannehazen

First patient recruited to the @LanorecStudy. Nice work @drtfitz_littleT!

On 21-11 Tania Sluckin obtained her doctoral degree by defending her thesis entitled "lateral lymph nodes in rectal cancer". This thesis stresses the importance of adequate treatment of lateral lymph nodes and the LaNoReC trial. Want to receive a PDF? Mail lanorec@amsterdamumc.nl

Lateral lymph nodes during the @ESSOnews 142 conference! On Thursday 26th of October the prognostic implications of the number of lateral lymph nodes and their malignant features were discussed.

@LanorecStudy @RoyalAdelHosp @tarik_sammour @rogier_crolla @Rijnstate @Zuyderland @amsterdamumc @MeanderMC @ErasmusMC @MirandaKusters If any @CSSANZORG units would like to join, we have completed ethics approval @RoyalAdelHosp @RAHcolorectal and happy to help with this. Contact @tarik_sammour or @drtfitz_littleT for the local info.

Publication alert: node picking or partial LLND do not decrease lateral recurrence risk in rectal cancer patients with enlarged nodes. In the LaNoReC these patients undergo a complete LLND aiming to lower the risk to <6% pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37340200/ #SoMe4Surgery #rectalcancerresearch

The renewed Dutch delineation guideline has been approved by the Dutch GI radiotherapy association (LPRGE)! This guideline will guarantee uniform delineation and coverage of lateral lymph nodes in the LaNoReC study. Want to join the next online training? lanorec@amsterdamumc.nl

Adequate coverage of lateral lymph nodes by routine radiotherapy is associated with considerable lateral local recurrence risk. Published in #RedJournal #laterallymphnodes #colorectalresearch #radiotherapy @TaniaSluckin @SanneHazen @MirandaKusters sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Update @LaNoReCstudy: the study has become a registration study, not subject to ethical restrictions, open for ALL patients with enlarged (≥7.0mm) or intermediate (5.0-6.9mm) lateral nodes with ANY neoadjuvant treatment, with a new protocol. Keen to join? lanorec@amsterdamumc.nl

@tmn31_ @DrLizMurphy @luke_traeger @RAHcolorectal Well done!!

@luke_traeger on 🔥🔥🔥presenting the results of PyRICo-RCT for the Mark Killingback Research Paper Prize 🏆💪🏼#RACS23 @RAHcolorectal

What a fantastic and well-organized meeting; thank you for the invitation! It was great meeting old friends and making new ones; looking forward to future collaborations! #RACS2023 @tarik_sammour @HiddeKroon @ksoreide @SongpholColo JamesNgu @LanorecStudy @RAHcolorectal

There are THREE #Colorectal Master-classes @RACSurgeons #RACS23. Check them out below.

@R_Perez_MD @TAMISYoda @JohnRTMonsonMD @Leo708 @yoshi_konishi @guilhermepc91 Great initiative!

This is really important in embarking on this procedure ENTIRELY DIFFERRENT from what Uro and Gyn surgeons do! @TAMISYoda and @JohnRTMonsonMD @Leo708 are doing a great job in keeping the momentum going with this is the US since April 22. Now ASCRS!! @yoshi_konishi @guilhermepc91

@rogier_crolla @JohnRTMonsonMD @ColonCancerDoc @TAMISYoda @DrGarciaAguilar @R_Perez_MD @SocSurgOnc @AmColSurgCancer @ParisTekkis Totally different: gyne and uro remove external and/or obturator nodes, but the internal iliac ones are the most relevant for rectal cancer..

@JohnRTMonsonMD @ColonCancerDoc @TAMISYoda @DrGarciaAguilar @R_Perez_MD @SocSurgOnc @AmColSurgCancer @ParisTekkis It is far more extensive than urologic or gynaecologic dissection. Don’t make the mistake to just copy them!

For LLN dissection in rectal cancer is the surgery performed the same as that done by urology or gynecology? Discuss?? What about sentinel node mapping? @ColonCancerDoc @TAMISYoda @DrGarciaAguilar @R_Perez_MD @SocSurgOnc @AmColSurgCancer @ParisTekkis #tellthetruth
