If you are in Miami for #AHPBA2026 @AHPBA meeting, please join us tomorrow for breakfast and to discuss the current status, controversies and utilization of biomarkers for early detection of #PancreaticCancer (non CME event). @IHPBA @EAHPBA @letswinpc @PancreasClub @PanCAN @immunovia

Honored to be invited to Lima for the International Symposium of the Peruvian Surgical Society. An outstanding meeting with exceptional national and international speakers, and a unique opportunity to reconnect with Peruvian colleagues and catch up with friends and world-class surgeons from around the globe. 🇵🇪 🇺🇸 🇧🇷 🇦🇷 @timpawlik Wellington Andraus, Daniel Ludi, Mariano Palermo, among others @scgperu @BastoArroy51081

Over 20 years ago, my dad was named an honorary member of the Peruvian Surgery Society for his contributions to the Peruvian surgical community. A few days ago, I was deeply honored to receive the same recognition. I wish he were here to see it. Te extraño papá.

Indeed. fantastic presentations by pancreatic cancer experts @HoggNDMD @Gio_Marchegiani @isteaus & Matt Katz @SocSurgOnc #SSO2026.

Great job by @RTHeslin presenting his work at @SocSurgOnc #SSO2026 on the molecular mechanisms behind the clinical differences seen between male and female patients with gastric cancer. @UTSW_Surgery @utswcancer @UTSWSurgeryLife

Thank you, Dr. @PatricioPolanc0 . Truly grateful for your mentorship and guidance, and for the opportunity to present our work at my first #SSO2026 @SocSurgOnc . Honored to represent @UTSW_Surgery and be part of such an outstanding collaborative effort.

Congratulations @Alex_Kim_HIPEC for the Clinical Investigator Award! A true SURGEON SCIENTIST . Very well deserved! @SocSurgOnc #SSO2026 @utswcancer @UTSW_Surgery @UTSWMedCenter

Congratulations to @NFatimahMD on giving a great talk for her best paper award at @SocSurgOnc #SSO2026. Did a great job representing @UTSW_Surgery and @utswcancer!

Dr. Polanco, @PatricioPolanc0 , one of the leading robotic HPB experts giving talk on robotic assisted whipple with vascular reconstruction at #SSO2026 @UTSW_Surgery @utswcancer @SocSurgOnc

"The Cutting Edge Of Pancreatic Surgery" Please join us for this lunch Symposium during @SocSurgOnc #SSO2026 Annual meeting with pancreas surgery experts: @Gio_Marchegiani @HoggNDMD Naru Hikoma, Alessandro Panniccia, Katrina Duncan sponsored by @Medtronic

Please join us in congratulating Alex Kim, M.D., Ph.D., for receiving the Clinical Investigator Award from the Society of Surgical Oncology, recognizing outstanding patient-focused research! #UTSW #UTSWSurgery #CancerResearch

It was a pleasure to host @Diegohinojosau from Mexico 🇲🇽 at @UTSW_Surgery @UTSWMedCenter as a recipient of the @AHPBA 2025 LatinAmerica Observership Travel Grant. He observed several robotic complex HPB surgeries, completed advanced simulation training in Xi system and participated in tumor boards, lectures and case discussions. I'm confident that his grit and passion will help advance HPB surgery field in Mexico. Interested in applying for travel grant? 👉 ahpba.org/awards-grants/…

Congratulations to our pancreatic cancer program with leadership from co-directors @aguilera_md, @salthecancerguy, and @patriciopolanc0, as well as program manager Minda Hill on their designation as an Academic and Clinical Center of Excellence from @NatPancFdn.

Congratulations to the 2026 Clinical Investigator Award recipients! Through this highly competitive program, SSO and @acpmpresearch are proud to invest in groundbreaking clinical research that moves surgical oncology forward and strengthens the science behind patient care.

In @JAMASurgery paper, we report that mixed-type IPMNs had significant higher rates of HRM(31%vs9%) & 12% of co-occurrence of HRMs, w/high sensitivity/specificity (90%/100%) predicting advanced neoplasm, higher than any clinical/radiol/cyto feature alone jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Have you ever wondered why do large (>3cm) & Mixed Type IPMNs have a higher risk of invasive neoplasia and carcinoma? In these @JAMASurgery & @acsJACS publications led by @amudhan_kannan for our research group we attempt to decipher the biological behavior of IPMN using NGS

Grateful to share our work published in @acsJACS Large PCLs may harbor more high-risk mutations, explaining their higher malignant potential. With high diagnostic accuracy, we recommend #PancreaSeq NGS incorporation into management of IPMNs ≥3 cm. journals.lww.com/journalacs/abs…

Thank you @UTSWNews for featuring my induction into the @AmCollSurgeons ACS Academy of Master Surgeon Educators. This reflects the incredible work of our AIMS Lab team and collaborators. shorturl.at/NHqWK via @utswnews @UTSW_Surgery @UTSWSurgeryLife

Amazing team lead by @Alex_Kim_HIPEC One of the highest CRS/ HIPEC programs in the country. @UTSW_Surgery @UTSWMedCenter @utswcancer

Fantastic turn out for our @utswcancer Pancreatic Cancer Patient Summit. Great panelists, speakers & touching stories shared by 3 of my dearest patients & survivors @UTSWMedCenter @UTSW_Surgery
