Katherine Hicks-Courant

@A_Schwa I will remind you of this forever.

Wise advice from my favorite MD/PhD. It’s a long, unique road. These are important questions to ask and consider.

1/ Genetic testing should be a core element of care for all patients with #ovariancancer. However, nationally, only ~30% of women are tested. We developed & applied an NLP algorithm to EHR data to rapidly identify women who need testing. bit.ly/3AJ49zU

Super excited to have Dr. Gysler stay with us at Penn and @Penn_OCRC @PennTumor!

@leitaomd Oh nice! What’s your protocol if they don’t void after?

Foley is removed at end of case here. Been doing that for years now.

I remember asking my attending when to take out the foley after a rad hyst. 14 days? 10? 4? “What do the data show?” he asked. I was frustrated when I couldn’t find any! Well, here you go @NawarLatif_MD @IJGCfellows @IJGConline tinyurl.com/mrx3mynp

As someone who did not match into their top choices, this resonates with me. I was lucky to find mentors, dear friends & work I loved everywhere I trained. Those are things that are tough to discern on interview day! Ultimately deeply grateful for @TuftsObGynRes & @PennMedicine

@A_Schwa Looking forward to using it as a hotspot…yes?

➡️ simplified nomenclature of the anatomy of the female pelvis.🤓🤓. What do you think??⬇️⬇️ ijgc.bmj.com/content/early/…

The rapid autopsy is a powerful research and teaching tool. @Penn_OCRC is one of only 14 institutions in the US that performs rapid autopsies. The Penn Legacy Tissue Program team assembled yesterday to grant one of our patients her final wish. @PennTumor @BasserBRCA @PennCancer

Exciting to hear about PAROLA to assess the role of PALND to tailor radiation field in stage IIIC1 LACC. What do you do for stage IIIC1 cervical cancer on PET/CT? #NRG2022 @NRGonc @IJGCfellows
