Current non-metastatic #RectalCancer tx-related Issues? Issues that can arise if Sx is needed: 📌Low anterior resection syndrome (if rectal surgery) 📌Potential for urinary and sexual dysfunction #CRCTrialsChat #CRCSM

The JANUS Rectal Ca Trial 📌Hypothesis: chemo intensification in context of TNT will⬆️cCR rates in pts w/locally advanced rectal cancer 📌Specifically: cCR rates will be⬆️in pts treated w/ triplet vs. doublet chemo after LCRT 📌Rationale: cCR → organ preservation! #CRCTrialsChat

The OPRA trial! 📌1st trial to integrate WW in a prospective fashion 📌In the context of TNT🧨 & selective WW, allowed organ preservation in >50% of pts 📌3 & 5Y organ-preservation rates higher with a consolidative TNT approach (LCRT --> chemo) #CRCTrialsChat

The FNIH has named Vinod Balachandran, MD, recipient of the 2023 Trailblazer Prize for Clinician-Scientists for his groundbreaking research on new immunotherapies for pancreatic cancer.  Read the full press release here bit.ly/44nZtvV

If you are at #AACR23, stop by Qi Wang’s poster on Monday 4/17/23. She’s an amazing fellow at our lab working on perineural invasion. She will tell you that rapid pancreatic cancer cells in nerves adopt amoeboid migration. LB158/9 section 36.

Dr Paty presents a 44 yo cT3bN+ Rectal ca treated with Folfox then SCRT -> nCR to cCR then local regrowth to start the discussion on mid to low Rectal cancers @#MSKcolorectalCME @MSKCancerCenter #salvage #regrowth

@DrGarciaAguilar instructs the group using his deep knowledge on what makes up a clinical complete response - ingredients=time, use of unified criteria & prospective application of the criteria along with a strong ‘lean-in’ on the endoscopic features of response #Ficare2022

Great that our paper made the cover. Thank you @CD_AACR! Thanks to the team (those on twitter: @YasongYuMD @powersann3 @evakiani @Gusain_Laxmi @annalisa_ub @eck405 @andrea_marcadis ) and collaborators @TheVinodLab, B Reva and K Jessen.

Leslie #Blumgart still spoke fondly of his time in #glasgow @grisurgery decades later during the morning Fellow teaching sessions @MSKCancerCenter @MSKCC_SSit @SurgeryLegends
