The @AACR report on COVID’s impact on cancer research thoroughly encapsulates the challenges faced over the last two years by PIs, clinicians, and their trainees. A cathartic read after two years of grinding out research in this field. Highly recommend. aacr.org/professionals/…

@rbarbosa91 PCSA?

The feeling you get when you submit an abstract a full *week* before the deadline instead of at 11:55 pm on the day of.

Interesting article on treatment of obesity in @JAMASurgery. The oncologist in me is really happy to see the words “neoadjuvant” and “adjuvant” being used to describe the treatment of obesity. @sam_torreslanda jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Today I went to the California DMV and got my driver’s license on the first try. In less than an hour.

At a minimum it can improve detection of early stage disease, even if unable to prevent disease by detection of pre-malignant polyps. Great potential for reducing disparities!

Exciting news for colorectal cancer screening and #liquidbiopsy with FDA approving ctDNA-based screening test for early stage disease. Not sensitive for adenomas, so will be interesting to see if/how it integrates into current screening guidelines. cnn.com/2024/07/29/hea…

Day 2 of the 4th @MoffittNews Complex HPB Course started with a dicussion on contract negotiation led by Dr. Fleming. We also got to hear HPB heroine and mastersurgeon @HoggNDMD ‘s take on operative standards for pancreatic surgery. @MHepatobiliary @DanielAnayaMD @DenboJw

@SAGES_Updates @TWorrest @rbarbosa91 Anesthesia counts as part of the “ensemble cast” I think. A redshirt is someone you’ve never seen on the show before who dies horribly on the mission. So either rotating medical students or orienting scrub techs imho.

@TWorrest @rbarbosa91 Anesthesia are the redshirts?

Hearty congratulations to Dr. Vauthey @VautheyMD for the Legacy in HPB Surgery award at the @MoffittNews Complex HPB course, recognizing the significant impact you made to the field. @MDAndersonNews @MHepatobiliary @AHPBA @DanielAnayaMD @DenboJw

Excited for the 4th annual Complex HPB Course @MoffittNews @CAMLSTAMPA and thrilled to have @VautheyMD and @HoggNDMD joining this year as guest faculty! @SocSurgOnc @SyedAAhmad5 @AGangiMD @FlavioRochaMD @timpawlik @TsengJennifer

Flying to my hometown of Tampa for the 4th Annual Complex HPB Surgery Course by @MHepatobiliary @MoffittNews @CAMLSTAMPA ! Excited to learn from @HoggNDMD @VautheyMD @DenboJw @DanielAnayaMD and others!

Dude it’s the first week of residency. I’ll never understand Attendings who get enjoyment out of publicly embarrassing or critiquing their trainees. @michaelcsiah @UTSWVascular @UTSW_Surgery

BREAKING: The Biden campaign just released this devastating ad that demolishes Donald Trump for being a convicted felon. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Ok that’s pretty impressive. This is even written in iambic pentameter.

@drkeithsiau Sounds like someone has a lot more minutes to perform physical exams during their day than I do.

What do you think of this infographic? (courtesy of Ig: doc_wakeup)

The outcomes seem a little suboptimal though with a reported 50% recurrence rate at 5 years. I suspect the population being surveilled for recurrence is at MUCH higher risk than all-comers. This likely artificially raises the event rate.

Nifty article looking at kinetics of hernia recurrence and risk factors in mesh and non-mesh repairs using #ACHQC data and time-to-event analysis. Very cool! @OrensteinSean @VNikolian jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…
