The kiss 💋 between nab-paclitaxel / gem and FOLFINIRNOX ?! ♥️ Neoadjuvant regimens combined in resectable 💉 RCT 324 pts vs. Upfront surgery median EFS 15 vs. 10 months? 🧐 Doubts about control group, but again in the direction of neoadjuvant to all! https://t.co/YCkQKFTo9k

How many are leaving fiduciary. I have not due to concern over tampering with subsequent imaging. But not always comes up in TB
🌀Do CRLM truly disappear after chemo? DREAM study:👥233 pts MRI + CT most accurate ❌63% truly nonviable 👀24% visible on intraop US No change OS with resection vs not (small numbers) 🤔If disappeared CRLM: plan resection or trust it disappeared? https://t.co/yEvWJtlycd

If you’re a GI/HPB surgeon/oncologist who couldn’t make it to @ASCO 2025 & trying to scour for its ongoings online like I have been, here’s the 2 trials you’d probably be interested in with a concise breakdown: MATTERHORN, & CASSANDRA! (Also tagging ppl who are smarter than me)

As a trainee, how fast does your robotic surgical skills decay ? Should you keep practicing? @PatricioPolanc0 lab postdoc Dr. @SamyCastilloF gave an excellent and in depth analysis. 👏 👏@ricardo_nunezr @UTSW_Surgery @UTSWSurgeryLife @Surg_Education #ASE25

@HoggNDMD @AmerZureikatMD @AnnSurgOncol 💯💯 And this study has 25 patients! Makes a big difference for patients where surgery is not possible (for number of reasons, frailty being a major one). It’s been our approach for years. Lucky that our rad onc group has a strong sbrt experience. Patients feel relieved when

This is a study we need. This question comes up all the time for older frail patients and hard to give them survival data My first study I tried to publish with @AmerZureikatMD as faculty was this. We had 16 patients and about that many journal rejections @AnnSurgOncol
☢️ Is there a role for ablative radiation therapy for technically resectable pancreas cancer?! 🇺🇸 25 pts T1-T2 with comorbidities (❌surgery) 👍 2-year local progression 20% overall survival 43% 😱 Very provocative read! https://t.co/HrYVpghI47

@sonbol_bassam @spartelli @HalletJulie Good points, indeed, there was a paper that reported on the risk of LNMs based on tumor location and pancreatic head primaries may be more likely to metastasize... https://t.co/1YfNuPYBxG

For those interested in more on the emerging molecular predictors of recurrence and outcome, I direct you to this new review article that covers ATRX, DAXX and ALT among other things. There was a neat poster at ENETS on menin as a predictor of outcomes. https://t.co/WkaUWryESm

🚨PSA: the ALLIANCE A021806 for neoadjuvant vs adjuvant chemo in pancreas cancer is 4️⃣0️⃣ patients short of completing accrual Answer Dr Ferrone’s call: if each centre enrols 1️⃣ patient, enrolment will be complete! Lets do it! 💪
