In November 2025, the @CLASSICA PI Associate Professor @SaraGerke of the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, and @DavidASimon7, based at Northeastern University in Boston, published an article titled, “𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑾𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑨𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕

Hello friends. Are there any workshops or conferences devoted to statutory interpretation?

🧵3. This real-world evidence supports CLASSICA's mission: using advanced imaging & AI to identify which early rectal cancers can be treated less invasively. 📖 Full summary: https://t.co/dmZMiyzIIA #RectalCancer #MinimallyInvasive #PatientCare

🧵2. The 66-patient study examined a 2-step approach: endoscopic removal + TEM instead of radical surgery—sparing patients from bowel/urinary/sexual problems & potential stoma. Results: just 3% local recurrence, successfully treated.

🧵 1. 🔬 New @CLASSICAProject research shows remarkable results for organ-preserving treatment of very early rectal cancer (pT1) 100% overall survival 97% disease-free survival Only 1.5% needed radical surgery Led by PI Prof. @albertoarezzo @unito

New in Surgical Endoscopy — Open Access pT2N0 rectal cancer after local excision: what next? In our single-centre cohort (n=90), adjuvant radiotherapy after TEM showed the best overall survival vs salvage surgery or observation (OS across groups, p = 0.015). Tumour budding

🎉 New publication from @classicaproject partners at @unito ! "Stepwise organ-preserving management of incidental pT1 rectal adenocarcinoma", published in Surgical Endoscopy Key results from 66 patients: ✅ 100% overall survival ✅ 97% disease-free survival ✅ No stomas needed
