Are you looking for a doctor for a specific medical procedure? To help with this process, a total of 650 physicians in four specialties were recognized this year. The first edition of America's Best Vascular Surgeons, Spine Surgeons, Prostate Cancer Oncologists and Prostate Cancer Surgeons features the top 650 physicians. To determine the best physicians, an evaluation of the data provided by the physicians was conducted: Volume of procedures performed and five metrics per procedure, such as complications per procedure or mortality rate. In addition, thousands of medical experts with knowledge in the respective fields were invited to participate in an online survey. For the national recommendations, participants were asked to rate the quality of care, e.g. treatments, follow-up care or use of the recent equipment. Several board certifications were taken into consideration for all eligible physicians.  We use our infographics in this post to explain our approach by way of example.

March is Brain Tumour Awareness Month💚 With brain metastasis sadly affecting approximately 20% of all patients with cancer, we know how important it is to preserve quality of life when treating cancer that has spread to the brain. That’s why at GenesisCare, we deliver a world-class specialist neuro-oncology service and our centres in London and Oxford are centres of excellence for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This advanced ‘brain-sparing’ radiotherapy approach for brain tumours is recognised for its ability to preserve quality of life in people with brain metastases. To complement our SRS treatment, we offer fMRI scanning - a non-invasive MRI technique to better understand the possible outcomes of neurosurgery. As part of our patient-centred care approach, all our patients are discussed in our twice weekly national multi-disciplinary meeting which brings together UK’s leading experts, including Neuro-oncologists, Neuro-Surgeons, Neuro-radiologists, Medical Physicists and Neuro Clinical Nurse Specialists. This ensures tailored treatment plans and the best possible outcomes for all our patients. Our streamlined Rapid access SRS pathway allows appropriate patients to have SRS within just one week of the treatment decision. 👉 Find out more about our world-class neuro-oncology service here> https://bit.ly/3TIeUNw

James Farrell, MD, recently published a review on the current state of clinical care and research for pancreatic cysts in the New England Journal of Medicine. The paper explains different types of these pancreatic cysts, guidance to determine cancer risks, when and how to use endoscopic ultrasound for evaluation, and approaches for managing patients with concerning cysts. Farrell is a professor of medicine (digestive diseases) and surgery (surgical oncology) and director of the Yale Medicine Pancreatic Diseases Program. Learn more about this paper, the state of research around pancreatic cysts, and why he is inspired to learn more about this field in the Q&A with Rachel Pagliocca Martin. https://lnkd.in/eE9JiDVm
