Aligned with our breast homing hypothesis: This meta-analysis provides evidence suggesting a survival advantage for women undergoing breast-conserving surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy for early-stage breast cancer compared with mastectomy. https://lnkd.in/dJvzNbNm

When ovarian cancer is more advanced at the time of diagnosis, it will sometimes have spread to the surface of the bowel (intestine). In these cases, to ensure as much of the cancer is removed as possible, surgery may include removing a part of the bowel. If the two ends of the bowel cannot be joined back together, the surgeon will create a stoma Our booklet, in partnership with Target Ovarian Cancer, is a mini guide to navigating ovarian cancer and stomas, which you can download for free on our website: https://lnkd.in/gJYabdk 💜 #ovariancancer #stoma #support

Excited about this!. John Lazar and I have put together a great program with fantastic speakers who are experts in their respective domains. Will be educational for both thoracic surgeons and IP. Topics include: 1) Diagnosis and staging with advanced bronchoscopy (Ali Jiwani ) 2) Peripheral bronchoscopic therapeutics (Joe Cicenia) 3) Financial aspects of single anesthesia events (Herrera Luis ) 4) Sublobar resection with the ION and Davinci (Erin Gillaspie, MD, MPH

Join the Society of Surgical Oncology and Korean Breast Cancer Society for an in-depth discussion on the ideal breast surgery margin width for patients undergoing breast conservation and mastectomy. We'll cover special considerations for neoadjuvant-treated patients and those with pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ at the margins. Plus, discover the latest technologies for margin evaluation. We hope to see you there: https://ow.ly/z0Jv50SICEr #SSO #SocietyofSurgicalOncology #SurgicalOncologist Jeong Eon Lee, Shelley Hwang, Astrid Botty Van den Bruele, Sung Gwe Ahn

Pancreatic cancer research focuses largely on detection. We are one of few institutions focused just as intently on finding “markers of benign-ness”— signs that a patient may not need pancreas surgery because their cyst is unlikely to become cancer in their lifetime.

Patients with soft-tissue sarcoma treated with neoadjuvant, or pre-surgical, immunotherapy had tiny residual tumors at the time of surgery and promising long-term survival, according to our Phase II trial results.

The recent Cancers journal publication presents a nuanced systematic review of laparoscopic 🤖 and robotic-assisted surgeries 🎮 for colon cancer, analyzing outcomes from 21 studies with 50,771 patients. Robotic surgery is linked to longer operative times ⏱️ but shorter hospital stays 🏥 and an increased count of lymph nodes harvested, with no difference in leak rates. This comprehensive data highlights the critical role of individualized surgical approaches 🎯 and points toward the evolution of patient-centered care in oncology.

🔎 DID YOU KNOW? 🔎 The Whipple procedure, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgical intervention frequently employed to treat pancreatic cancer. This intricate surgery entails the removal of a portion of the pancreas, the duodenum, and adjacent organs. 🏥 #pancreaticcancer #pancreaticcancerawareness #pancreaticcancercommunity #pancreaticcancerpatient #pancreaticcancerfighter #pancreaticcancersurvivor #pancreatitis #cancer #pancreaticcancerresearch #cancerresearch
