Excited to see publication of the great work by our @MDAndersonNews #OncSurgery #T32 fellow @NManisundaram from @BCM_Surgery highlighting this new @AmColSurgCancer #RCRS quality measure for #RectalCancer treatment and need for improvement in reporting it.
Although circumferential resection margin (CRM) positivity reporting has improved over past decade, ¼ of Commission on Cancer facilities have missingness rates >16%. CRM missingness was associated with missingness in other pathologic measures. ja.ma/3t4mrvd

Leadership is not about pulling people to follow your path. It's about shining enough light for them to find their own route. Bosses aim to wield power. They issue commands to maintain control. Leaders strive to empower. They delegate authority to unleash potential.

Don’t forget about a proper omental flap. Particularly when based on right gastroepiploic and including all the omentum to the diaphragm, can get great space filling, lymphatic drainage, and avoid morbidity of gluteal or rectus flaps! Does not require high BMI!
APER will never be morbidity free and post RT 1/3 have delayed healing which patients hate (RCT data). So, if radiated then always. Gluteal is easier and doesn’t sacrifice the remaining rectus. No free lunch anywhere here! @DrGarciaAguilar @juliomayol @ColonCancerDoc @cmf2x

📰News from #ASCO23: Now that cancer txs have improved, researchers are starting to ask different Qs. Instead of asking how cancer therapy can be intensified, they are asking if there are elements of successful txs that can be eliminated to provide pts w better QOL says @ASCOPres

“Now that cancer treatments have improved, researchers are starting to ask different questions,” experts say, like whether some treatment can be eliminated to improve patient quality of life. nyti.ms/3IRR4ZO

Last night I had a chance to read the comments on the @nytimes article on the #PancreaticCancer vaccine trial. Agnostic to the trial, this was my favorite paragraph from one of the comments because it is 💯 true!
