Beyond excited to see our work in @JAMASurgery
We developed a risk score for recurrence and survival in LN–negative PanNETs, identifying patients at low, moderate, and high risk to guide risk-adapted postoperative surveillance and management. #PANDA

DUPAN-2 was an effective surrogate biomarker for monitoring treatment response in patients with #PancreaticCancer who are carbohydrate antigen 19-9 nonexpressors, and normal levels were associated with improved outcomes.

MARGINS SHOULD NOT AFFECT SURVIVAL IN SYSTEMIC CANCERS LIKE PDAC. Margins can be reflective of biology, similar to positive LNs. After neoadjuvant tx bad biology progress so for those getting tonsurgery margin loses its significance.

Among patients with unexplained acute recurrent #pancreatitis and pancreas divisum, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with minor papillotomy does not reduce the risk of another episode of acute pancreatitis or related sequelae.

Insightful Thread from Dr. @PatricioPolanc0 on IPMNs and prognostic utility of NGS
Great read for all lovers of the pancreas and trainees @MVentinMD @CarstenT94 @AndrewFlemingMD @med_trisha @SchultzKurt @FemiSuraju
Great articles from @GilbertZMurimwa & @amudhan_kannan!!

Have you ever wondered why do large (>3cm) & Mixed Type IPMNs have a higher risk of invasive neoplasia and carcinoma?
In these @JAMASurgery & @acsJACS publications led by @amudhan_kannan for our research group we attempt to decipher the biological behavior of IPMN using NGS
