Aren’t You the Valet? Tales of Black American Surgeons | NEJM Today, in the US, it is as if there are 2 different scripts being loudly declaimed trying to drown each other out. The escalating chant “BLM” is countered by … cancel culture & White supremacy. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
5 year follow up from a 2018 phase-II pilot study of neoadj. nivolumab (nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/ne…). Impressive outcomes!

Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hearing my patients’ stories over the years during surveillance has led me to believe (even though i cannot prove) that PFTs have value in risk-stratification, but they do not predict patient experience.

Delighted to announce MARS 2 data is now mature and we aim to report this year! Thank you to our patients, UK investigators, @BrsTrialsCentre, @NIHRresearch @CRUKresearch for 7 years of hard work!!
Here here! Congratulations @JBMatthews! So well deserved. – at Chicago, IL

AUDARA update with longer F/U but OS data still withheld ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.1200…
Interesting👀 Brain mets incidence starts to rise AFTER 3 years osi is up in stage II/IIIA while in control group it plateaus at ~10%. So does osi really only delay recurrence?🧐
Do we need MRIs???

Importantly, for clinical relevance, we show that we can predict recurrence after surgery in a cohort of Stage 1A-B lung cancer patients by using machine learning and as a result can inform on adjuvant treatment strategies. We don’t need 35 markers- we can do this with just 6! 🙌🏼

Dr John Alverdy’s last day in the OR after 30 years at @uchicagosurgery Thousands of patients have benefited from his expertise, and his legacy includes hundreds of trainees - THE BEST. #ThankYou @UChicagoMed #EndOfAnEra #TheLegend #NewChapter #HesNotGoingAnywhere – at Chicago, IL

Here’s some help: just do neoadj and you’ll hardly ever have to think about this adj business. The real question is whether there’s value in adj IO for patients who received neoadj chemo-IO. That’s the real question for which we will soon have some useful data. #LCSM

Dr Altorki presenting his ‘labor of love’ CALGB 140503. For peripheral T1a, surgical outcomes, disease free and overall survival not statistically different looking at lobar vs sublobar. Important to note recurrence is 30% for both groups! More data coming at the AATS! #STS2023

Awesome presentation highlighting important work by @JackKentMD @LuciaMadariaga looking at the cost-effectiveness of ex-vivo lung perfusion for patients undergoing lung transplantation #STS2023 @uchicagosurgery @uchicagosurgres @UChicagoCTSurg

Awesome lecture, incredible visit. Impossible not to be inspired!!
Starting the new year off strong with Dr. Zara Cooper here for the inaugural Jill Hitchcock Memorial Annual Trauma lecture!
Thrilled to have her here from @BrighamSurgery to learn about her extensive work with older surgical patients in trauma and beyond.
Nice paper in @annalsthorsurg this morning:
Impressive differential risk of LN mets in patients with solid vs. mixed GGO less than 2cm who are clin. node neg. Check out those odds ratios!

Extremely proud of our trauma surgery colleagues @uchicagosurgery. Phenomenal surgeons and humans—THIS is what taking care of the whole patient looks like. Not just the physical injuries. – at Chicago, IL
At The University of Chicago Medicine, we are pioneering innovative programs to address the legal aids of our trauma victims to lead to holistic recovery after violent trauma. @uchicagosurgery @UChicagoMed
Best part of the Belsey!

Because as @DouglasEWood1 has point out…
With current USPSTF guidelines, if you enter lung cancer screening and quit smoking at age 50, then the only way to qualify for screening beyond age 65 (a peak age group for lung cancer) would be to start smoking again!! 🤯🤯🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
