In a cohort at average risk for colorectal cancer, a cell-free DNA blood-based test had 83% sensitivity for colorectal cancer, 90% specificity for advanced neoplasia, and 13% sensitivity for advanced precancerous lesions. Full ECLIPSE study results: nej.md/3v0J319

Racial and socioeconomic disparities significantly affect outcomes for colorectal cancer in many areas preop/intraop/postop. Identifying they exist is the first step towards making meaningful changes @VCUMassey @DrRobWinn @JoseTrevinoMD @VCUGenSurgRes @AndreaNRinerMD @UFMedicine – at Virginia, USA

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Colorectal Cancer are complicated, and much work is still needed in order to mitigate them. @AndreaNRinerMD @KellyHerremans @UFSurgery @SWexner @CleveClinicFL @JoseTrevinoMD @VCUHealth @VCUMassey @DrRobWinn @AnnSurgOncol – at Richmond, VA

Individuals with #LynchSyndrome are at increased risk for multiple cancer types (common ones shown here). Note: MLH1 has the highest pancreatic cancer risk, MSH2 has the highest urothelial & prostate cancer risk, & PMS2 risks are mainly CRC & EC. #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

Very true. This is what I tell @VCUGenSurgRes residents. In addition, I’ll add that “compromise leads to complications” @JNoguerasMD
Indeed; there are 3 kinds of surgeons: surgeons who operate and thus unfortunately experience complications, surgeons who do not operate so do not suffer complications, and surgeons who may not be completely honest
