Our 15-year cohort study explores trends in surgical de-escalation in gynecologic oncology. These findings are transforming patient care but raise important questions about the preparation of fellows in surgical training.
@headofmelon @dviverosc @RauhHainMD @NiteckiRoni
Gynecologic oncology is moving towards less invasive surgical methods and decreased surgery overall, which likely benefits patients but also raises challenges for surgical training and the equitable access. ja.ma/3DNOWmf

If you last checked in on AI image makers a month ago & thought “that is a fun toy, but is far from useful…” Well, in just the last week or so two of the major AI systems updated.
You can now generate a solid image in one try. For example, “otter on a plane using wifi” 1st try:

Happy Birthday to Carolyn Bertozzi, @Cal Ph.D. 1993 and Professor of Chemistry 1996-2015, who received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry just last week! Although she is now at some other school, she won her Nobel for work done primarily at Cal and Lawrence Berkeley Lab.

I am thrilled to begin my work at @theNCI today. With President Biden’s passion and commitment to the Cancer Moonshot, the opportunities to partner across the cancer community to improve the outlook for people with cancer are unprecedented.

"Extra cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before interval #surgery for #OvarianCancer: the more the merrier or too much of a good thing?"

#OBGYN & #REI trainees-- a patient with regular cycles calls for help with her OPK (urine ovulation predictor kit): it's not working this month. She started testing late (day 14) & it's been negative until days 28-35, now the OPKS are all ➕. What's going on? #medtwitter #ttc
