For those graduating from fellowship/residency this year; training is tough and difficult. As you get ready to take on your new role, consider this quote from Will Durant - “Those who have suffered much become very bitter or very gentle.” I urge you to consider the latter!

Is it ok to cry when your patient progresses or has a recurrence? Is it ok to cry when facilitating end of life discussions? And how does that impact oncologist self perception and worth? Our poster in #ASCO2025 presented by amazing med student Hannah Catzen #burnout

Most benefit in stage III pts (n=468): PCS vs NACT/ICS • PFS: 26.3 vs 21.4 mos • OS: 63.7 vs 53.2 mos Surgical quality mattered—complete resection = median OS of 67 mos. PCS offers long-term survival advantage in resectable, non-frail pts. #gyncsm #ovariancancer

TRUST trial: In non-frail pts with stage IIIB-IVB ovarian cancer, PCS led to longer PFS (22.2 vs 19.7 mos, p=0.02) vs NACT/ICS. OS favored PCS (54.3 vs 48.3 mos, p=0.24), esp. in stage III pts (OS: 63.7 vs 53.2 mos). PCS remains standard in expert centers. #gyncsm #oncology @sgo

The most practice changing trial from #ASCO25 is now live on @NEJM .If this was a drug, this would be approved today. Globally relevant and low-cost intervention that is not only delaying relapse but actually improving survival. Perfect case example of a #cancergroundshot trial. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
