An honor to have Steven N. Kalkanis MD present the 8th Annual Sawaya Lectureship on Innovations in Brain Tumor Surgery in the Precision Medicine Era and meet with BCM Neurosurgery residents. Ganesh Rao M.D. Akash Patel

Definitely a very interesting and rare case with a dramatic outcome for a patient essentially blind from an aggressive skull base malignancy. Thanks to BCMHouston student Prazwal Athukuri and BCM Neurosurgery resident A. Basit Khan, MD and all other colleagues for reporting this.

I agree with the arguments presented here and believe "pituitary adenoma" to be the more logical terminology. "Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor" adds unnecessary confusion without clarifying any aspects of the biology or clinical course. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Most prior #GBM studies were confounded by mixing of a minority of grade 4 IDH mutant astrocytomas. I always wondered whether #temozolomide truly benefits IDH wildtype #glioblastoma patients. This analysis suggests it doesn't, regardless of MGMT status. aacrjournals.org/clincancerres/…

Proud to be a part of this team!

Another critical finding relevant to molecular classification of aggressive meningiomas from my friend and colleague Akash Patel and the rest of the team BCM Neurosurgery and their collaborators.

Proud of our BCM Neurosurgery residents Dr. Caroline Hadley and Dr. Rita Snyder presenting their findings on skull base tumor at NASBS 2023. Ganesh Rao M.D. Akash Patel

Thanks to the organizers of NASBS for a wonderful 2023 meeting, and an excellent BCMHouston and Texas Children's representation by BCM Neurosurgery and Otolaryngology departments. Alex D. Sweeney

Learned a lot during our Ehni lecture and skull base dissection lab. Thanks to the lab personnel, BCM Neurosurgery organizers, Shaan M. Raza, MD, Omar Tanweer, Akash Patel, Ganesh Rao M.D., and many thanks to our invited guest and master surgeon Dr. Fernandez Miranda DrJFM - Juan C. Fernandez-Miranda MD -.

Finally! A targeted treatment that works in IDH-mutant glioma, at least in terms of progression-free survival.

Proud of BCMHouston student Prazwal Athukuri and BCM Neurosurgery resident Rita Snyder for spearheading this study. NASBS

Amazing news! Congratulations to Dr Patel! Akash Patel

This is remarkable! After recent good news for IDH-mutant gliomas, now new hope for another population of glioma patients. Congratulations to Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦 and collaborators! nature.com/articles/s4158…

All excellent points here, putting clinical statistics into context. Recommended reading for all physicians!

Very interesting finding on the association of #GBM hypermutation and discontiguous recurrence. Congratulations to Malcolm McDonald and many thanks to other authors and collaborators. Tareq Juratli, MD, FEBNS Ganesh Rao M.D. BCM Neurosurgery actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Amazing pancreatic cancer survival after neoantigen mRNA vaccination! This type of research depends heavily on continued NIH support. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thankful to and for our outstanding BCM Neurosurgery residents everyday! BCMHouston

Congratulations to our recent graduate! It is a privilege to be a part of this amazing group of colleagues.
