Our study in JAMA found that most people eligible for #lungcancerscreening (LCS) are already getting screened for breast & colon cancers. LCS eligible adults ARE receptive to cancer screening. They are NOT “hard to reach,” they are “hardly reached.”

Perioperative GLP-1 receptor agonist use in diabetic patients was linked to lower rates of readmission, wound dehiscence, and hematoma 🏥💉. No increase in infection or bleeding was observed, but more research is needed. Weill Cornell Medicine Surgery Columbia Surgery journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…

Traditional biomarkers (PDL1 CPS/TPS, MMR) of response to ICI not very informative in this phase 2 trial - but integrating scRNAseq data with multiplex imaging identified M2 Macrophage density and proximity to cancer cells predictive of poor response. A target for future studies

“It’s critically important to be a surgeon scientist. You have to be well-trained. You can’t be a surgeon scientist out of thin air. You need a surgeon who wants to do it, who is excited and realizes it’s hard work.” - Alec Patterson WashU Medicine Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery #AATS2025

This is meaningful. Pts with tumors that are big to resect, or who are very frail, are often referred to #radonc who feel compelled to treat. It’s crucial to consider upfront systemic tx and revisit 3-4 months later to avoid delivering anything futile. #ESTRO25 Cecilia Pompili MD PhD FACS

Let’s make X fun again and start asking thought provoking questions such as “Did MSKCC really use a Radium Bomb to treat cancer?” The linked YouTube video tells more about this early history before chemotherapy was discovered.
