@ShandaBlackmon It is about exposure and how much fun it is to dissect those nodes versus how much of a chore it is. Robotics allows visualization exposure and fine dissection. Also the pace of dissection and comfort is different. I believe these are purely the factors. VATS requires more grit.
I am one proud program director today! Our @MDAndersonNews thoracic surgery fellows, Drs @KGMitchellMD and @DavidNelsonMD won the CTSurgery showdown championship today! I’m so happy that the final jeopardy was “who was lariche?” #STS2023@STS_CTsurgery https://t.co/y71rhH7Dl3
Dr Tina Cascone @MDAndersonNews presented an amazing review of NIO in lung cancer #LCSM and highlighted NeoCoast Study. She also called for reverse translation @sitcancer#SITC22
MD Anderson was honored with the presence of Dr. David Harpole from Duke University for the @MDAndersonNews 2022 Jack A. Roth Distinguished Lecturer in the Thoracic Surgery Research. In the process he also became an honorary Texan!
@mtmdphd@JackWestMD@ADesaiMD@AnaVManana@JAMAOnc So the question really is whether it is easier to recover from neoadjuvant therapy to proceed with surgery or recover from surgery to proceed with adjuvant therapy. Historically ~90% proceeded to surgery after chemo but only ~60% received adjuvant chemo. New era now.
@BrendonStilesMD@DoctorJSpicer@cusm_muhc North Star and Bright Star results with shed some light on this in stage IV. It is not a comparison between surgery and RT. Both are valid LCT modalities. Benefit of surgery following TKI is getting final path report of response. All therapies complement each other over time.
