Medicaid expansion was associated with reduced mortality and increased surgical resection rates for patients with #PancreaticCancer, with improvements most evident several years after expansion and for those with stage II-III disease.

Harvesting more lymph nodes DOES NOT improve survival. It only prevents stage migration. Remember in order for lymphadenectomy to improve survival, you will need N+ and M0 disease. That’s exceedingly rare. PDAC IS A SYSTEMIC DISEASE.

Hepatic histotripsy is a novel noninvasive ultrasound therapy for liver tumors, and 1-yr outcomes demonstrated that local tumor control and survival was consistent with other therapies. https://t.co/cnRCOBwsTG

I’m so excited to share my third and final first-author publication from my PhD!! We discovered NK cells express fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and use it to migrate into tumors! FAP overexpressing NK cells reduced pancreatic cancer growth in mice! https://t.co/SwFuG0BjKb

[Dr. Nina Niu Sanford @NiuSanford]

Interpreting liver mets on MRI can be challenging, in part b/c imaging features (hypo vs hypervascularity) vary by primary tumor site.

I adapted this slide from Dr. Jim Apisarnthanarax presentation at ASTRO.

Important for diagnosing & if treating w MR-guided RT.

Too many earlier onset CRC are still being missed in the 40-44y age group.
