This week we had the privileged to host the @SocSurgOnc executive leadership team, president @KennethTanabeMD , president-elect @TariKingMD and CEO @pstellastar4 at IRCAD North America @AtriumHealth @wakeforestmed in Charlotte, NC. We had very insightful and productive discussions in how to advance the field of surgical oncology innovation, education, training and research through the strengthening of academic centers, societal and industry collaborations in healthcare.

Also grateful for the visit of @advocatehealth Cancer Service Line leaders: JosephWeber, Nikolaos Dallas, MD,@WesleyPapenfuss and the leadership of Dionisios Vrochides, MD, PhD, F, @BrentDMatthews & @mpdrc 🙏
