Last wk to apply! Come spend a yr with us in beautiful Montreal honing your expertise in UpperGI and Thoracic Surgery. Great opportunity with my amazing colleagues! ⁦@DoctorJSpicer⁩ @JonathanCools⁩ ⁦@sara_najmeh⁩ ⁦@LFerri123⁩ ⁦ https://t.co/f3Z6XrbOvp

The VALUE Trial team shows that same-day discharge after VATS lung resection can be done safely for carefully selected patients.

Strong work from @DoctorJSpicer, @MThoracics, @LyndonCWalsh, @filippog92 & @MeravRokah 👏.

In LuCE’s 5th Report, 6 in 10 people said family life was heavily affected by #lungcancer - time away from loved ones adds to the challenge.

[Jonathan Spicer MD PhD @DoctorJSpicer]

Super proud of our team @MThoracics for putting together this trial showing that same day discharge after lung resection, specifically anatomic lung resection, is both safe and feasible! Would not have been possible without the hard work of @LyndonCWalsh and @MeravRokah, as well as our nurses Erin Cronin and Tia Wallace. @sara_najmeh is now leading our standard of care pathway implementation! https://t.co/KntTnXeHvj

@DoctorJSpicer just articulated what I think has been the theme of the paradigm changing work presented at #ASCO24, “It’s more about disease biology than the anatomical extent.” This is absolutely how I am beginning to think about lung cancer—staging is not a complete prognostic indicator.

ESOPEC trial
It’s been a long 15 year journey, but so nice to see Docetaxel triplets come on top for the benefit of our patients!
CROSS just doesn’t work for GEA-EAC- radiation compensates for poor surgical control (trans-hiatal) and CM577 compensates for poor systemic control

@StephenVLiu @dramycummings @marinagarassino @DoctorJSpicer And an interesting question raised during the discussion. Are we still paying too much attention to stage for treatment decision as oppose to tumor biology and patient factors?

[ASCO @ASCO]

New from the Plenary Session at #ASCO24: ESOPEC helps settle debate on superiority of perioperative #chemo (FLOT) vs neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CROSS) in esophageal cancer with 29-month improvement in OS with FLOT vs CROSS: https://t.co/ZHHv2dfNi3 #ASCODailyNews #esocsm

After 4 years of preparation, finally able to provide surgical care to our Inuit patient population within their communities. Sixteen satisfied patients treated this week who did not have to travel 1600km to Montreal for their surgeries. #Puvirnituq

36 000 ppl at @ASCO. Impressive plenary with @Surgeon_General.

[Mathieu Rousseau @RousseauMC]

That’s why I tell my patients Lung Cancer is the new Breast Cancer. ⁦@ASCO⁩ That’s where we are going too!

[Mathieu Rousseau @RousseauMC]

@esinghimd @FordePatrick @DoctorJSpicer @JackWestMD @LungCancerRx I believe we’ll learn about it for CM816 tomorrow.

From the abstract:
“In pts who did not receive definitive surgery, these exploratory analyses showed that neoadjuvant N + C was associated with numerically improved TTDM”

[Mathieu Rousseau @RousseauMC]

@Tony_Calles Was AEGEAN screening failure rate presented at AACR? The surgical eligibility criteria were even more strict with AEGEAN. Anticipated pneumonectomy were excluded which lead to many screening failure at our site.

[Mathieu Rousseau @RousseauMC]

Amazing talk by @DrMarkAwad @ASCO

Cross trials comparisons of peri-op IO. Neoadj seems advantageous.

The ❔remains,what to do with poor path responders?

Frequent discussion at our TB, data is badly needed.

Didn’t bring up radiation as an option for persistent N2. Thoughts?
