📍This change makes it substantially easier for authors aiming to contribute to the CT Surgery literature, and I’m deeply appreciative to the Editors for their forward thinking. 📍

Lung Cancer Awareness Month just ended, but the discourse must go on. We must strive every day to further knowledge, research, and compassionate care for patients with lung cancer. Engage with these content experts to stay abreast of the discussion. #LCSM

[Mara Antonoff, MD, FACS @maraantonoff]

Why do I operate on stage IV NSCLC?

Yes, patient selection is critical. Yes, the cases can be technically quite challenging.

But, sometimes we provide life-changing hope to patients. This privilege is the reason why I became a doctor.

IMHO Social media can help amplify your academic career. But it can never take the place of the needed work.

As @JBMatthews has noted: “no substitute for substance”

(At least I think @JBMatthews said that…😊)

Having an informative weekend with #STSLeadership Institute. Wonderful acting from the faculty about dysfunctional team dynamics.

[Mara Antonoff, MD, FACS @maraantonoff]

I am a CT surgeon, and I’m privileged to play an enormous role in the lives of all four of my children as well as those of my patients and their families. To be clear, women are wanted, needed, and can succeed in CTSurgery.

[WomenInThoracicSurg @WomenInThoracic]

We are eager to start the conversation and collaborate on much needed work. @STS_CTsurgery
