The @AACR report on COVID’s impact on cancer research thoroughly encapsulates the challenges faced over the last two years by PIs, clinicians, and their trainees. A cathartic read after two years of grinding out research in this field. Highly recommend. https://t.co/feNb1W9io4

Interesting article on treatment of obesity in @JAMASurgery.
The oncologist in me is really happy to see the words “neoadjuvant” and “adjuvant” being used to describe the treatment of obesity. @sam_torreslanda

Today I went to the California DMV and got my driver’s license on the first try. In less than an hour.

At a minimum it can improve detection of early stage disease, even if unable to prevent disease by detection of pre-malignant polyps. Great potential for reducing disparities!

Exciting news for colorectal cancer screening and #liquidbiopsy with FDA approving ctDNA-based screening test for early stage disease. Not sensitive for adenomas, so will be interesting to see if/how it integrates into current screening guidelines. https://t.co/rS0yu7vkPD

Day 2 of the 4th @MoffittNews Complex HPB Course started with a dicussion on contract negotiation led by Dr. Fleming. We also got to hear HPB heroine and mastersurgeon @HoggNDMD ‘s take on operative standards for pancreatic surgery.

@SAGES_Updates @TWorrest @rbarbosa91 Anesthesia counts as part of the “ensemble cast” I think. A redshirt is someone you’ve never seen on the show before who dies horribly on the mission. So either rotating medical students or orienting scrub techs imho.

Hearty congratulations to Dr. Vauthey @VautheyMD for the Legacy in HPB Surgery award at the @MoffittNews Complex HPB course, recognizing the significant impact you made to the field.

Dude it’s the first week of residency.
I’ll never understand Attendings who get enjoyment out of publicly embarrassing or critiquing their trainees.

BREAKING: The Biden campaign just released this devastating ad that demolishes Donald Trump for being a convicted felon. Retweet so all Americans see this.

[Thomas Sutton, MD, MCR @ThomasSuttonMD]

Ok that’s pretty impressive. This is even written in iambic pentameter.

Continuing our infrequent look at the state of AI. While LLMs are bad at generating true humor (see post from earlier this week), they are good at non-subjective tasks. We asked ChatGPT to describe laparoscopy as Shakespeare (thread 1/6):

@drkeithsiau Sounds like someone has a lot more minutes to perform physical exams during their day than I do.

The outcomes seem a little suboptimal though with a reported 50% recurrence rate at 5 years. I suspect the population being surveilled for recurrence is at MUCH higher risk than all-comers. This likely artificially raises the event rate.

Nifty article looking at kinetics of hernia recurrence and risk factors in mesh and non-mesh repairs using #ACHQC data and time-to-event analysis. Very cool! @OrensteinSean @VNikolian https://t.co/X5KoaDgUVV
