"Exciting news! The latest #NCCN guidelines, released today, are a game-changer for #colorectalcancer. They now have separate guidelines for pMMR and dMMR tumors in both colon and rectal ca. To ensure the best treatment for all, universal testing of MMR/MSI is crucial.

@westelm Still no response @westelm Horrible customer service

[Anthony Dakwar MD, FACS, FASCRS @anthonydakwarMD]

@westelm by far the worst customer service support for a supposedly higher end company. Completely abysmal!

"I feel great and, with the surgery completed, my quality of life is much better now than it was when I was in so much pain from my IBD." Read more about the individualized care Stefanie received from our team of experts in colorectal cancer.

People with Crohn’s disease in particular are two to three times more likely to develop colorectal cancer than people without the disease. The severity of IBD symptoms and a family history of colon or rectal cancer also play a role in your risk.

@SeanLangenfeld @FezaRemziMD @SWexner @PhilFleshnerMD @MarkSoliman @AmyLightnerMD @HolubarStefan Agreed, I was just wondering how aggressive we truly are as a group? How far away do we stray from standard of care when treating malignancies in Crohns, or even in limited UC. I have a feeling we aren’t offering TPC routinely as much as we think. Thoughts?

[Anthony Dakwar MD, FACS, FASCRS @anthonydakwarMD]

35 F, Crohn’s colitis from descending to upper rectum, now ulcer w/dysplasia @ 40cm. Well-controlled overall for last 15 years on now 3rd biologic. No other areas of concern. WWYD? @FezaRemziMD @SWexner @PhilFleshnerMD @MarkSoliman @SeanLangenfeld @AmyLightnerMD @HolubarStefan

[Anthony Dakwar MD, FACS, FASCRS @anthonydakwarMD]

@JohnRTMonsonMD @ArmanErkanMD @SoniaRamMD @cmf2x Definitely troublesome, what was the etiology of perforation? ie, pathology. Any chance of IBD?

[Roswell Park @RoswellPark]

The location of your cancer is just one aspect of it that’s contemplated in developing your treatment plan.

Excited to return home and serve my community @RoswellPark as Assistant Professor of Oncology, Colorectal Surgeon. @sjnurkin @ASCRS_1 @ColonCancerFdn @CCAlliance

[Anthony Dakwar MD, FACS, FASCRS @anthonydakwarMD]

@MarkSoliman @AdventHealthCFL @IntuitiveSurg That’s awesome! I routinely perform SILS for TAC/TPC, colostomy creation/reversal, etc or basically anything that ends up with an ostomy or had an ostomy. Excited to see your thoughts! Congratulations @MarkSoliman

[Anthony Dakwar MD, FACS, FASCRS @anthonydakwarMD]

@michaelfmcgee @FicheraAlessand @ASCRS_1 Agreed. I think at this point we can all agree biology is king and not necessarily surgical technique, although it does play a role for sure. However, hard for me to ignore the key in preventing recurrence is mainly driven by being on the correct biologic and good GI F/up.

[Maher A. Abbas, MD, FACS, FASCRS, FPSCRS-Honorary @dubaicolorectal]

In your institution do you test all colorectal cancer patients for HNPCC syndrome (mismatch repair genes)? RETWEET FOR MAXRESPONSE @DCRjournal @ASCRS_1 @ASCRS @AmerGastroAssn @SAGES_Updates @AGA_Gastro @ESCP @m_pera_roman @juliomayol @abbassmohd @JournalCancer @BoutrosMarylise
