ICAN Randomized Clinical Trial. Proud that our paper on better outcomes after intrathoracic instead of cervical anastomoses after transthoracic MIE, has been published in JAMA Surgery online. Great teamwork!

@MarkarSheraz @RichardvHill Congratulations sheraz!! Well done and well deserved

[Camiel Rosman @CamielRosman]

First Minimally Invasive Cervical Esophagectomy without thoracic access in an esophageal cancer patient in the #Radboudumc.
We are very happy and proud to make these steps together with our Japanese colleagues

Re-RTx less effective but surgery may also be a bit more difficult, although not impossible imo. Looking forward to future studies

I agree slow growing and more chemo. If persists or recurs after giving it time, surgery may be an option if fit and after serious discussion, given that there is no other evidence of disease on new PET. Otherwise RTx

Case of AL after ivor-lewis esophagectomy:

60 yr 👨, post-op day 5, CRP 220mg/L, no organ failure, no drains in situ. CT: mediastinal collection, EGD: no ischemia. What is your initial treatment?

Help gain insight in treatment of AL, fill in our survey: https://t.co/TuyILn9t4M

@MarkarSheraz @tarik_sammour @debby_keller @marta_penna @mivanbh @SSGisbertz @profgeorgehanna Yes, we need to start benchmarking the core of our profession: what happens in theatre

[Frans van Workum @fransvanworkum]

Nice letter Sheraz and others! I completely agree with your arguments to improve the science behind measuring surgical performance and to integrate it into trials, training and benchmarking initiatives

[Sheraz Markar @MarkarSheraz]

Not so often I get to coauthor papers with @marta_penna anymore. However a short piece on a important Surgical RCT challenge transcending our individual specialties. @mivanbh @SSGisbertz @profgeorgehanna https://t.co/m5s9pO7Ikt

[George Hanna @profgeorgehanna]

PhD is essentially a training degree to acquire a new set of skills to answer a research question and beyond to solve problems in clinical practice. Not only technical scientific skills but also positive attitude and resilience. The impossible only takes a little longer.

[Sivesh K Kamarajah @Sivesh93]

Glad to have opened and recruited the first patient to the @ImperialSandC early #OG cancer Breath Study @qehbham @UHBResearch with @EwenGriffiths

Great study to be involved with in improving early diagnosis of these cancers @RCSnews

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

Can we use intraoperative video to study the effects of surgical technique? New study by @krchhabra J Thumma @ovarban @jdimick1 of @UMichSurgery @BWHSurgery shows significant associations between video evaluations & sleeve gastrectomy outcomes https://t.co/d0ZxaddcPJ
