Last shift as residents!!! 🚨
A chapter of life comes to an end, another one begins.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you @PancreasVerona: for the long nights, the guided hands, the questions without shortcuts, and surgery done the right way.
I will carry it in my heart.
Just published in *The Journal of Pathology* our new investigation on mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) and simple mucinous cysts (SMC) of the pancreas (a new precursor of pancreatic cancer!)

We are very excited to share our preprint “Clonal evolutionary analysis reveals patterns of malignant transformation in #PancreaticCancer from IPMN” @peaantonio1 @davidcwedge @stephan_dreyer Rosie Upstill-Goddard @CLuchini10 https://t.co/tt5UCgRrtN
New preprint from @dkfchang@nigeljamieson & colleagues
Clonal evolutionary analysis reveals patterns of malignant transformation in #PancreaticCancer from Intraductal Papillary Mucinous IPMN Neoplasms (IPMN)
https://t.co/01bDlDtZ1A
Phylogenetic analysis identifies two distinct evolutionary trajectories in the multistep progression of IPMNs to pancreatic cancer: one driven by a single ancestral clone, and another involving multiple independent ancestral clones.
Now in @ModernPathology our paper on intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm (IOPN) of the pancreas. It is a distinct entity among pancreatic neoplasms, with specific histological, IHC, and molecular features. And important clinical implications.

With broken hearts we announce the passing of our Director, Professor Claudio Bassi. Giant of pancreatic surgery, scientist, husband, father and grandfather, musician. Mentor of generations of surgeons across the world. Your legacy will stay forever ❤️
Introducing our latest research from PANDA group on
PanNET recurrence
📈 1402 patients studied
💡 Key findings
5 -yrs recurrence
13% distant
1.4% local disease
0.8% abdominal nodal
🚨 Recurrence linked to ~3x higher risk of mortality
🌟 5-yrs OS 75% after first recurrence
It was a pleasure to have @jhatjhmi1 from @hopkinssurgery as the @JamesIVAssoc fellow. Great to share experiences with faculties and residents on open and robotic pancreatectomy, patient management and research. And some good Italian food too! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
Study validates AJCC staging for IPMN-associated PDAC, supporting 8th ed:
✂️ Cutoffs need revisiting
🥑 Colloid tumors lose superiority in advanced stages

Congrats to my former @Harvard bandmate @CarolynBertozzi on her @NobelPrize in chemistry! We won the Ivy League Battle of the Bands in 1986 with our rockin’ group ‘Bored Of Education’, with her on keyboards & me in spandex. https://t.co/LemA6pcSPV
