📢 Is active surveillance ready for prime time? SANO demonstrated noninferior 2-year survival but what about long-term?

Using Markov decision analysis we examined long-term outcomes.

🚨At 5 years: esophagectomy was favoured for both QALYs & survival #Oncology

Sharing a personal essay honoring my father and the organ donors who gave us more precious time together.

I hope it inspires more people to become donors, offers courage to those waiting, and peace to families who’ve given the ultimate gift of life.

💭Guess what day it is? #NETs OR 🦓 with @MelocheDumas

She’s focusing on NETs during surg onc fellowship. The NETs field needs more dedicated surgeons like her - watch out for what’s to come!

So fun to create tailored multidisciplinary NETs rotations with @UofTSurgOnc

🆕 @AnnalsofSurgery ‼️

We examined Wait Time targets in CRC surgery in 🇨🇦

Meeting traditional targets (<28 days) isn't linked to better survival. But a new data-driven target (<45 days) is.

Time for an update? ⌛️

During my dad’s multiple transplants, La Maison des greffés Lina Cyr gave our family an affordable place to stay and comfort away from home. My team will be riding 300 km from Montreal to Quebec City on July 11–12 to give back to this incredible organization. Please support our fundraiser for this year's #DéfiVélo! 💚🚴‍♀️ https://t.co/GzMsnoiFXV
