Does comparing Pacific 2 (100% stage 3 L curve) to KN671 (70% stage 3 R curve) give us some guidance on whether pts with truly “resectable” stage IIIA & B lung cancer should have neoadj chemo-IO or definitive CRT upfront? Lots of such pts are still receiving CRT… #LCSM

Great lung cancer session this morning at Canadian Association of Thoracic Surgeons discussing (borderline) resectable NSCLC Jonathan Spicer MD PhD & Dr French, GGO management Dr Huang

Respectable session ;)

Great session on the new frontiers for the treatment of mesothelioma Canadian Association of Thoracic Surgeons featuring talks by Isabelle Opitz, Cheryl Ho and Dr Marc De Perrot. Lots of key nuance brought to the interpretation of #MARS2 recently presented by Eric Lim IASLC #WCLC23 .

Primäre #Organoide , 3D-Zellkulturen aus Tumorgewebe, helfen, die Vorgänge in Krebszellen besser zu verstehen und wirksamere Therapien zu entwickeln. Das #USZ gehört zu wenigen Zentren weltweit, die mit diesen Modellen forschen: scomp.ly/organoid

Mars2 results presented today by Eric Lim, discussed Paula A. Ugalde IASLC #WCLC2023 - What we learned:
🎯 selection is key (no PET/CT, mediastinal staging, no Response data - PD included?)
🤝 Surgery 2B performed in high volume centres in trials w/ more effective systemic treatment

Today #WCLC23 we presented our consensual definition on stIII NSCLC resectability, to be used in clinical trials. A great multidisciplinary effort initiated by EORTC in joint collaboration with ESTS ERS ESTRO ETOP IBCSG Partners Foundation IASLC European Society of Pathology (ESP) #LCSM Erasmus MC

New study published investigating surgeon gender and postoperative patient outcomes. The researchers found the female surgeons' patients were less likely to experience medical complications at 90 days or 1 year after surgery.
