I was so honored that Sonia M.Salmon-Gayle, LCPC, NCC invited me to give some opening remarks at this amazing (and enjoyable) #lungcancer fundraising & awareness event last night: Cinderella Cares Comedy for Cure, supporting local organizations as well as GO2 for Lung Cancer! dccomedyloft.com/shows/252005

What an informative and inspiring event. Thank you Black Health Matters for bringing blackhealthmatters.com to DC! #BlackHealthStartsHere GWThoracic looks forward to supporting next year's expo!

I know it's April Fool's, but too mean, White Coat Investor !

I was so glad to see so many GWU_ALCSI members at the GO2 for Lung Cancer #VoicesSummit last week. Thank you for dedicating your time to advocate for increased lung CA research funding and screening access on Capitol Hill! GWThoracic

Thank you to Shreya Papneja & the GW University ALCSI chapter for the invitation -- it's always invigorating to talk with dynamic, enterprising young leaders who are engaged in important issues like disparities and lack of access in #LungCancer screening.

Reasons not to be screened for lung cancer — and why they don't hold up. Check out this article by Dr. Dan Boffa addressing common reasons people give for not participating in lung cancer screening 🫁

Potentially practice-changing and very real-world-relevant! We had already stopped getting post-pull CXR UCSF-East Bay KPNorthernCal and we had partly adopted this practice Yale Thoracic Surgery -- I have now implemented this in my own practice GWThoracic, supported by these findings.

A research team led by Sora Ely, MD (including Jeffrey Velotta MD FACS and Dana Dominguez, MD) of UCSF-East Bay found that the benefits of regionalization did translate to improved 1-year survival, but not 3-year survival: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34261883/

To kick off Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the GW Surgery GWThoracic team will be fundraising, volunteering, & walking for the LUNGevity Foundation Breathe Deep DC 5k event Sat @ 10AM. Please join us if you're in the area, & consider donating!

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month! GWThoracic will be hosting and participating in events all month.

Appreciated Yale Thoracic Surgery Dr. Detterbeck's humor and insight in his highly topical debate with Dr. Lanuti on GGO mgmt. Part of a really fantastic #AATS2023 session, with excellent discussion by this stacked expert panel & audience!

Congrats to my Yale Thoracic Surgery co-fellow Brooks Udelsman on his #AATS2023 presentation reminding us that, in spite of rising SBRT utilization in healthy pts (i.e. operative candidates), surgical resection is associated with statistically and clinically significant [much] better OS!

Proud to be part of this huge Yale Thoracic Surgery contingent at #AATS2023 ! Brooks Udelsman Peter Zhan andrew dhanasopon (not pictured but also representing: Dr. Justin D. Blasberg Gavitt Woodard)

Congratulations Peter Zhan on this excellent poster characterizing the risk of COVID-19 infection during the course of lung CA treatment at #AATS2023 .

So excited to be part of this great contingent (with Frank Detterbeck, Gavitt Woodard, @PeterLeeZhan) representing Yale Thoracic Surgery at the IASLC #WCLC2022 , and for my first time at this amazing conference!

Enjoying #AATS2022 with my great Yale Cardiac Surgery Thoracic co-fellow Brooks Udelsman and our chair Dr. Boffa!

Finally heard back that my abstract 'Antireflux Device Erosion and Minimally Invasive Retrieval >30 Years Later' was accepted by SAGES is in Long Beach in 2025! for presentation at #SAGES2021 ! 🎉 (Now what're the odds that the conference will stay non-virtual?? 🤞)
