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!

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

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 🫁 San Francisco Chronicle 👉sfchronicle.com/sponsoredartic…

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/

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.

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.

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

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 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

I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this amazing program and to meet our incredible mentors and other mentees in person at the IASLC Academy Workshop today! Now excited for #WCLC24.

Always great to reconnect at IASLC #WCLC24, especially with the legendary Dr. Frank Detterbeck and my Yale Thoracic Surgery roots!

Congratulations to Yale Thoracic Surgery's Gavitt Woodard on her IASLC Young Investigator Grant, getting recognized here during the #WCLC24 Award Ceremony! WomenInThoracicSurg

Benefits of the lost art of in-person #ThoracicSurgery fellowship interviews: getting to know our future colleagues and lifelong friends! ❤️🫁🫀

Grateful to be surrounded by such incredible colleagues in thoracic oncology 🙏🏽 Benjamin Levy Stephen V Liu, MD Matthew Smeltzer Aakash Desai, MD, MPH Bruna Pellini, MD Sora Ely, MD #WCLC24 #LCSM

Congratulations Jeff Yang MD FACS on your well deserved recognition by IASLC w the Cliff Mountain staging award. Your lecture meaningfully demonstrated how staging is a language we share w each other, with patients and with the public. You and ALCSI are inspiring a generation!

Hard to believe it all started nearly a decade ago when a case-hungry UCSF-East Bay intern wandered into Jeffrey Velotta MD FACS's thoracic OR — now meeting each other as attendings at IASLC #WCLC24! But still my mentor for life ❤️🫁

1/3 of #LungCancerScreening-eligible, unscreened pts diagnosed with #LungCancer (those not rescued by the Lung Nodule Program) had a clinical encounter in the 1-3y preceding dx! Great talk about these "missed opportunities" and more by Raymond Osarogiagbon, MBBS, FACP. IASLC #WCLC24

Interesting and vigorous discussion on #LungCancerScreening paradigms and health equity, even in this LAST session of IASLC #WCLC24! Love it! Matthew Smeltzer Long Jiang Loretta Erhunmwunsee, MD, FACS Alexandra Potter & Sarah Skolnick
