Very cool.

Syed A. Ahmad Julio Mayol UC College of Medicine UC General Surgery Residents UC General Surgery Thank you for this glimpse. Quite rare to see a traditional 'theatre' nowadays. The experience is definitely more immediate without the desks of a lecture theatre. I'm glad you have the rails because the steep pitch always made me feel a bit vertiginous!

Showtime Slim in the building! Isaiah Evans

Such an amazing #ASOChat ! Disparities in surgical oncology are near & dear to my 🩷. It's an honor to learn from colleagues in the field doing such high level work that I admire! Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH. Thx to AnnalsSurgOncology, Chris Childers & Syed A. Ahmad for your leadership!

Thank you to everyone for joining the discussion live and looking forward to continuing it throughout the evening and week!

Thank you so much to my co-host Allison Martin, MD MPH and our fearless AnnalsSurgOncology SoMe leader Syed A. Ahmad for this opportunity

Thank you Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH

And thanks to our moderators Chris Childers Allison Martin, MD MPH

AnnalsSurgOncology

THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!

Nadege Fackche M.D.🇨🇲🇺🇸 Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS AnnalsSurgOncology This really speaks to the power of this type of research. We may not find the 'cure' to breast cancer but the impact crosses diseases and can have exponential returns!
#ASOChat

Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS AnnalsSurgOncology Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH A6. So much to unpack here. 🩷the phrase 'cells to society' (bookmarking that one!). This is going to be years of work — how do you identify collaborators outside of your institution? How do you include other racial/ethnic/geographic groups? #ASOChat Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH

Chris Childers Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS AnnalsSurgOncology Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH A5. So much room for debate regard which measure of socioeconomic disadvantage to include (if you need to include one) + new measures coming down the pike all the time! Definitely important to Know Your Variables. See my co-hosts' replies above! #ASOChat

Allison Martin, MD MPH Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS Syed A. Ahmad AnnalsSurgOncology I'm sure Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS knows way better than me, but my understanding is funders WANT to see a conceptual framework in your grant applications... be it your own or one that you are using to frame your questions
#ASOChat

Q7. How do you interpret these findings? What actionable information does it provide to clinicians and how might this change the way surgeons and systems approach patients as they navigate their cancer journey? #ASOChat Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH

Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH Chris Childers Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS Syed A. Ahmad AnnalsSurgOncology Speaking of conceptual frameworks…so impt for researchers to develop! How does this study fit a broader conceptual framework that makes sense of social context & disparate health outcomes for pts w/ breast cancer (especially those with higher related mortality)? #ASOChat

AnnalsSurgOncology Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH A6)Yes, this reflects the importance of a conceptual framework that links neighborhood-level factors to clinical and biologic correlates to study population health and epidemiological outcomes. #ASOChat

Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS AnnalsSurgOncology Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH Another super important concept in observational/database/HSR research... if you have multiple variables that measure a similar concept, those variables can be 'collinear' and you end up losing the ability to find statistically significant findings...
#ASOChat

Q6.In a recent AnnalsSurgOncology author reflection, Drs. Goel and Hernandez suggest a “translational epidemiologic” framework to understand how neighborhood-level factors influence breast CA subtypes? Can you talk more about that? #ASOChat Neha Goel MD, MPH, FACS Alexandra Hernandez, MD, MPH
