Single dose of nivolumab before isolated limb perfusion #ILP for melanoma in-transit metastasis #ITM : a phase Ib/II trial doi.org/10.1016/j.ejso… Carl-Jacob Khailat Holmberg Lars Ny Winan van Houdt

How to perform isolated limb perfusion #ILP for advanced extremity malignancy: a consensus guideline authors.elsevier.com/c/1imvs2gGSo74… #sarcoma #melanoma European Journal of Surgical Oncology

This is excellent (EXCELLENT!) research driven and performed by surgeons! Congratulations to the Sahlgrenska team!

Just out! Interim analysis of the NivoILP trial. Nivo+ILP for #melanoma ITM found to be safe and of promising efficacy. Eagerly awaiting the full phase II results!!

Occasional reminder that after trauma thoracotomy or sternotomy, if IV access cannot be obtained quickly enough, it is possible to put a 13 Fr perfusion cannula directly into the right atrium using a pursestring suture.

This can be used until you *do* have other access.

Today I successfully defended my PhD-thesis ”Melanoma surgery in the era of modern immunotherapy”. Thank you to Sahlgrenska Academy and my supervisors Prof Roger Olofsson Bagge, Prof Lars Ny and Dr Katsarelias! Doctoral studies have been a blast!! Now on to new research. #surgery

Now we kickoff the PhD defence of Carl-Jacob Khailat Holmberg Sahlgrenska Academy Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset with Professor Lisbeth Rosenkrantz Holmich as opponent! Proud supervisors Roger Olofsson Bagge Lars Ny Dimitrios Katsarelias

Now Carl-Jacob Khailat Holmberg Sahlgrenska Academy @Sahlgrenska starts his PhD defense!

🧵regarding the 117 deaths in The Iliad where Homer provided details about the mechanism of injury:

Here we will run an M&M conference to consider whether these deaths might have been preventable if the Achaeans and Trojans had modern Level 1 trauma centers at the time.

Roger Olofsson Bagge är en av stjärnorna på Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset Han och teamet gör världsunika behandlingar mot metastaser på ben/arm/lever efter melanom. Han sköljer koncentrerad varm cytostatika igenom kroppsdelen - sen vittrar metastaserna bort. Ungefär så. #SU_ordföranden #hederssymposiet

SECOMBIT -such an important trial teaching us how to “play our best cards” in BRAF mut melanoma. ♥️♠️♦️♣️
Thanks Paolo A. Ascierto, it has been great to participate and congrats on the well deserved Nature Communications publication!!

… I’m telling you it’s gonna work. People just need to be faster. At our center we can get the REBOA in place in 5 minutes. We’re also looking at partial inflation or intermittent inflation. It’s gonna work, it’s gonna replace ER thoracotomy…
