Where patients receive cancer care matters. In our new @JSurgResearch study of 47,783 stage III/IV melanoma pts, care at high-volume immunotherapy hospitals was associated with greater immunotherapy use, higher survival (adjusted HR 0.83), and fewer observed racial disparities.

Project IMG at American College of Surgeons 2026! 🩵🤍 What a great opening day at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress (ACS) @amcollsurgeons 2026 in Washington, D.C.! 🙌 More than 80 IMGs from the Project IMG community are attending ACS this year, and today was all about what Project IMG represents: connecting, networking, supporting one another, and bringing the IMG community together. It was especially meaningful to reconnect with members of our community whose journeys we have watched over the years. Dr. Yeisson, now a PGY-3 at Montefiore in New York, has been part of Project IMG for more than four years and joined us at our Project IMG events at Randall’s Island back in 2022. Dr. Peks was there at our very first @theimgevent in Central Park in 2021 — and today he is continuing his journey in General Surgery residency at NYU. 🙌 We also connected with Dr. Rodrigo currently in Surgery residency in Miami, Project IMG residents from the University of Texas, and so many IMGs at different stages of their journeys. We even met members of our Project IMG Qatar community! 🇶🇦🌎 From New York to Miami, Texas, Qatar, and many other places around the world, this is what happens when we keep building the community and creating opportunities to connect. And we are just getting started! 🔥 📍 Tomorrow at 11:00 AM — make sure to join the IMG Section at ACS! If you’re at the conference, come connect with the community. 80+ @ProjectImg community members. One ACS Clinical Congress. IMGs from around the world. 🌎🩵🤍 See everyone tomorrow! 🙌 #ProjectIMG #ACSCC26 #Surgery #SurgicalResidency
