Thinking about the time the Super Bowl lifted its design from a Hong Sang-soo poster.
No one except me, and @flea333 when he went on a Lee Chang dong bender…
fascinating geripal podcast episode w @LShoemakerDO @ClevelandClinic discussing role that #palliativecare should play in cancer survivorship. Lots of food for thought for our colorectal cancer survivorship programs @DavidLiskaMD
Should #PalliativeCare be in the business of caring for #CancerSurvivors? It’s more complicated than it seems. We talk with two palliative care docs, @lpetrillz and @LShoemakerDO, about this topic.

After 10 years, my final @ASCRS_1 Awards Committee meeting #ASCRS25. Really appreciate all members’ engagement and contributions. I’ve learned so much from you all over the years. Will again be hardest working committee #ASCRS26 led by Carter Paulson & @katerinawellsMD
Great summary here from toni and paper from him and others with the prospective lynch syndrome database re: crc risk and role of extended colectomy, still a question I struggle with in these situations... @CGAIGC @DavidLiskaMD @MattKaladyMD @abbassmohd

🚨 Just out: the PLSD's biggest prospective study yet on Lynch syndrome & colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery.
What’s the real risk of a second CRC—and can surgery prevent it?
Spoiler: Prior CRC = higher risk. Extended surgery = game changer. 👇

4 decades of data from our @ClevelandClinic Jagelman registries showing no improvement in desmoid related deaths. Call to action to work on improving outcomes for our FAP patients with desmoid disease. @DTRFoundation @ShepardDale @jamecancerdoc @AndyLatchford @OmarFaiz_SETOC
Recent @ClevelandClinic colorectal fellow @BBrajcich presenting #CGAIGC24 our Weiss center registry data on changes in FAP causes of death over time. Gastric ca uptrending, desmoids still a challenge…

I had the privilege to introduce @PaulEdWise for the #CGAIGC24 achievement award. no longer called the “career” achievement award, to avoid highly sensitive types like Paul feeling they’re being put out to pasture. Nevertheless, couldn’t find a more deserving mentor and friend.
Thank you @DavidLiskaMD it’s really the only way to sweep up those hamartomas… @CGAIGC @abbassmohd @PaulEdWise @MattKaladyMD
Great description by @jsommov Jean Wong @RebeccaGunterMD of our minimally invasive approach to “clean sweep” 🧹 for patients with Peutz Jeghers syndrome. @MRegueiroMD @ScottRSteeleMD @burkegastrodoc #WeissCenter doi.org/10.1111/ans.18883
Interesting paper, suggests we are still likely respecting too many colons for t1 cancers.
