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. 👉 Full episode at bit.ly/GeriPalEp363 😀hosts @AlexSmithMD | @EWidera

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
🧵1/ 🚨 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. 👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf061

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.
