📣Welcome as we summarize some of the incredible data from #ASCO23
👉There was SO much to take in, that even focusing on GI Cancers was a challenge
🙏As always, these were the🧑‍🏫that caught OUR interest, but this is not a judgement on those we do not highlight‼️

🤔Speaking for myself, @knutjla ‘s data has shaken my practice the most (including twice last week)

@knutjla🗣️a well designed, well run trial
✅The authors even hypothesized a 20%⬆️in mOS
➡️However, pre-operative chemotherapy led to a significant⬇️in 18 month mOS😲

A #Colonoscopy #Tweetorial: (1/10)
⭐️To make yours go well
⭐️To ACE the prep

Background:
👉🏼50 yrs: Past start CRC screening
👉🏼45 yrs: New start for average risk

tinyurl.com/y7u98crs

💠Just had first colonoscopy
💠Yeah, I know. Give grace!

My 1st time tips as a GI doc! Image
Colonoscopy requires planning! (2/10)

📅 Plan a date in advance
📅 Ensure you will have a driver
📅 Be sure you pick up the prep
📅 Read instructions a week before
📅 Don’t make plans night before!
📅 Don’t make plans the night of!

Colonoscopy requires shopping! (3/10)

👉🏼Need clear liquids 24 hrs+
(longer if bad preps)

Stock up:
🥤Juice (apple/white grape)
🥤Non-fatty broth
🥤Jello, popsicles (no red)
🥤Sports drinks
🥤Coffee, tea

*also wet wipes* (later)

A “fav” of mine:
👉🏼Bone broth w/protein Image

An article describing the "45 is the new 50" change in guidelines in the US for #ColorectalCancer #Screening. Slightly biased towards $EXAS Exact Sciences Cologuard. ache.org/blog/2022/upda…
$EXAS Exact Sciences is one of the companies I track, in many ways a pioneer in the #LiquidBiopsy #CancerScreening field although with a low-tech method compared to other players in this field such as $ILMN Illumina (via @GrailBio), and what other companies are planning ...

Yesterday at #TargetedChat we talked about a challenging case of a young individual with recurrent UNRESECTABLE colon cancer after adjuvant.

Here’s a 🧵 on the questions/answers. No one right away. What would you do differently?👇🏾Read/reply along #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth Image
It was interesting to see the distribution on the chemo backbone options.

TRIPLETS 🆚 DOUBLETS #TargetedChat #CRCSM Image
👇🏾With the doublets and triplets discussion, a little bit of art 🖼 to the science 🧪

Have to see and individualize in each patient which tools 🛠 from the toolbox 🧰.

1/ Why automated quality metrics may be the key to unlocking adoption of new polyp detection technologies for #colorectalcancer screening, a brief 🧵
2/ A common refrain is that cost barriers have been the central reason for slow uptake of evidence-based polyp detection technologies (mucosal exposure caps, wide angle colo, & perhaps #AI).
3/ I think that's not the whole story. This pattern also exposes the near absence of user-friendly, automated endoscopy quality analytics tools.

#ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth ⭐️

@renehan_andrew & his team have produced world-leading research on #ColorectalCancer, involving the link to obesity & the investigation of organ preservation to avoid rectal cancer surgery.

Read about his team & their projects below 👇

Meet @NadinHawwash, a medical student intercalating on the new MB-PhD programme!

Nadin's research is part of the ABACus2 project, which is investigating the life-course exposure to body fatness & the related cancer risk!

Read about this project 👇

1/3 of high-risk rectal cancer patients will receive chemotherapy & surgery - the latter leading to co-morbidities.

@LeeMalcomson works on OnCoRe, a database which identifies non-surgery treatment alternatives such as a Watch-&-Wait strategy 👇

Colonic histology:
The colon is composed of the four layers characteristic of the gastrointestinal tract. Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis propria and serosa Image
The MUCOSA consists of two types of cells: absorptive cells and mucus-secreting goblet cells. These are arranged in closely packed straight tubular glands or crypts (of Lieberkuhn), which extend to the muscularis mucosa. Lamina Propria: abundant between cross-sections of... Image

1/9 Quick synopsis of our recent double-blind randomized study on computer-aided polyp detection in @LancetGastroHep, which can be found here: thelancet.com/journals/langa…
2/9 Previous work by our team and others have shown that #AI polyp detection can improve ADR. A major question has been whether use of on-screen computer-aided detection merely increases the vigilance of the endoscopist (vs. specifically helping find more polyps).
3/9 We enrolled 1046 pts. We tried to address operational bias by blinding the endoscopist to whether or not CADe was being used. Blinding is hard. This required development of a 'sham' CADe system by @WisionAI that alerted only to 'polyp-like' findings (bubbles, folds etc).
