Great to see the results of JCOG0802 published in @TheLancet. This is a practice changing trial (for at least some parts of the world) of lobectomy vs. segmentectomy for peripheral stage I lung cancer </=2cm. #lcsm #tssmn 
The authors suggest that segmentectomy should now be the standard surgical procedure for these patients.
The results are truly outstanding with 5 year overall survival >90% in both arms, new standards for early stage lung cancer.
Can we improve how we treat cancer with stereotactic radiation? Yes, we can.
Here’s a @ClinOncology editorial with Drs. @MichaelTMilano & Alina Mihai on including clinical treatment volumes (CTVs) for microscopic disease.

Radiation therapy (RT) can non-invasively treat microscopic disease. In curative settings, RT complements or competes w/ surgery to improve cancer care and patient outcomes.
I’ll discuss how matters using curative lung cancer and metastatic disease as examples. 2/

Stereotactic RT lets us give very high doses safely. Advances in medical physics & computer programming, matched w/ clinical trials, show we can improve tumor control & decrease central “in-field” failures. Its evolution initially required ignoring microscopic disease. 3/
Great talk by Dr. John Puskas from @MountSinaiNYC on #OPCAB at the @STS_CTsurgery Chinese Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular Surgery meeting! #TSSMN #CTSurgery
1/ i was afraid you were hanging your argument on this calculation from @DrAlexLouie (of whom I’m a fan) but this is irrelevant to our current discussions...for so many reasons. Most importantly, these numbers are for clinical stage 1 #lungcancer not our 6cm cN0 mass #tssmn
2/all cancers meeting guideline criteria for invasive mediastinal staging are usually not clinical stage 1 & thus your numbers (even if we accept them as being valid) do not apply. #tssmn
3/most importantly however, these patients with N2 disease are not allowed to get best therapy for their stage upfront (ie systemic therapy). Mediastinal staging is all about how to get #lungcancer patients to the best first therapy (ie neoadjuvant vs upfront local Rx) #tssmn
1/Sorry, my friend. I’m not seeing the logical connection between your question/premise & the evidence you quoted. Can you please clarify?
Your premise is that cN0 patients should not get invasive mediastinal staging. Your evidence focuses on benefits of adjuvant therapy. #tssmn
Your premise is that cN0 patients should not get invasive mediastinal staging. Your evidence focuses on benefits of adjuvant therapy. #tssmn
2/the whole point of invasive med staging is to ensure that patients with ⬆️likelihood of having N2 disease are directed towards upfront/definitive systemic therapy rather than non-SOC upfront/definitive local therapy. Thus, evidence should focus on Neoadjuvant therapy #tssmn
3/consider this :
do you think it’s ok to go directly to surgery or #SBRT for 6cm highly PET-avid #lungcancer which is cN0 on PET/CT, without EBUS?

Hey @AubriWasHerName, I’m going to respond publicly because I think you ask a great question that others may want answered as well: can you have a family in #Surgery, particularly #CTSurgery? Short answer: yes! But I’ll say more.

So first, a bit of my background: I’m an incoming gen surg resident and will pursue a CT fellowship. I have 2 kids, a 6yo stepson and a 2mo old. I was raised by a female CT surgeon who had 4 kids in gen surg residency (shoutout @jschwabe). My wife is a hospitalist attending.

Surgery has gotten much friendlier to work/life balance, but training will be very hard no matter what. Your husband will be working 80+ hrs/week for 5-8 years. That’s challenging. But doable! Having a support system is CRUCIAL.
