What a fascinating study by @sarahleemdmba on disaggregating AAPI in NCDB #sgo2023 #SGOMtg @SGO_org @nyulangone 1/4 patients couldn’t be disaggregated. Wish we could replicate in a robust database for the melting pot of Latinos

Striking data presented by @dholakiamd - Fellows and early career Gyn Onc faculty are unprepared for productivity negotiation. @MLiangMD @EmelineAvikiMD #sgo2023 #SGOMtg #PatientsPurposeProgress

#SGOMtg: A randomized trial compared standard chemotherapy plus dostarlimab or placebo. Patients with mismatch repair–deficient tumors had 2-year progression-free survival of 61.4% with dostarlimab and 15.7% with placebo. Read full results of RUBY trial: nej.md/40lFbBN
Shown are Kaplan–Meier estimates of progression free survival in the population with mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR), microsatellite instability–high (MSI-H) disease

Late breaking at #SGOMtg: In patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, the addition of pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than chemotherapy alone. nej.md/3FJ4J3R

🧵regarding the 'suture ligature' or 'stick tie', or whatever you call it in your part of the world. Here, I'll use my long-suffering chickens to show 3 different methods for doing a 'suture ligature', and we'll go over a couple of pointers that apply to all of them. (1/ )

It’s time to value women’s health. Reimbursement for gyn oncology lags behind inflation and other physician specialties. #sgo2023 #SGOMtg Thank you Dr. Podwika UVA for shedding light on this.

Dr Horowitz presenting important data from GOG 279 on the role of #gemcitabine in vulvar SCC. Interesting use of radiosensitizing characteristics of #gemcitabine in a disease traditionally treated with a disfiguring and functionally debilitating dz. #SGOMtg #sgo2023

🧵regarding some technical aspects of the needle holder and where to grip surgical needles, something you may not know about the packages they come in, and a comment about the ratchet. Oriented more toward the younger folks... (1/ )

Many times the needles come packaged so that it facilitates picking them up right at one of the two classic locations we just mentioned: -the midpoint (red arrow) -or about 2/3 back (blue arrow)

Navy seal: "Training did not select for the strongest and fastest… instead those that in their worst moments found it within themselves to help a fellow seal." That statement made me think about medical training… what types does it select for? And is it the right types?

A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.
