Although circumferential resection margin (CRM) positivity reporting has improved over past decade, ¼ of Commission on Cancer facilities have missingness rates >16%. CRM missingness was associated with missingness in other pathologic measures.

With uptrending ctDNA, highly concerning for minimal residual disease and should re-image at shorter term intervals. Consider referral for MRD trials. @skopetz and our #INTERCEPT program are tackling.

Don’t forget about a proper omental flap. Particularly when based on right gastroepiploic and including all the omentum to the diaphragm, can get great space filling, lymphatic drainage, and avoid morbidity of gluteal or rectus flaps! Does not require high BMI!

@TAMISYoda @DCRjournal APER will never be morbidity free and post RT 1/3 have delayed healing which patients hate (RCT data). So, if radiated then always. Gluteal is easier and doesn’t sacrifice the remaining rectus. No free lunch anywhere here! @DrGarciaAguilar @juliomayol @ColonCancerDoc @cmf2x

@JohnRTMonsonMD @MDAndersonNews @TAMISYoda @Leo708 @ASCRS_1 Still much to learn. 👍 growing recognition lateral node metastases should not be ignored or overlooked. Lateral dissection, whether based on pretreatment findings or selectively based on post treatment findings should be part of the management strategy. #OncSurgery
