@MarcBesselink @ASCO @DPCG_official @Caspervaneijck @EAHPBA @AHPBA @IHPBA @EurPancClub @PancreasVerona Adj. Gem 17% 5y OS in ESPAC3, 28 % with Gem Cape in ESPAC4, the 6% 5 year OS in the immediate surgery arm looks bleak even after taking into account only 51% received the post op chemo. Does the NA Rx 20% 5y OS look good only because upfront surgery did unexpectedly badly?

@MarcBesselink @IHPBA @HoggNDMD @EAHPBA @YouppiePancreas Now enthusiastic surgeons need to find a way to convince the government and insurance to pay for the Porche to replace the Ford model T especially in LMIC countries!

@cspramesh Any takers for a paper on 'The effect of the COVID 19 pandemic on the rational interpretation of data and publications' ?

@Shrikhande_SV @IHPBA @TataMemorial @SirohiBhawna @drjagannath @drsadiqs Congratulations to Shailesh, Bhavna and Anil for this balanced overview. Early detection and differentiation of inflammatory thickening and cancer preoperatively is fertile ground for research.

@ETHealthWorld @HospitalHinduja Not just dedicated to her work but a fabulous and compassionate human being. We dont need awards to know she is the best! Blessed to have her as a colleague

Good message on need for Gerota fascia resection. Interestingly could not find pN0 vs pN1 numbers though LNR is focussed upon. Median node yield is 1 so 50%+ LN positive. Sure N0 was looked at in a survival prediction analysis. Multi visceral details probably a separate paper..

@sanjaynagral Which bit is tragedy sanjay? Even looks a bit like marx

As we do more complex and longer procedures should we focus more on ergonomics at conferences than repeatedly seeing technical videos?

@sanjaynagral @cspramesh We await the tocilizumab results with great interest too. Possible because of the adaptive design of RECOVERY. Results will always be credible because of transparent methodology and data presentation. Facts will always be the facts. Interpretation can be moulded though...

@cspramesh Advantage of huge pragmatic trials..very large numbers makes this believable. Credible hypothesis too as to why this is happening. Our physicians treating COVID already using steroids this way anyways..but great to have solid evidence they were correct.

At half mask is a particularly Indian problem during frequent tea breaks (useful beard protector) and poor mobile reception areas to improve yelling into the phone irrespective of who is standing nearby

@spkalantri Now it cannot be claimed there is no literature on the subject!

@sanjaynagral @spkalantri We should only take the NICE things from them.! This is an elite audience.

@sanjaynagral Sad it cannot be done online....if one can book and reserve an airplane seat with such great efficiency weeks in advance surely a hospital bed app cannot be too difficult

@WormlockHolmes @cspramesh @spkalantri @CancerGridIndia We can only do good trials during a crisis when we have done so in times of peace. RECOVERY works because of the system creating it and the culture and work ethic inculcated over decades

@DrSandipGanguly @joydeepGonco @cspramesh @IJMPOofficial @VanitaNoronha @ajumathew_ @venkymd @drvivek_onco @GlopesMd @oncology_bg @ian_tannock @Prasshmehta @batraatul85 Congratulations on being the first to publish on this very relevant subject. I am sure the increased use of teleconsultation will help in all your future endeavours on this subject in this difficult time.
