New in @JournalofGISurg: How have IAP guidelines changed how we select IPMNs for surgery?🔪 Across 3 guideline eras, resected noninvasive cysts got bigger ⬆️(2.6>3cm) while invasive ones got smaller ⬇️(3.1>2.8cm) @Maker_MD @UCSFSurgery @BrighamSurgery sciencedirect.com/science/au…

Check out our new paper on increased utilization of ITx in uveal melanoma liver metastases Unlike cutaneous melanoma, use of ITx was NOT associated with improved survival. More liver directed therapies are needed 🔜 @Maker_MD @UCSFSurgery @BrighamSurgery authors.elsevier.com/a/1nIEN…

Hot off the press❗️@JAMANetwork 💪. We teamed up with #Prenuvo to study elective screening MRIs in healthy asymptomatic individuals to establish the true prevalence of pancreatic cysts. Now we know 6-7% of the population has a cyst. >21% of 80+yo. #UCSFSurgOnc #IPMN @UCSFSurgery
JAMA Network Open@JAMANetworkOpenMar 11
Among 21,651 asymptomatic adults screened with MRI, 6.3% had incidental pancreatic cystic lesions, with <1% ≥3 cm; risk increased with age, female sex, and certain medical or family histories. #PancreaticCysts #MRI ja.ma/4lorGNs
Bar graph shows prevalence of PCLs, in %. Age ranges(y) are on the x-axis and prevalence of PCLs in % is on the y-axis. The prevalence of PCLs increases with age range: \u226439 (text@1), 40-49 (text@2), 50-59 (text@3), 60-69 (text@4), 70-79 (text@5), \u226580 (text@6).

The Tissue is the Tissue at #AHPBA2026 @Maker_MD gave a fantastic talk on some of the innovative ways we are taking on the biology of cancer @UCSFSurgery and @UCSFCancer! Using our own immune system to fight against cancer is how we will get the job done 🧪

Honored to join international leaders in immunotherapy, including @Maker_MD, to publish this deep-dive on what’s possible next for TIL therapy. Engineered TIL, bispecific-enhanced expansion, and pre-TIL strategies are opening doors for the treatment of GI, hepatobiliary, lung, and other solid tumors. Proud to be part of this next era of cellular immunotherapy. 🚀 @UCSFSurgery @sitcancer @UCSFCancer
