What an incredible experience teaching young kids about heart anatomy! Huge thanks to @Maker_MD for bringing the @UCSFSurgery spirit to our community!
Had a fantastic time at Baywood Elementary School Science Night! 🫀✨ Students explored circulation & did hands-on heart dissections. Great way to spark curiosity in science & medicine. Huge thanks to my @UCSFSurgery colleagues who volunteered their time to inspire the next gen!
ALT Drs. Mike Conte, Jasmine Wong, Sophia Hernandez, Manvi Maker, Tommaso Pollini, Shant Vartanian, Paul Wong all taught the kids and inspired the surgical pipeline for the future!
Super proud of this amazing woman and surgeon, who also happens to be my wife! Looking forward for the next chapter of our life!

"Trivial" IPMN out on @AGA_Gastro!
⚠️No added risk of PC in subset of IPMN compared to general population!!
➡️If you want to repeat the same analysis on your dataset, you can find the commented R code at github.com/TomPoll/SIR-pancr…

"Trivial" IPMNs as potential target of surveillance discontinuation are out now on @AGA_Gastro 🔥
🧐 After 5 years of surveillance their risk comparable to that of the general population depending on
📏 Cyst size
👴 Patient Age
But how did we get here?

When you evaluate a pancreatic cyst like this, what is the risk of it being malignant that you share with the patient?
In our meta-analysis on 3292 resected MCN the risk was 16%!

Check out our latest review on IPMN on @AnnSurgOncol!
From epidemiology 🗺️ ➡️ screening impractical!
to biomarkers 🧪 ➡️ big steps in recent years! 🔝
Thanks to @paul_wongg and @Maker_MD for the great work! @UCSFSurgery @SocSurgOnc
Honored to have been able to contribute to this important review in the Landmark Series regarding IPMN guidelines, surveillance, biomarkers, and more.

The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 that you don't really need to establish the Critical View of Safety.
It was great to finally meet in person with @ThuyTranMD thanks to @IHPBA ! Looking forward to working together again in the future!! #IHPBA22 @Maker_MD

@CalthorpeLucia, @UCSFMedicine congrats for a well done presentation “Contemporary Trends in Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma: Incidence and Survival in the United States” @SocSurgOnc, very proud @UCSFSurgery
What a year! Life changing experience for an aspiring surgeon/scientist! So proud of the work we did! @Maker_MD @IHPBA @SalviaRobi @Gio_Marchegiani
Congratulations @TomPolli1 on presenting biomarkers of IPMN at @IHPBA @AHPBA and receiving the Kenneth Warren Fellowship! No greater joy than seeing our mentees soar. @UCSFSurgery

Cystic serous adenoma 🌻 compressing the bile duct / close to the MPD in asymptomatic patient
🧐 What are your indications for surgery ?!
Our last series on @AnnalsofSurgery surgery is for

A ton of updates on the epidemiology of #pancreaticcancer worldwide on @AGA_Gastro!
- Increase in incidende & mortality worldwide 📈
- Increased incidence even in patients <50y/o 😱
--> long way to go on prevention!!
@drwong_martin 🇭🇰
@IHPBA
gastrojournal.org/article/S0…
As the incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing even in rich countries where risk factors (smoke, alcohol, obesity, phisical inactivity) are stably high,
should we change our mind and consider that #PancreaticCysticNeoplasms incidence is also increasing for real?
A huge international effort to assess to impact of Neoadj cht on PD+portomesenteric vein resection in R/BR-PDAC out on @AnnalsofSurgery!
- Increased R0
- better 5-y OS
