    SSO Education Series: Indigenous Peoples: Cancer Care and the Research the Drives It

    This podcast was recorded on September 30, which is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and features an interview with Dr. Nadine Caron, who was the first Indigenous female surgeon in Canada. Dr. Caron shares her experience and perspectives from her leadership roles in health equity for First Nations peoples in Northern British Columbia with Dr. Cord Sturgeon and Dr. Masha Javid. The conversation explores the inequities in cancer care and cancer outcomes among Indigenous Peoples. Cancer incidence and survival among Indigenous People, gaps in knowledge, drivers of inequity, and a path forward for developing trust are discussed.

    SOI Article Series: The Prognostic Role of Post-operative cfDNA after Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

    In this inaugural episode of the Surgical Oncology Insight series of SurgOnc Today®, Dr. Shishir Maithel, Editor of Surgical Oncology Insight, SSO's open-access journal, discusses with Dr. Brett Ecker the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis characterizing the incidence of cfDNA-positivity after resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases  with quantification of its sensitivity and specificity for postoperative recurrence, as reported in his article, "The Prognostic Role of Post-operative cfDNA after Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis."

    Superficial Soft Tissue Sarcoma

    The surgical management of superficial soft tissue sarcoma require a multidisciplinary surgical team given the defect and reconstruction required from an extended resection to achieve negative margins. This team most often includes the primary surgeon (surgical oncology or orthopedic oncology) and a plastic surgeon.  A critical decision in the treatment plan is whether or not to reconstruct immediately at the index operation or delay final reconstruction pending pathologic assessment of margins.  In this podcast, we will focus on the multidisciplinary surgical approach for superficial sarcoma. We will highlight the role of delayed reconstruction and key clinical considerations in this approach.

    Is a Diverting Ostomy Needed for All Rectal Resections?

    In this episode of SurgOnc Today®, Dr. Patrick Sullivan is joined by Dr. Nicole Lopez and Dr. César Reátegui to discuss diverting ostomy. Current practice guidelines suggest that diverting ostomy is the standard of care in surgical management of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy to minimize the risk of clinically significant leak which can then result in permanent colostomy. However, the risk of anastomotic leak after neoadjuvant chemoradiation ranges from 4-12% suggesting that most patients have unnecessary ostomy and additional surgery. With improvement of surgical techniques, utilization of robotic surgery and recent adoption of more TNT approaches, selective use of diverting ostomy will lead to improvement in QOL and decrease in health care costs with minimal impact on incidence of permanent colostomy.
