In this episode, surgical oncologist Dr. Seth Concors of Emory's Winship Cancer Institute discusses the role of the surgical oncologist within the multidisciplinary care team for neuroendocrine cancer. We explore what surgical oncologists do, why NET-specific experience matters, how surgical decisions are made, and what patients can expect during a surgical consultation. The conversation highlights coordination across care teams, common patient concerns, and the importance of informed decision-making and second opinions, offering practical guidance for patients and caregivers navigating surgical care in neuroendocrine cancer.TOP TEN QUESTIONS Understanding the Surgeon's Role1. What is a surgical oncologist, and what kind of training does that involve? How is a surgical oncologist similar to—or different from—other types of surgeons? Patients may hear the term “HPB surgeon.” What does that mean, and how can a patient tell if their surgeon is an HPB surgeon? 2. When a patient is looking for a surgeon, how can they find someone who is the “right fit” for them? How can patients know whether a surgeon has experience with the specific operation they may need—such as a Whipple procedure, liver surgery, or lung surgery? How important is it for a surgeon to be familiar with neuroendocrine tumors specifically?3. What should patients expect at their first appointment with a surgical oncologist? What key information are you usually trying to communicate during that first visit? What questions do you encourage patients and caregivers to ask their surgeon?4. How often should patients expect to see their surgical oncologist, and at what points in their care?Surgical Decision-Making5. How do you determine whether someone is a surgical candidate?  What is the typical goal of surgery for neuroendocrine tumors?6. If someone is not a surgical candidate initially, does that mean surgery is off the table forever? Are there treatments that can help make surgery possible in the future? How many NET surgeries can someone safely have over their lifetime? Can major surgeries—such as extensive liver resections—affect eligibility for future treatment options?Multidisciplinary and Coordinated Care7. How do surgical oncologists work within a multidisciplinary care team for NET patients? How do you collaborate with providers at different institutions, such as a local oncologist working with a NET specialty center?8. What is your perspective on second opinions, specifically for neuroendocrine cancer?9. Many patients worry about carcinoid crisis during surgery. How do you address and manage those concerns?Preparing for Surgery10. Patients often ask how they can best prepare—physically and emotionally—for surgery. What guidance do you typically offer?BONUS: What research is currently being done involving neuroendocrine surgery?ABOUT THE SPEAKERSeth Concors, MD, is an academic surgical oncologist at Emory University and the Winship Cancer Institute, where he serves as Associate Program Director for both the General Surgery Residency and the Complex General Surgical Oncology Fellowship, and Director of the Surgical Oncology Research Fellowship. He leads Emory's Peritoneal Surface Malignancy and Neuroendocrine Tumor surgical programs, with clinical and research interests focused on gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, cytoreductive surgery/HIPEC, and survivorship outcomes. Dr. Concors is actively involved in national surgical societies, including SSO, SSAT, NANETS, ACS, and ECOG-ACRIN, and his work emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration, prospective outcomes research, and surgical education. He is committed to advancing patient-centered cancer care while mentoring the next generatioFor more information, visit NCF.net.

In surgical residency, cases are long, expectations are high, and patient care always comes first. But then you become a parent, and suddenly you're navigating pregnancy risk, parental leave, and lactation logistics in a system that wasn't built for it. We've made meaningful progress over the past decade, but too many trainees still face becoming parents in residency without clear, consistent support. In this episode, join Dr. Kara Button with Dr. Arielle Kanters and Dr. Sarah Shubeck as they ask: How do we build a surgical workforce that's skilled, resilient—and genuinely supported as surgeon-parents? They'll share practical, evidence-based steps programs can take to make parental support the norm—not the exception.Hosts:Kara Button, DO — General Surgery Resident, Maine Medical Center; Behind the Knife Surgical Education FellowArielle Kanters, MD — Colorectal Surgeon; Associate Program Director, Colorectal Surgery Fellowship, Cleveland ClinicDr. Sarah Shubeck, MD — Assistant Professor of Surgery; Breast Surgical Oncologist, University of ChicagoReferences:Bamdad MC, Hughes DT, Englesbe M.

  Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. Today, they had a special Guest: Phillip Romanski, Associate Research Director of US Fertility. He is also an Assistant Professor and Associate Program Director of the reproductive endocrinology fellowship at Mount Sinai. In this episode, the docs explore how research shapes the future of fertility care. As Associate Research Director for US Fertility, Dr. Romanski shares how the organization leverages its extensive national data to support studies that directly influence patient outcomes. With eight to nine active clinical studies, patients can visit the US Fertility website to learn about current opportunities to participate, helping advance science, even if the immediate benefits are for future patients. Dr. Romanski highlights a recent study examining development in embryos that initially appeared to have abnormal fertilization. Surprisingly, many of these embryos progressed to the blastocyst stage, and a significant number were genetically normal. This information may help increase the number of viable embryos for future transfer. He also discusses a recent study with unexpected results: a comparison of fertilization outcomes between ICSI and conventional insemination with frozen sperm. Traditionally, eggs are fertilized with ICSI when using frozen sperm. By dividing eggs from individual patients and comparing ICSI with conventional insemination, the team found no difference in fertilization outcomes. This finding could reduce unnecessary embryo manipulation, minimize risk, and decrease costs for patients. This episode takes a fascinating look at how research today is improving the fertility treatments of tomorrow. This podcast was sponsored by US Fertility.

Climate change, and the associated increase in frequency and severity of heat waves, poses a threat to health. Amongst the most at risk for heat-related emergencies are older adults; age-associated physiologic vulnerabilities, chronic conditions, medications that disrupt thermoregulatory responses, and social determinants all contribute to an increased risk of heat-related illness in this population. When an older adult presents to the emergency department (ED) with vague or subtle symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, they may be missed by ED practitioners – a concerning thought as these patients are at a greater risk of mortality from heat-related emergencies. Optimal management of these presentations requires clinical recognition and treatment within the ED as well as pre-hospital interventions that can be given by emergency medical services (EMS). GEMCast host Dr. Christina Shenvi is joined by Geoff Comp, Associate Program Director at Creighton University School of Medicine/Valleywise Health Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, as the two do an in-depth review of this critical topic. Dr. Comp holds a wilderness medicine fellowship through the Wilderness Medical Society and is an expert in heat-related illness.

Some topics in pediatrics are flashy — like seizures, mystery rashes and fevers. While those often make headlines, others, like pediatric nephrology, are a routine but critical part of daily practice. Understanding these bread-and-butter issues is essential to diagnosing so many patients. Protein in the urine, blood pressure creeping up or a UTI that is more than ‘just a UTI' are often signs that something may be wrong with the kidneys. In this episode, we examine those practical essentials and learn how PCPs can feel confident in managing these diagnoses. This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor of the 2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. Joining us for this episode are Bradley Warady, MD, and Nathan Bines, MD, both from Children's Mercy Kansas City and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine.
