Elevating professionalism is key to much of the day-to-day work of Ellen M. Friedman, MD, FACS, FAAP, and we knew we had to have her join the Faculty Factory Podcast to learn more. Dr. Friedman serves as Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and is the Senior Associate Dean of Professionalism and the Director of the Center for Professionalism at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. The end result of the Center for Professionalism, which we discuss at length in today's episode, is a warm and positive professional climate at Baylor College of Medicine. We also dive into the concept of professionalism in general. More about the Center: https://www.bcm.edu/education/academic-faculty-affairs/center-for-professionalism  While promoting professionalism is the core service of the Center, it also has systems in place to report instances where professionalism is lacking. The problem with traditional wellness programs is that they often place the burden on the individual while systematic issues at the institution remain unresolved, as Dr. Friedman points out. The Center at Baylor aims to address those systematic issues so they don't stand in the way of wellness and progress. More than anything else, however, the Center exists to acknowledge and recognize acts of positive professionalism. “It's a very small number of individuals who are perceived to have lapses in professionalism, but unfortunately, that small group of people tends to receive the most attention,” she says. For that reason, the Center is dedicated to honoring professionals who demonstrate exemplary professionalism. More resources: https://facultyfactory.org/

In this episode, Gregory J. Tiesi, MD, FACS, FSSO, hosted a discussion about the use of hepatic artery infusion (HAI) in colon cancer and liver cancer management. Dr Tiesi is the medical director of Hepatobiliary Surgery at the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Toms River and Brick, New Jersey. He was joined by: Anthony Scholer, MD, FACS, FSSO, a surgical oncologist specializing in hepatobiliary surgery, at Hackensack Meridian Medical Group and Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey Benjamin Jon Golas, MD, FACS, regional chief of Surgical Oncology for Hackensack Meridian Health's Central Region, surgical director of Oncology Services at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, vice chair of Surgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center Cancer Surgery, and an associate professor of surgery at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in Neptune and Edison, New Jersey Eric Pletcher, MD, a surgeon specializing in Complex General Surgical Oncology at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center in Edison Drs Tiesi, Scholer, Golas, and Pletcher explained that HAI is a longstanding regional therapy used for treating primary and metastatic tumors to the liver, notably unresectable colorectal liver metastases and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The physiologic mechanism of this treatment leverages the dual blood supply of the liver, capitalizing on the fact that these malignancies primarily derive their perfusion from the hepatic artery, the experts noted. They emphasized that by delivering chemotherapeutic agents, such as floxuridine, directly via the gastroduodenal artery, HAI concentrates drug exposure at the tumor site, maximizing antitumor effect and minimizing extrahepatic toxicity.  They explained that patient selection requires fitness for surgery and good liver function, excluding those with cirrhosis or portal hypertension. They also noted that the procedure involves implanting a subcutaneous pump, followed by rigorous intraoperative and postoperative nuclear medicine studies to confirm the absence of extrahepatic perfusion. Evidence supports that HAI combined with systemic therapy achieves higher intrahepatic objective responses, improves local disease control, and enhances conversion to resectability, correlating with improved long-term survival, the experts reported. However, potential complications include pump pocket infections, biliary sclerosis, and gastric ulcers, they added. The experts concluded by highlighting that establishing an HAI program necessitates a robust, multidisciplinary approach involving surgical oncology, medical oncology, and interventional radiology.

In this episode, Gregory J. Tiesi, MD, FACS, FSSO, hosted a discussion about innovations in regional cancer therapies. Dr Tiesi is the medical director of Hepatobiliary Surgery at the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Toms River and Brick, New Jersey. He was joined by: Anthony Scholer, MD, FACS, FSSO, a surgical oncologist specializing in hepatobiliary surgery, at Hackensack Meridian Medical Group and Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey Benjamin Jon Golas, MD, FACS, regional chief of Surgical Oncology for Hackensack Meridian Health's Central Region, surgical director of Oncology Services at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, vice chair of Surgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center Cancer Surgery, and an associate professor of surgery at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in Neptune and Edison, New Jersey Eric Pletcher, MD, a surgeon specializing in Complex General Surgical Oncology at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center in Edison Drs Tiesi, Scholer, Golas, and Pletcher chatted about the use of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC), a minimally invasive regional cancer therapy designed for patients with peritoneal metastases or primary peritoneal cancers. The experts explained that this laparoscopic approach overcomes several limitations of traditional systemic treatments by delivering aerosolized chemotherapy in fine droplets under high pressure into the peritoneal cavity. This process ensures uniform drug distribution and enhanced tissue penetration, allowing for efficacy with lower systemic drug concentrations, they noted.  PIPAC candidates typically present with unresectable or recurrent disease, or symptomatic malignant ascites, and should have an ECOG performance status between 0 and 2, they elaborated. The procedure, which is repeatable every 4 to 6 weeks, includes diagnostic laparoscopy, quantification of the peritoneal carcinomatosis index, and serial biopsies to assess treatment response. They emphasized that PIPAC has a favorable safety profile, with low 30-day mortality rates and minimal grade 3/4 adverse effects reported in clinical trials. Additionally, they stated that clinical data indicate high pathologic response rates and the potential for disease downstaging, enabling some patients who were initially deemed unresectable to become eligible for subsequent cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Of note, the experts reported that PIPAC is designed to be integrated seamlessly with concurrent systemic therapy.

Closing the Gap: Understanding Gender Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care, hosted by Martha K. Terris, MD, FACS, is a limited series spotlighting unique considerations for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment among women. Dr Terris is department chair and a professor in the Department of Urology, the Witherington Distinguished Chair in Urology, and co-director of the Cancer Center at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. In the final part of this 3-part series, Dr Terris discussed how the early diagnosis of bladder cancer presents a significant challenge, particularly in female patients, who are frequently diagnosed at a later stage of the disease and subsequently respond less favorably to treatment modalities. A crucial component of early detection is the rigorous evaluation of hematuria, she emphasized. Microhematuria is defined strictly by microscopy. Reliance solely on a dipstick test is insufficient; any positive dipstick result necessitates a microscopic examination, she explained. Furthermore, patients currently receiving anticoagulation therapy do not bypass the standard workup, she noted. If hematuria is identified alongside a urinary tract infection or gynecological issue, the urine should be rechecked once the co-existing problem has cleared, she advised. Risk assessment must consider both common and less-recognized factors, particularly in women, according to Terris. Standard risks include exposure to cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide, Lynch syndrome, chronic indwelling Foley catheters, benzene/aromatic amine exposure, and smoking, she added. However, uro-oncologists must actively assess female patients for occupational exposures not traditionally associated with bladder cancer, she said. Patients presenting with microhematuria should be stratified into low-, intermediate-, or high-risk groups, Terris continued. The gold standard evaluation for high-risk patients is a cystoscopy and CT urogram, she reported. The CT urogram involves cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen and pelvis with and without contrast, incorporating delayed images to optimally visualize the renal pelvis and ureters for potential filling defects, she noted. If patients cannot tolerate contrast, an MR urogram is the primary alternative, she stated. If neither CT nor MR urogram can be performed, the default workup is non-contrast CT combined with cystoscopy and retrograde pyelograms, although this requires general anesthesia, she explained. Given that women are often diagnosed with bladder cancer late and face poor outcomes with advanced disease, maintaining a heightened awareness and low threshold for investigation is critical, Terris concluded.

Aujourd'hui, Didier Giraud, éleveur de bovins, Bruno Poncet, cheminot, et Barbara Lefebvre, prof d'histoire-géo, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.

Uday Devgan, MD, FACS, FRCS, speaks with Christopher E. Starr, MD, FACS, and Brian Shafer, MD, in two short segments drawn from CRST's October cover focus, "Refractive Cataract Roundtables." Dr. Starr reviews a practical approach to preoperative ocular surface optimization—key exam steps, stop-rules before biometry, and simple readiness markers. Dr. Shafer outlines his IOL decision framework, balancing spectacle independence and image quality, who is not a candidate for diffractive optics, and options for residual refractive error. Related perspectives appear in the October issue of CRST.

Closing the Gap: Understanding Gender Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care, hosted by Martha K. Terris, MD, FACS, is a limited series spotlighting unique considerations for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment among women. Dr Terris is department chair and a professor in the Department of Urology, the Witherington Distinguished Chair in Urology, and co-director of the Cancer Center at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. In part 2 of this 3-part series, Dr Terris discussed the disparities in treatment and outcomes for women with bladder cancer. Although bladder cancer is less common in females than in males, female patients tend to have significantly worse outcomes, Terris explained. Delayed diagnosis is a contributing factor, but the exact reasons for the poorer prognosis are not fully understood, she emphasized. Treatment difficulties begin surgically, according to Terris. From a surgical perspective, she noted that, performing a cystectomy on a woman is more challenging due to factors like pelvic varicosities and differing fat distribution, which complicate stoma creation. In terms of medical treatment, Terris also explained that women exhibit worse tolerability and higher rates of discontinuation of immunotherapy, and that they often experience poor efficacy outcomes regardless of whether they complete the course of treatment. These differences between men and women may be linked to factors such as hormonal influences or antibody introduction during pregnancy. Conversely, classic cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy have been shown to have similar overall survival and disease-free survival in eligible female and male patients. Biologically, Terris also reported that tumors in women may exhibit more effective immune escape mechanisms, possibly connected to differences in the bladder microbiome. The presence of bacteria in bladder tumors has been found to be enriched in patients who did not respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which is relevant as women are more prone to bladder colonization, she added. Overall, Terris emphasized that oncologists must be aggressive in treating women with bladder cancer, despite surgical complexities, and highlighted that early detection is key.

Closing the Gap: Understanding Gender Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care, hosted by Martha K. Terris, MD, FACS, is a limited series spotlighting unique considerations for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment among women. Dr Terris is department chair and a professor in the Department of Urology, the Witherington Distinguished Chair in Urology, and co-director of the Cancer Center at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.  In part 1 of this 3-part series, Dr Terris discussed the prevalence of bladder cancer in women, as well as reasons for diagnostic disparities that contribute to poor treatment outcomes. She noted that this disease is often diagnosed at later stages in women than in men, often resulting in diagnoses of more advanced disease and translating to poorer outcomes. She added that although female patients represent a minority of those with urothelial carcinoma, retrospective data indicate that women tend to be diagnosed at later stages and consequently experience worse survival rates, regardless of the disease stage. Dr Terris identified several theories explaining why this diagnosis delay occurs. One possible reason is patient-related: women may be less likely than men to consult a physician when they notice blood in their urine because they may be conditioned to dismiss blood if they experience menstrual bleeding. However, physician behavior and bias also contribute to diagnostic disparities, Terris said. Women with suspected hematuria typically receive fewer imaging tests, she continued. Additionally, physicians may be biased, attributing hematuria to uterine bleeding, menstruation, or other benign causes.  Overall, Terris emphasized that early detection is key. If there is any suspicion of a malignancy, patients should be referred directly to a urologist, she stated. Urologists should be willing to work up cases that might ultimately be recurrent urinary tract infections or radiation cystitis to avoid undiagnosed cases of bladder cancer in women, she concluded.
