48% misclassified pathology in appendiceal cancer needs an unorthodox approach. We collaborate with Wake Engineering for an AI/ machine learning algorithm to assist with proper classification. Will be reaching out for collective action. Stay tuned. surgjournal.com/article/S0039-…

#WFORCE was granted from NIH a critical first R01 to study tumor clonality in appendix and colon cancer treated with CRS/HIPEC. Shoutout and gratitude to our passionate and talented team, dedicated to the cause of innovative ways to conquer cancer !!!

Our new pub in CCR is now early released online. Immunotherapy effect on appendiceal cancer treated with CRS/HIPEC. Can we possibly use organoid data to guide clinical trial enrollment in rare diseases? Supported by the ACPMP and NORD grant. clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/early/…

#WFORCE Teamwork at its best! We were honored with a rare score for a rare primary. Our 2nd R01 award in 6 months and probably NCI's first R01 dedicated exclusively to appendiceal cancer. Humbled to be part of this talented team, fighting to make a difference in cancer care.

By far, the most stunning OR suite view I have ever seen -Baptist MDA, Jacksonville, FL-where Dr. Chouliaras started a peritoneal malignancy program !

Organoids are important for all #rare cancers. Longitudinal grow and storage into living tumor banks can neutralize the impact of rarity #WFORCE #AnnSurgONC link.springer.com/article/10.124… In the next 3 months we will share our work on #Merkel cell, #pheochromocytoma and #mesothelioma
