Professor of Medical Oncology and Therapeutics Research, City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center; President, Medicine & Science, City of Hope Atlanta, Chicago, PhoenixHello. I'm Dr Maurie Markman, from City of Hope. I'll be briefly discussing a very interesting paper, which recently appeared in theThis is a different surgery, though. Here, we're talking about total gastrectomy, and obviously, for different germline mutations. This was thevariant.
I think the most important part of this analysis is, in fact, the information that is gathered, both the short-term and long-term outcomes, and the fact that this is information that needs to be shared with prospective patients who are considering the surgery. What about the negative effects? What about the short-term and long-term effects? This has to be included in the discussion with the patients. The information collected in this particular analysis, and other analyses that hopefully will be done in the future, are vitally important as part of this conversation.
