During this webinar, presenters will look at surgeon readiness for operating following neoadjuvant immunotherapy and targeted therapies, while sharing new knowledge of pathology review and standardized assessment of pathologic complete response (pCR). The program reinforces the rationale for adjuvant therapy continuation, drawing on evidence from AEGEAN, including event-free survival outcomes, pathology-linked insights, and postoperative treatment sequencing. The session also defines the surgeon’s role in educating patients across the full treatment journey.
In his 2026 STS Annual Meeting presentation, Defining Success in Surgical Treatment of Afib: The Need for Standardization, Dr. Michael Bowdish discussed the development of a new quality measure for the treatment of preoperative atrial fibrillation and the evidence for long-term benefits to patients whose AFib is treated during cardiac surgery.
