DCIS, Surgical Cases in Trauma from Clinical Congress Will Be Detailed in Webinars This Week

April 22, 2025

Clinical Congress Session Showcase is a popular webinar series that highlights select Panel Sessions and Video-Based Education (VBE) sessions presented at Clinical Congress 2024, using the original session as a base and building on it with fresh perspectives from panelists. 

This week features two noteworthy topics.

Surgical Cases in Trauma

Tuesday, April 22 | 6:00–7:30 pm CT (Live)

This VBE webinar revisits our session focusing on special cases in Trauma. The ACS will share clips and presentations from the Surgical Cases in Trauma VBE session. Attendees can expect to gain familiarity with various surgical operations and conditions, explore advanced procedures, and engage directly with moderators and speakers as they answer questions live.

1.5 CME credits are available, and the webinar recording and course will be available on demand through July 24, 2025.

Ductal Carcinomas in Situ (DCIS): Who Needs an Operation and Who Doesn't?

Thursday, April 24 | 6:00–7:00 pm CT (Live)

Building on the original Panel Session from Clinical Congress 2024, experts will offer additional insights and tips on the management of DCIS. The latest retrospective literature now suggests that some cases of DCIS may be treated with observation or with de-escalation, and soon the results of the Comparison of Operative to Monitoring and Endocrine Therapy for low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ (COMET) trial will determine if observation of DCIS is safe in certain patients. While observation of DCIS may be on the horizon, there are many patients who will continue to require multimodal therapy.

This session will summarize the latest literature on this ever-changing topic and emphasize an important surgeon lesson: when not to operate.

2.5 CME credits are available by participating in this live webinar, and the webinar recording and course will be available on demand through July 24, 2025.
