ACADEMIC ANNUAL REPORT DIVISION OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY - 2003

Professor & Chief of Division
The Division of Surgical Oncology, Department of Oncology, University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre/Tom Baker Cancer Centre continues development in its academic, service, and research components.
Service: We look forward to the addition of Neurosurgical Oncology.
The Hepatobilary Clinic is now established with a full hepatobiliary group within the Cancer Centre. This has resulted in all significant hepatobiliary surgery for cancer in southern Alberta being located within the purview of the Cancer Centre and the University of Calgary. This group has been very active in developing a synoptic surgical record and follow-up template. They continue to accrue patients in a prospective trial on the management of liver metastases using a preoperative or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
A number of new procedures continue to be introduced into the armamentarium of surgery which are either only found in Calgary or in only a few centres throughout Canada. This includes intraperitoneal chemotherapy for advanced colorectal disease into the peritoneum, pseudomyxoma peritonei, appendix cancer, and other primary peritoneal tumors. It also includes the selective management of advanced hepatic tumors utilizing radiofrequency ablation, selective hepatic portal vein ligation, and preoperative chemotherapy. A new technique for limb perfusion has been introduced for metastatic melanoma and other cutaneous tumors. The Endocrine Surgery Group has developed a unique team where cooperation between Edmonton and Calgary is frequent with surgery, nuclear medicine, chemotherapy, and molecular targets. The Endocrine Tumor Clinic is one of the few such clinics in the world and continues to make progress on a number of rare tumors including carcinoid tumors and thyroid tumors.
Research: The efforts of the Cancer Surgery Working Group have resulted in a submission to the provincial government for funding for the entire province to introduce synoptic reporting for colon cancer, breast cancer, hepatobiliary cancer, and sarcoma. The first synoptic approach will be introduced for hepatobiliary tumors.
The quality of life study for 150 breast cancer patients, followed now for 6 years, is starting to analyze the results. The study is almost completed.
Funding continues in many areas of research, including breast cancer, hepatobiliary, immunology, and melanoma. We remain involved in international trials in melanoma and breast cancer. We are looking at the electro-characteristics of breast cancer and work to date has generated a paper on the use of this potential new diagnostic modality. Overall grant funding for our members is approximately $1.9 million.
The publications number 32 for the group for the past year with provincial, national, and international presentations numbering 80.
Administration: Members of the group continue to be active as President of the Canadian Society of Surgical Oncology, as Editors of the Journal of Surgical Oncology and Seminars in Surgical Oncology, in the Royal College Surgical Oncology Training Program Group, as Co-founder and 1st President of the Canadian Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Society, as Vice-Chair of the American College of Surgeons, and as leader in the development of the Calgary Breast Program, to name some of the highlights.
Education: Significant awards and successes have accrued in the educational area. The Surgical Oncology Training Program is now approved by the prestigious American Society of Surgical Oncology. We continue to train 2 residents – 1 in endocrine surgical oncology and 1 in general surgical oncology. We continue to have General Surgery Residents rotate through our program spending increasing time in surgical oncology to keep up with the current advances. Our members include the Chair of the University of Calgary Surgical Oncology Training Program which is Royal College approved and Chair of the General Surgery Training Program, also Royal College approved. We continue to have our Surgical Oncology Day and were fortunate in 2003 to have as our guest Dr Charles Balch, Executive Vice President and CEO of ASCO. This year we look forward to having a leader in hepatobiliary surgery from Toronto, Dr Steve Gallinger. There have been some awards to members in our division including the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Mentor of the Year Award.
Overall our division has continued development in all areas and we are extremely grateful for the support of the Alberta Cancer Board and the University of Calgary which have made this all possible.
