Thank you to the hard working ladies of Merit Women’s Hospital for attending the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi luncheon and Fashion Show.
These beautiful ladies help run Dr. Leys clinic and Women’s.
Every cent raised from this week’s event goes to Kamp Kandu to help educate families and newly diagnosed kids with Type 1 diabetes.
Although Dr. Ley was not able to attend, he sponsored a table to show his support.

Dr. Ley is one of the sponsors of this year’s Ultimate Fashion Show being held later this month at the Country Club of Jackson.
Diabetes is a major issue for Mississippi.
And obesity, which is often tied to the disease, makes medical treatment as surgery much more challenging for the surgical team and the health challenged patient.
Won’t you help us support this honorable foundation?
Buy your tickets now!
Hope to see you April 23rd.

Dr. Ley brings yet another FIRST to Mississippi.
Intraoperative Fluorescence Imaging.
What is it?
It's an extra procedure he adds to breast cancer surgery that helps lower the need to reexcise if tumor margins aren't clear.
Dr. Ley injects the patient with Lumicell two hours before surgery. Then, during surgery he and his team scan the tumor cavity to make sure they've removed all the cancer. Lumicell helps them locate these cells more clearly.
Dr. Ley already has a reexcision rate of less than 2% (going back to surgery)...but he hopes to drop that rate to zero with the help of this pharmaceutical additive.
Dr. Ley is known worldwide for his innovate approach in treating breast cancer. Aren't we glad to have him here at home in Mississippi.

Dr. Ley’s work continues at the Cleveland Clinic in Abu Dhabi, in the Arab Emirates.
He’s attending a one of a kind, Ni**le Sparing Robotic Mastectomy course.
Dr. Ley is among an invited group of breast cancer specialists from 32 countries. Just four are from the United States.
Ni**le Sparing Robotic Mastectomy is a cutting edge technique which has been shown to lower complication rates for patients as well as lower chances of ni**le necrosis; skin tissue dying.
Course presenters include Dr. H.S. Park from South Korea. He is the world leader in this exciting and promising field.
Dr. Ley is honored to be included.
He notes, the food and scenery aren’t bad either.

Here’s the latest on Dr. Ley’s incredible journey to learn yet another way to help his breast cancer patients.
This day, Mississippi’s favorite surgical oncologist took time out for a little sighting.
Tomorrow the class work begins.

Dr. Ley is on the move…again.
This time traveling almost 8000 miles to attend a one of a kind course to learn yet another groundbreaking option in the fight against breast cancer.
Just another reason why Dr. Ley is the absolute best in his field.
If you are diagnosed with breast cancer and referred to a general surgeon…ask a lot of questions.
How many new breast cancers do they treat a year?
Dr. Ley averages more than 550. (Plus more than 200 skin cancers.)
You have a choice. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
More on Dr. Ley’s exciting travels, and his continuing desire to learn, to help others….and to remain the best.

Wishing you health, joy and peace.
The best blessings often come in small ways.
Help us welcome the newest addition to our clan. Taylor Louise Gobble is 10 days old this Christmas day.
Grandpa Doc is one proud grandpa.

Dr. Ley recently held his annual “Thank You” holiday party for the staff at Merit Woman’s Hospital…his home base.
These friends and colleagues keep the hospital running and offer the most incredible patient care. From check in through the entire visit, this team works to make patient’s time here as painless as possible.
Thank you for all you do. You are appreciated.

Catered by our friends at ZEUS Mediterranean Grill in Flowood. Food was so delicious and owner Monte is the best!

If you see Dr. Ley wearing mismatched work shoes in the near future…give all the credit to his newest rescue/adoptee…STELLA! Shes exceeded all expectation. As do ALL the Ley girls.
She’s officially reached the $1500 mark, in shoe destruction.
(Put your shoes away Dr. Ley🫢)
And she’s tripled in size from initial projections. Way to go Stella.
Have a safe and healthy weekend.

In response to the NBC article: Dr. Ley wants to clarify a few points.
As with any interview, edits happen.
Here are his after notes.

Dr. Ley:

“Let me first apologize in advance about the NBC article.

My comment was not directed at radiation onvologists, rather the institutions. It was an abbreviation of the entire conversation, as most of the time interviews like that are.
It came across as indelicate, and for that I apologize. I know most are not motivated that way and care about the patient. (She took the one thing I said that could be construed as inflammatory and used it. )
I do believe in IORT, FOR APPROPRIATE PATIENTS. Am about to submit my experience with approximately 300 level 2 oncoplastic patients.

I know some radiation oncologists in our area treat some patients for free, we have many dedicated physicians.
I myself, bill just 172 for IORT, but the way medical coding works with multiple procedures I end up get nothing. Anyone serving patients in Mississippi finds themselves providing a good bit of care for free.”

Dr. Ley makes national news with his work and experience with IORT.
He’a on a mission to make sure its available to all qualifying breast cancer patients.
Just one way he works to make the breast cancer prognosis and process a bit better for his patients.
(Amy Slayton, quoted in the article, is one of Dr. Ley’s patients. )

The technique, known as IORT, has numerous benefits, surgeons say, but it generates less money for hospitals and radiation oncologists.
