ITSCC had great representation at the 2025 American Society for Dermatologic Surgery in the windy city 💨💨💨 Chicago! We had a great time learning from and presenting to each other on all things dermatologic surgery, immunosuppression, and cutaneous oncology 

💫💥Dr. David Carr and Dr. Katie Shahwan co-directed a session on Surgery Controversies featuring past ITSCC president, Dr. Liz Billingsley, and former ITSCC Board of Directors member Dr. Lee Wheless. 

Dr. Amrit Greene, Dr. Kimberly Ken, and Dr. David Carr presented “Taking it to the next Level: Tips and Tricks for Mastering Mohs Layers and Reconstructions in Challenging Locations.” 👁️🗣️

🔊🔊 Dr.  Sean Christensen, Dr. Melissa Pugliano-Mauro, Dr. Jake Wang, and Dr. Kathryn Shahwan led an awesome session on what’s new in immunosuppression and skin cancer. 

Dr. Emily Ruiz presented updates on high-risk and locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma 👏👏

Last, but certainly not least, Dr Sarah Arron tied to win 🥇🏆 the prestigious “Iron Surgeon” competition 🥇🏆, which utilizes funny skits to present the best evidence-based options to treat a complex, high-risk, locally-advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma case for teaching purposes 😊

Did you know that timely dermatologic screening before transplant can help identify risk factors (history of skin cancer, UV exposure, actinic damage) and set surveillance plans early? A new article in Transplant International emphasizes how pre-transplant evaluations impact long-term outcomes.

SCOPE wasn’t ALL work and no play - ITSCC members got to explore the Amsterdam canals on a boat cruise, eat delicious food, and even take a stroopwafel making class! We can’t wait to host our SCOPE colleagues in Boston next fall. 😊  
ITSCC President Dr. Anokhi Jambusaria even accepted the ITSCC trophy back from Dr. Matt Bottomley of the UK (she also gave a talk on the riSCC model – not pictured!). 
Can you spot the ITSCC stroopwafel??

A group of ITSCC members were thrilled to travel to the recent SCOPE (Skin Care in Organ Transplant Patients) meeting in Amsterdam/Leiden, Netherlands in October. They had a great time exploring the Netherlands, hearing (and providing!) a variety of great talks related to skin cancer in organ transplant recipients, and networking with our European colleagues.
