Huge disparity in #radiotherapy access between nations ⬇️
Sadly in 2024 access to life saving life extending and life improving radiation therapy is still an issue for millions of patients with cancer

NEW: A country income-group analysis aims to estimate the current and projected demand and supply in megavoltage radiotherapy machines in the Asia-Pacific region, using an adjusted model accounting for the later stage of presentation seen in many LMICs.

This is brilliant - vaginal oestrogen does NOT increase risk of recurrence and death in this cohort study in @JAMAOnc
This study found that women with breast cancer who used vaginal estrogen therapy (vaginal creams or vaginal tablets), compared with no hormone replacement therapy use, did not appear to have an increased risk of early breast cancer-specific mortality. ja.ma/3QpcVL2

Very important review/recommendations from ASCO “Oncology providers should recommend regular aerobic & resistance exercise during active treatment with curative intent & may recommend preoperative exercise for patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer”

1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer. That’s a dad, uncle, brother, partner or best mate. We think they’re worth saving. Share @ProstateCancerUK’s 30-second online risk checker now. prostatecanceruk.org/wca-ris…

Pre and post pandemic- national workforce standards are needed more than ever. Let's use them as an effective lever for improving quality of service delivery and upholding professional practice standards across the UK. And holding to account when they are not consistently met.
The Nursing Workforce Standards outline what’s needed to ensure:
✅services are properly staffed
✅ safety is prioritised
✅staff are supported to provide the highest quality of care
Find out how you can use these standards as a positive tool for change: bit.ly/3usKi3F

Great feeling to publish this paper in @JAMANetworkOpen
We found patients with low pre-Tx Hemoglobin, high BMI, were older & women were more prone to developing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy after completing treatment.
