Excited to post on Twitter about @zo_116's Twitter #MOGAASM21 poster- showing that #scanxiety is talked about in negative terms & more needs to be done in this space. A novel way of understanding important issues to the cancer community. Amazing work, Zoe!

Scanxiety is not a new concept, and now we have data to show it. 55% of people with w/ advanced cancer (n=222) experience scanxiety around a CT scan. For anyone out there having scans: Scanxiety is real. You are not alone. rdcu.be/cq6Kx
Proud of @ktambui 's 1st #scanxiety project that kick-started her PhD now in Supportive Care in Cancer👏 55% of people w/ adv cancer (n=222) experienced scanxiety around a CT scan w/ ⬆️prevalence in younger & more remote @hagsie @BelindaKiely rdcu.be/cq5XC

Negative experiences around a scan were not always recognised as #scanxiety & coping strategies were not recognised as coping strategies for scanxiety. Thank you to our participants who have helped us understand this problem - so relevant to many with cancer
🚨 Interested in #scanxiety, delighted to share @ktambui's #qual analysis of experiences of people with #AdvCan. 3🗝️ themes: 🔸scan experience 🔸scanxiety experience 🔸coping with scans @BelindaKiely @drprunellab @CStatsAU link.springer.com/article/10… #PsyOnc #SuppOnc @COSAoncology

First PhD paper showing scanxiety is measured all over the shop with different tools & at different times. More consistency is needed so we can understand scanxiety better & talk about it clearly with our patients. Many thanks to @drprunellab @BelindaKiely @hagsie @CStatsAU
V pleased to share this labour of love for @ktambui 's PhD: #Scanxiety: a scoping review about scan-associated anxiety Main findings = lack of standard definition & specific measure gives @tambui much more work to do! @BMJ_Open @BelindaKiely @hagsie bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/5…

Scanxiety - ‘anxiety in patients associated with results of scans & tumour markers’. Research exploring the views of urology cancer nurses suggests scanxiety is highly prevalent & sometimes severe. Strategies needed to support patients & further research recommended #COSA19

Terrific presentation from @ktambui demonstrating 85% GUCancer #nurses has seen #scanxiety in patients @POCOG1 @ANZUPtrials #cosa19
Early survey results showing over half of people with advanced cancer have scanxiety (53%) and this can be severe (6.6/10). #COSA19 @COSAoncology @drprunellab @BelindaKiely @hagsie @CStatsAU
