This is probably the most important publication we have published for trainees and senior oncologists alike. This provides answers to almost every question you have about surrogate endpoints in oncology. This is a must-read for anyone with an interest in cancer trials. FREE!
Our brilliant @ChelwestFT ADOC team were delighted to be recognised by the @RMPartnersNHS rapid diagnostic clinic celebration day. The first clinic of its kind to be developed for investigating patients with vague symptoms to diagnose cancer. Earlier diagnosis improves outcomes!

We have 2 trials of bispecific antibodies in lung cancer open and running @ChelwestFT
In fact, recruited the first patients in Europe to both of these
🦸
Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) allow therapeutic applications that cannot be achieved using conventional antibodies. There are 14 bsAbs approved: 11 for cancer & 3 for non-oncology indications. This review summarizes this very active field, including bsAb signaling pathway modulators, tumor-targeted receptor agonists, ADC, bispecific T cell, natural killer cell & checkpoint inhibitors.nature.com/articles/s41573-0…

Great to share our data & generate discussion around management of malignant bowel obstruction @myESMO . Data collected from the @WestMidHospital @ChelwestFT AOS team highlighting need for MDT involvement and national guidelines to improve patient care and experience #ESMO2024
Malignant bowel obstruction: from outstanding @WestMidHospital AOS team
❗️24% died during admission
❗️74% had no further SACT
❗️Only 50% referred to palliative care
👉 Need MDT discussion for every case
👉 Need national guidelines for best management

Great to join @Cancer52org at the #bigcancer52conversation today, talking about the DETERMINE clinical trial which is open for patients of all ages with rare cancer across the ECMC network @CR_UK @ECMC_UK

With the rising incidence of #colorectal #cancer (particularly in younger adults) this really is a ‘tidal wave’ of a response curve - can’t wait for the phase 3 RCT!
@kevinjmonahan @bowelcanceruk @bhmullish @PaulKMiddleton @ravindhi
Ecstatic and proud to share the NICHE-2 results, now published in @NEJM. Out of 111 pts, 95% had an MPR , and 68% a pCR after only 4 weeks of #neoadjuvant #immunotherapy. Grateful to the pts and colleagues who made this possible. @HaanenJohn

Nice to see some of our @ChelwestFT ADOC data being shared at #BTOG24. Our RDC has a brilliant team of GPs, nurses and consultants to improve faster diagnosis of cancer in patients with complex and vague symptoms
Proud to see @ChelwestFT Rapid Diagnostic Clinic data presented at #BTOG24
👉 Lung is commonest cancer diagnosed
👉 RDC presentation associated with older age, complex symptoms & raised inflammatory markers
👉 RDCs import patent in presentation of lung cancer

Cervical cancer will be almost eliminated in coming decades if HPV vaccination rates are high in children.
In England HPV vaccination coverage in schools is rising again but still below pre-pandemic levels. Please encourage children to get protected.

I don't know who needs to know this more ( oncologist or patients or both ) But this is one of the best piece about cancer and diet misinformation in @TheLancetOncol.
Say NO to ketogenic diets , alkaline diets as treatment options.
Say NO to Quackery .
