Is the hardest life experience trying to fix your elderly parents' IT issues from 200 miles away over the phone...?

Life-saving new jab against world's deadliest cancer could 'cure' half of all patients and one - goo.gl/alerts/Ga9uJK #GoogleAlerts

We should make people pay these costs if they can't take up the post. Don't stand, if you aren't prepared to take on the job. In fact, maybe we shouldn't let them resign.

Yesterday at #UKOF25 there was a mention that opening an early access scheme took 6 months on the NHS and 3 days in a private hospital, funded by the NHS. This seems bonkers. If you are an NHS manager funding a private hospital to do stuff, maybe check if you are funding your NHS hosp too?

Interesting final session about the use of liver transplant in Colorectal cancer. Living donor transplant seems to be the best option. Need to stick to > 2yrs without progression (and >30% response) #ukof25

New ESMO rectal pathway in Pre-print. #ukof25

Trying to make sense of genomic reports this slide might help? Did the cat ate the rat or did the bat ate the rat? Or did nothing make sense? #ukof25

Pro-inflamatory diet also showing benefits *in addition* to exercise in Colorectal cancer for preventing recurrences. The discussion is how we implement this. It won't come with a NICE approval. Needs Level 3 personal training. Teachable moment in year after diagnosis. #UKOF25

Dynamic-III guided ctDNA Looks like ctDNA useful to predict recurrence (possible surrogate endpoint), but not yet found a role in predicting treatment escalation/de-escalation in Colorectal ca #UKOF25

This is the first I've seen the Nivo only arm from H8W. From a quick glance, Nivo looks very similar to Pembro as we would have expected. #UKOF25

Fantastic opening plenary at #UKOF25 by @charlesswanton.bsky.social Cancer initiation is not a simple matter of DNA damage from carcinogens. Forget everything you learned before!

Understating the influence of exercise in preventing recurrences/improving survival for Colorectal cancer. #UKOF25 7% OS gain at 8y Vs 5% Oxaliplatin...

#UKOncologyForum Frequitinib trying hard to find a 3L position. But I'm struggling to justify it's use 3L when evidence is better than placebo yet we have Lonsurf-Beva as SoC now. It's the problem of trials working in isolation

National Blood Service needs blood. So as every time this happens, I go on to see if they want my blood.. They will take it on 18th September! Seriously, if you need my blood, come get it. Make it easy for me!

Oh, I didn't realise that the problem was the non-life threatening minors.. @wesstreeting-mp.bsky.social is ranking up there with the most useless health secreaties we've ever had (and that's quite an achievement!) The corridor care is because the poorly patients who need a bed can't get a bed...
