Shocking article today in relation to Cancer treatment waiting times in the NHS, with wait times varying depending in the type of diagnosis suggesting a four-week delay to surgery increases the risk of dying by 6-8% for many cancers. "...in England alone, more than 300,000 cancer patients will miss the target over the next five years unless performance improves, according to Cancer Research UK modelling, which predicts an above 20% rise in referrals" You can read the full article by following the link in the comments Our team are here to help you with alternative support.

Surgery improves long-term survival for resectable, liver-only metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). With no consensus definition of “resectable” disease, decisions regarding resectability are reliant on the expertise and judgement of the treating clinician working in consultation with a multidisciplinary team (MDT). Our study examined the clinical outcome versus initial assessment of resectability in an Australian population with mCRC.

Brilliant to have OS benefits in KN-522. Clearly, neoadjuvant IO has revamped our approach in triple negative breast cancer - 34% reduction in mortality is extremely impressive. But with 35% toxicity rates in the IO arm - with potential delays in surgery + long-term toxicities in survivors- and high financial barriers to access, we must rationalise which patients actually need it. Identifying those patients most likely to benefit & those most likely to achieve a pCR would streamline our clinical practice significantly. Look forward to biomarker-adapted data, building on the early data from I-SPY2 etc. Exciting times for TNBC.

Exploring Surgical Solutions for Fluid Buildup Treating fluid buildup in the abdomen in abdominal cancer, known as malignant ascites, depends on the stage of the cancer. For curative situations like stage 3 ovarian cancer, surgery is often a crucial part of the treatment. Cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC are commonly performed to address this condition. In non-curative cases, palliative chemotherapy is administered along with regular drainage of accumulated fluid guided by sonography. If this approach proves ineffective, options such as catheter placement or shunt procedures may be considered. #AbdominalCancer #OvarianCancer #HIPEC #Chemotherapy #FluidDrainage #CancerTreatment

The fifth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, ovarian cancer is primarily diagnosed in postmenopausal women and currently there are no effective preventative screening tools. Once a diagnosis is made, surgery and chemotherapy are typically both needed for successful treatment. However, several advances in the treatment of ovarian cancer use precision genomics, which guides individualized treatment for patients. In this Simon Says session, gynecologic oncologists Lisa Landrum, MD, PhD, and Sharon Robertson, MD, MPH, will discuss risk factors for ovarian cancer as well as risk reduction strategies and recent advances in its treatment. https://lnkd.in/e6DvEPgC
