Prostate test could 'save lives and embarrassment'

Did a difficult consultation couple of days ago. 20yr old lad with new diagnosis bladder cancer 😔 Cancer spares no one! Please please get yourself tested. Early diagnosis = better outcomes. Can’t say this enough #bloodinthepee #bladdercancer #Cansky #Oncsky

Together with the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research), the EPSRC, Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) and ADR UK (Administrative Data Research UK), we’re announcing a £10m programme which will help identify individual cancer risk 🙌 Read more 👉 cruk.ink/42q0aaY

Did a difficult consult with my patient y’day. New diagnosis prostate Ca. He was really struggling to make up his mind about his options. Didn’t worry about keeping to time, took us an hour but in the end he made an informed satisfied choice. Importance of never rushing patients #Cansky #Oncsky

Cancers getting diagnosed at earlier stage www.bbc.com/news/article... Early diagnosis = improved outcomes. Get yourselves checked. Make it a New Year resolution to not sit on symptoms but to have them looked at #cancerscreening #Cansky #Oncsky

‘It’s good to talk’. #Cancer & dying is a tough topic. Not your party type of conversation BUT it is good to talk about it. Why don’t you add ‘death talk’ to your list of New Year resolutions, this year? Even if you are a #CancerMuggle 😁 What do you think?? @thankscancer #cansky #onsky

The NHS winter crisis is not just about overflowing hospital corridors and delayed treatments – it’s about the toll it takes on the very people who hold the system together www.bigissue.com/opinion/nhs-...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... “It was the nudge that all men need” Gentle Boxing Day reminder to all men over 40 out there, get checked & get tested…reminder to their better halves, nudge them! Early diagnosis = better outcomes #prostatecancer #PSAtesting #Cansky #Oncsky

Precision med includes imaging to individualize care. Of 593 biopsy-naive men, 48% had (-) prostate MRIs and were followed. After 3 yrs of monitoring, clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 4% of men with negative MRIs. Avoiding biopsies can be considered if MRI is (-)

There’s no “right way” to deal with cancer. #cansky

Screening catches early signs of cancer in people without symptoms and saves lives by finding cancer at an earlier stage, or preventing it. New data analysis we've published shows around 89,800 cases have been detected by the three screening programmes in England 👇 cruk.ink/4iHlcHD

www.bbc.com/sport/formul... Another celebrity telling us to get tested, can’t say enough, early diagnosis = better prognosis! Get tested! There is nothing that we haven’t seen as doctors, don’t be shy, don’t be afraid #prostatecancer #PSAtesting #bloodinthepee #bladdercancer #Cansky #Oncsky

CLEAR study biomarker analysis: Lenvatinib + Pembrolizumab improved ORR/PFS vs. sunitinib in aRCC, consistent across PD-L1, 🧬gene expression, mutations, subtypes. @drchoueiri.bsky.social @oncoalert.bsky.social @kidney-cancer.bsky.social

This study shows men with negative mpMRI can safely avoid biopsy, reducing unnecessary procedures without increasing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) risk. #ProstateCancer #Oncology @oncoalert.bsky.social @apccc.bsky.social @oncbrothers.bsky.social @jama.com

🌍 Prostate cancer disparities revealed! PC incidence varies 13-fold globally; mortality 9.5-fold. Rising rates in Africa, Asia, and Latin America highlight the urgent need for better access to care. #ProstateCancer #GlobalHealth @oncoalert.bsky.social @oncbrothers.bsky.social @apccc.bsky.social

Operated on 2 young patients yesterday, one with large right kidney cancer, the other with aggressive prostate cancer. Can’t stress enough the importance of getting tested to catch cancer early! Early diagnosis = better outcomes #PSAtesting #prostatecancer #kidneycancer #Cansky #Oncsky

#Kindness is not an act. It's a reflection of your soul.

#Cansky remember this. Cancer is a life changing diagnosis. No matter the stage, grade, type, etc. When you hear “cancer” it changes your perspective forever. You owe it to no one to react in a certain way. #Oncsky #Medsky

Obesity is a risk factor for kidney cancer. But it doesn’t stop us from treating it. Waiting for weight loss prior to surgery is not often an option. This is where robotic surgery comes into its own #kidneycancer #Cansky #Oncsky #roboticsurgery youtu.be/spqbrB1TSEA?...
