Please join us virtually for our immunotherapy toxicity #IOTOX multidisciplinary #MDT team roundtable on #GI and #liver toxicities on 30 July 2025 Welcoming any healthcare professionals who are interested in the management of these adverse events! Register now! #oncology #oncogastroenterology

Great to meet Dr Min-Han Tan #Lucence at the oncology academic meeting #CUHKMedicine and to hear his insights on liquid biopsy in cancer care

A 3-year structured exercise programme after adjuvant chemo for colon cancer lead to: - significantly longer disease-free survival (DFS) (HR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.94; P=0.02) - better 5-year DFS (80.3% vs 73.9%) - better OS at 8 years (90.3% vs 83.2%) www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Happy to meet my mentor and coach of the @ascocancer.bsky.social LDP Asia Pacific today at National Cancer Centre Singapore !

Great to run into the boss, Prof Ravindran Kanesvaran this morning at National Cancer Centre Singapore !

Today, the 28th February is Rare Disease Day *facts*: 🧬 Around 80% of rare diseases are of genetic origin 👶🏻 70% of rare diseases start in childhood 🔎 More than 7,000 rare diseases identified 🎗️ 1 out of 5 cancers are rare 🔗 WHO: bit.ly/41aTCKY  #WHOFides

What started as a grassroots initiative by a WHO staff member has grown into a global movement for health. Learn more about the #1Dollar1World campaign and get involved. People have the power 👏 🔗 bit.ly/3QyEuC3
