CORMAC

Making anal cancer research relevant through a core outcome set to standardise outcomes. What is a core outcome set? video here:

[CORMAC @CORMACstudy]

CORMAC-2 launching soon! International collaboration to agree definitions for the disease activity and survival outcomes in the CORMAC core outcome set. Register your interest in taking part and get more info here https://t.co/WyuOiX04sa

If you’ve ever wondered what a core outcome set is, why they are needed and how they help, this short video is a great introduction.

One blue book: 3 years, 8,437 cups of tea and 10,874 cups of coffee, 3 great supervisors, 100s of brilliant trial participants, a handful of new friends for life, a very supportive husband and 90% of my cognitive capacity 24/7. #phdlife #done @lizzyelsey @wannabehawkeye

Time.
For training without service provision demands
For questions and explanations
For research
For repetition and consolidation
For our patients
For ourselves and our families
.
Time. Absolutely the most valuable resource for surgical training.

Not letting anything slide. Even when the system is working against you, when you’re tired, when you tried once already. Remembering the patient is having the biggest day of their life, so crossing Every T & dotting Every I, Every time.

[Samantha Sodergren @SCSodergren]

@LesleyLesleys This is something I often here from anal cancer patients I speak to. Our research specifically asking about these issues opens up conversations

@wannabehawkeye @lizzyelsey how’s it going? #phdlife #thesis

[Rebecca Fish @Beccajfish]

🤦🏻‍♀️ falsifying exam results to make sure more men qualified as doctors than women, because the women couldn’t be trusted not to quit to have babies. I don’t even know where to start... #ILookLikeASurgeon #feministisnotadirtyword #HeForShe #WomenInMedicine

HPV can cause cancer in both men and women. That’s why it’s good news that the Government is extending the vaccination programme to boys.

[CORMAC @CORMACstudy]

HPV vaccination for boys in the UK 🇬🇧 Excellent news. https://t.co/KPUo1iZl5r

[Peter Brennan @BrennanSurgeon]

At last government has seen sense with this. A small investment now will save billions in the treatment of these horrible HPV-related cancers in future. And more importantly, provide quality of life! https://t.co/LW5kdHG8fD

[CORMAC @CORMACstudy]

@ABumRap Sadly, this is one of the things studies have neglected to collect information on- systematic review showed only 36% anal cancer studies measures incontinence. https://t.co/pXISlTvtxE Hopefully, now that it’s included in the Core outcome more studies will measure this
