@ciarakellydoc @IvanYatesNT Important debate yesterday. Here is the key @IrishCancerReg graph on new cervical cancer cases. What does it mean? Screening, since 2008-9, results in fewer cancers, fewer women requiring surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and associated side effects.

Some important, very positive news here on improved survival rates for some common cancers. Also a clear message for men's health.

NEW: Up to 8,000 women with breast implants will be warned about evolving evidence regarding cancer risk https://t.co/5vePdNvqaI via @sundaybusiness

@paulpharoah @WaterfordMafia @sorahill Interesting view. Equally applicable to the registry data from the other 5 countries? Population screening in Ireland for CRC commenced in 2014. No screening here for the other tumour types in the ICBP SURVMARK-2 paper. Personal bias, I work for both @hseNCCP & @IrishCancerReg

[Dr. Jerome Coffey @DirectorNCCP]

Important paper showing major improvements in survival rates. Due to strategic investment in specialist staff & services, as well as research-driven advances in diagnostic and treatment options. More required. (Credit to co-author Paul Walsh @IrishCancerReg)

[Chris Wild @Chris_P_Wild]

Important @IARCWHO led study comparing cancer survival across some high income countries. Open and transparent comparison of cancer data internationally can benefit patients everywhere. @myESMO @ASCO @CancerAustralia @PHE_uk https://t.co/nAhdEejtR6

Looking forward also to working with such a dedicated team of clinicians and researchers across Ireland! Together we can improve outcomes for our patients by providing access to clinical trials #breastcancer #clinicaltrials @UCC @hopkinskimmel
