@VirginWines I'm waiting on an order which was placed 8th sept and went "missing" in transit. Still waiting on the replacement and customer service response hasn't been particularly helpful in tracking it down. Really disappointed with service on this occasion.

Survival and safety after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or upfront surgery for locally advanced colon cancer: meta-analysis
➡️ https://t.co/JN4Ga415Jg

This systematic review and meta-analysis of seven studies involving 2120 patients with locally advanced colon cancer found that neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with a reduced hazard of recurrence and death, as well as improved 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates, compared with upfront surgery. No significant differences in perioperative complications or mortality were found, but neoadjuvant chemotherapy decreased the risk of incomplete resection.
In conclusion, neoadjuvant chemotherapy appears to offer oncological benefits in the treatment of locally advanced colon cancer.

@Blacksmith78 @NHSGGC @h_s_nair @qeuh_surgery @grisurgery Well done to all!

[James Park @DocJimmyP83]

@wannabehawkeye @lastdinnerparty @Alkaline_Trio Shake with me is a cracking track!

[James Park @DocJimmyP83]

@mcnaughtonjenna Surely that means the original question wasn't particularly good/clear?

[James Park @DocJimmyP83]

@LouiseAllard18 If you think working 80+ or 120+ hours routinely is a good thing for patient care, it's probably just as well you're retired.

@marcclancy1 It sounds like a scene from Green Wing or Scrubs...

@SyedAAhmad5 @SurgJournal @AnnSurgOncol @SAGES_Updates @SSATNews @juliomayol @TomVargheseJr Somewhere I want to avoid as a colorectal surgeon, but secretly quite enjoy?

[James Park @DocJimmyP83]

@mcnaughtonjenna Having a later deadline for discharge prescription requests throughout the week and weekend would make a difference.

[James Park @DocJimmyP83]

@ClearThinker66 @DrEilidhMaria @timricketts_ It is a distal obstruction so anticipate patients would present earlier before that point, but still possible.

Was more emphasising the value of pr in patient with ?obstruction, rather than associating it with faecal vomiting.

[James Park @DocJimmyP83]

@jim_crawfurd @DrEilidhMaria @timricketts_ Very much so. In both emergency and outpatient clinic setting

@macsurg We had the full spectrum of weather when we were there - and the added drama of a potential volcanic eruption stopping us getting home...

@AnkurMuk Congratulations Ankur - very well done!
