Exercise and cancer: lessons from NASA research | Dr. Jessica Scott https://t.co/eQNhTZRFJe via @YouTube How exercise science for astronauts can be applied to those receiving cancer treatment and how this reduces long-term cardiovascular side effects @SurvOncMASCC @TCDRadTher

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

Good to see survivorship and late effects listed as a pressure point. Studies clearly show cancer survivors have poorer long-term health that those without cancer and that post treatment support is a postcode lottery for access to specialist late-effects services. @PRDA_uk

A new Parliament sits today

If they want to think about a Cancer Plan - here's a starter for 10 @TheLancetOncol

This is a really interesting study as benefits of high intensity exercise and resistance training are shown to have benefit for women during therapy.However, the benefits declined over time and this highlights the need to continue physical activity longer-term @SurvOncMASCC

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

@MerryTea @m_worm You will be brilliant Mary! Great to work with you on MASCC, CIPN and I am sure your experience in cancer treatment will be so valuable in helping patients at Royal Berkshire Cancer Centre with their therapies.

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

Wonderful to meet up with amazing UK colleagues at MASCC Lille. Both are passionate about radiotherapy late-effects and improving care for people living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis ⁦@SurvOncMASCC⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@ESTRO_RT⁩

@LesleyLesleys Excellent e presentation showing how the late effects service improves people’s care after cancer treatment #MASCC24

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

An impressive research project and e presentation by Dr Emma Guinan about implementing a needs based cancer rehabilitation service in Ireland and how to target services. Implementation is so important ⁦@tcddublin⁩ #mascc2024

@Naman_Julka @rad__chat @royalmarsdenNHS @ICR_London @macmillancancer @RMPartnersNHS @radiotherapy_uk @SCoRMembers @Sha_bibie @SHURadiotherapy @HeidiProbst Congratulations! This is an important topic. The long term skin discolourations that people of colour can experience can be very distressing and are under reported.

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

@life_on_lars_21 @PRDA_uk Well done Lesley, PRD is such an important syndrome of troubling late effects raising awareness is a first step to better management!

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

Symptoms both physical and psychological continue long after cancer treatment has finished. This article highlights the need for support beyond treatment @CanceCareMASCC @TCDRadTher

[BMJ Oncology @BMJOncology]

Clinical trialists must recognise that improved survival alone is insufficient...cancer diagnosis and treatment are toxic to patients beyond the obvious consequences of side effects. https://t.co/i4HUqKY0PD

@gbtpo @claire_taylor22 @chris @endo_anaw @KingsNursing @StMarksHospital @greenfield_d Congratulations Jennifer!

@TCDRadTher @Forde_Elizabeth @lauremarignol @LeechmMichelle @TrinityMed1 @CancerInstIRE Congratulations!

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

Rehabilitation is such a game changer for people who have received cancer treatment. Not only in reducing side effects, extending survival, for some cancers, but improving quality of life. Great to see WHO package of interventions for malignant neoplasms @cancernurseEU @ESTRO_RT

[Nicolas Hart @DrNicolasHart]

Our @CancerCareMASCC endorsement of the @WHO Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation for Cancer - working together for global action to address unmet rehabilitation needs of people affected by cancer.

@alisonleary1 Congratulations Paul, the RCN fellowship is well deserved as you advocate to maintain the quality and professionalism of nursing

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

@DeborahWBruner1 Financial toxicity and its relationship to cancer outcomes is not unique to the US. Rural location and distance from radiotherapy centre, even in a public health system, impact treatment decision making because of the cost of travel and accommodation. @ESTRO_RT @SurvOncMASCC

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

Peripheral neuropathy from cancer or chemotherapy won’t kill you but it really impacts on quality of life. It gets worse as you age, impacts work and living!! We need more help and investment in research. @LesleyLesleys @WaldenstromsMac @CancerCareMASCC

The PRDA best practice guidelines provide useful information to support people living with pelvic radiation. We need to provide late effects clinics to improve QOL @LesleyLesleys #prda

[Sabina Khan @HeadandNeckSabs]

An emotive patient presentation during the last day @ESTRO_RT
The profound impact of late effects on QOL and the things we take for granted…what does the clinician reported data mean in reality? #prda

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

@LesleyLesleys I do wonder why nurses are rare at ESTRO not even a tick box for profession? CNS provides so much support for patients who have multi-modality therapy but do they really understand radiotherapy or late effects #estr24 @cancernurseEU

[Sara Faithfull @FaithfullProf]

The evidence is clear! PROMs provide a more accurate perspective of symptoms and toxicity #estro24

[Corinne Faivre-Finn @finn_corinne]

This study highlights the power of PROMs #ESTRO24
▶️Clinicians consistently underestimate treatment-related toxicity
▶️ Proud that @TheChristieNHS hosts one of the most extensive ePROM oncology programs within routine clinical practice
