Prehab.....we run a trial looking potential benefits of exercise for patients with colorectal cancer. Feedback from patients include,
'I've never felt fitter'
' So nice to have something to focus on whilst waiting for surgery'

Reflecting on the lung @prehab4cancer sub-group meeting today. Single point of referral, 17 assessment clinics & 87 facilities providing prehab across GM & cancer types. Over 300 #lungcancer patients referred, 80% uptake. Truly transformative work @ZoeMerchantOT @mysurgeryandme

[NHSHcancertrials @NHSHctrials]

It is official, we have recruited the UKs 1st patient on a new trial using #Immunotherapy in patients with high risk bladder cancer. It's taken a combined effort from many people working @NHSHighland to enable us to offer this trial to a rural patient

The number of people diagnosed with #bowelcancer under 50 is rising. We want to hear from as many younger people as possible to ensure we’re capturing a broad range of experiences. You have until Sunday to share your views in our #Never2Young survey https://t.co/uU2nQIaAn6

[Bowel Cancer UK @bowelcanceruk]

“Being open about our bowel habits really is key when it comes to early diagnosis of this awful disease. Talking about poo is what saved my life!" It’s so important to speak with friends and family about #bowelcancer and its symptoms. Read Sarah’s story: https://t.co/SYHEfMvfqV

#WorldRadiographyDay

[Cancer Research UK in Scotland @CRUKScotland]

It’s #worldradiographyday. Radiographers are vital to the diagnosis of cancer - they are the doctors who interpret scans like x-rays, CT and MRI. However, a lack of national workforce planning in the NHS in Scotland has led to a shortage in radiographers. (1/3)
