The Medical Research Future Fund has grown far beyond its target. Why is so much of the money unused? https://t.co/J8ladcONiB via @ConversationEDU

[Centre for Health Services Research in Cancer @PeterMacHSR]

This is a positive step towards equity. However, like all recommendations it comes down the the effectiveness of implementation and the fact that the true cost of research is never covered by our funding models. Will be interesting to see how big pharma adopt these. @PeterMacRes

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

For the first time, WHO offers recommendations for national health authorities, regulators, and funders to improve clinical trials.

The guidance addresses issues like poor trial design, lack of diversity and inclusion of at-risk populations, infrastructure gaps, and inefficiencies that delay progress.

Today is World Sepsis Day. Early recognition saves lives.

[Bel Lambros @bel_lambros]

Today, September 13th marks World Sepsis Day where we shine a light on early recognition to save lives of our patients with cancer- Know the risks, spot the signs, Think Sepsis Act Fast. @NCICancer @sepsisAU @CNSA_ORG @PeterMacCC

@CraigUnderhill @bordermail We are very fortunate to have the opportunity for you to work with us on many important research initiatives. Your voice and advocacy for equity in cancer is incredibly important.

[Medthority @Medthority]

Watch this patient case study video, from the MS Medical Grand Rounds meeting in Melbourne, Australia, in which Professor Anneke van der Walt considers how patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can be used in clinical practice.

[Dr Julia Lai-Kwon @JuliaLaiKwon]

Thank you to the @VCCCAlliance Picchi Foundation for this award!
Grateful to @WCMICS for supporting this work, my amazing team @M_Jefford @drstephbest @claudia_ruthers Kas Thursky @PeterMacHSR, and all our study participants!

Great study. This approach should underpin any implementation - you need to know barriers and facilitators from a funding, guideline, institutional, and clinician level. Systems thinking is one methodology. Of course local factors including culture will differ between orgs.

[Professor Ray Chan @rayychan]

🥳🥳High need to adopt systems-thinking into all #supponc practices!

Never lack evidence for exercise & diets in #survonc, but we need to pull the RIGHT LEVERS to make it happen!

Half of all non relapse mortality deaths in CAR-T are due to infection - optimising a collaborative model of care, sepsis pathways and prophylaxis strategies are all important.

[Eddie Cliff @Eddie_Cliff]

Just out @NatureMedicine meta-analysis >7600 CAR T pts led by @DavidCdSMD & @KRejeski

- Non-relapse mortality post CAR-T = 6.8%
- highest w ciltacel (15%) & brexucel (10.6%)
- axicel (7%) > tisa-/lisocel (4%) for LBCL
- 51% of NRM deaths from infection

Improvement toolkits & good practice databases are useful but they only take us so far. As much as 80% of the knowledge in an organisation isn't written down. It's not a failure of documentation. it's to do with the nature of the knowledge and the way it gets spread. That's why it is critical that we make time & space for networks, communities of learning/practice, huddles & sharing conversations if we want change & improvement to happen: https://t.co/10ikbAwVBe. Thanks @nickknoco

Don’t forget PETs role in other diseases like infections/granulomatous diseases/vasculitis.

[UT MD Anderson @UTMDAnderson]

Dr. Seth Gammon says he hopes PET scans and SUV numbers can be used to further personalize cancer care.

Opening plenary at #MASCC24 is addressing immunotherapy toxicities. A key takeaway is that there is no consensus definition of a cancer survivor treated with immunotherapies. #irAEs

What an incredible group of nurses - you are the future of new models of cancer care delivery.

[Peter Mac Cancer Centre @PeterMacCC]

Great to see so many Peter Mac nurses at the @CNSA_ORG annual congress in Brisbane this week. Thank you for sharing Peter Mac's nurse-led research and innovation with cancer nurses from all over Australia!
