Thank you @MVCCbrachy for inviting me to close such a fantastic day of debate and innovation in prostate brachytherapy. #ThisIsBrachytherapy #pb26 #InterventionalRadiotherapy #prostatecancer @MTWnhs @MTWRadiotherapy #KentOncologyCentre

[Mount Vernon Cancer Centre Brachytherapy @MVCCbrachy]

And for our last talk - Dr. Albert Edwards from Maidstone and Kent with a presentation on 'Theatrical Trials and Tribulations'

[Yung Gonzaga @YungGonzaga]

In my opinion, one of the best paragraphs ever written about medicine.

Another gem “Give Me The Night” produced by Quincy Jones w/ George Benson.

There are fascinating insights into the real cost of radiotherapy in the HERO report, published today. As an effective cure for many cancers, it is CHEAP! Huge thanks to contributors, especially @katiespencer72 and @Noemiedef1

@MarkGaze Congratulations Mark!

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Prostate cancer cases are expected to double from 1.4 million per year in 2020 to 2.9 million per year by 2040, new analysis suggests.

They call medicine an art, not just a science

If there was one thing I would say is the most important aspect of medical training it’s this; the Dunning-Kruger

And it’s this aspect which the depth, breadth and intensity of medical school & training prepares *doctors* for 🧵

Pleased that we are delivering BCON bladder radiotherapy at @MTWnhs #whereishoskin #radiotherapy

[BMJ Oncology @BMJOncology]

Why do some randomized controlled trials fail to influence routine radiotherapy practices? 🤔

Explore the disconnect between research findings and clinical adoption, as highlighted in Peter Hoskin's editorial https://t.co/j7BbAnDm0g

I’m an oncologist and I love my job. But I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing our patients with cancer and I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing its workforce. https://t.co/Liv26cn8Or #ConsultantsStrike

[Jeff Ryckman @jryckman3]

This three-pager is a must-read by every oncologist. Chris Booth is one of my heroes #timetoxicity

“Thus, intensive treatments associated with more time toxicity are not incorrect choices themselves, and decisions for patients should be individualized. The most important first step is for trials to report time spent in pursuing therapy so clinicians can have meaningful discussions with patients.”

#STAMPEDE stops recruiting today after 18 years!

The trial's pioneering #MAMS design helped drive big improvements in #ProstateCancer survival that may have taken generations in a traditional trial.

The UK Government Actuary confirms life expectancy at retirement for Britons is now two years lower than when Ministers last reviewed the state pension age in 2017.

@RTherapy4Life @grahamemorris @APPGRT Thank you for highlighting the need to increase our radiotherapy capacity. We also need to recruit, train, pay and retain staff to deliver radiation-based therapies
