Godt at opfølgningen efter kræft kommer til at have patienten i centrum og ikke blot være et kalenderstyret standardforløb!
Godt arbejde ⁦@ThereseJuul⁩ 👍🏻
Meget af den kontrol vi laver stammer fra en tid, hvor patienterne havde dårligere prognose. https://t.co/51QN4h0aPV

BLODPRØVE KAN HJÆLPE MED PRIORITERING AF KRÆFTBEHANDLING

Kræft-DNA i blodet hos patienter med de meste aggressive kræftformer stiger meget hurtigt.
Blodprøver kan være et redskab til prioritering af operationskapacitet på kræftområdet.

Withdrew treatment today from two patients to ensure a dignified death: one 20 y old, one 98 y old. A surgeon must know when to operate, but even more important when NOT to operate. #womeninsurgery
