Many thanks to Ranjit Manchanda and to Vic White for organising the party.
Our paper ‘Consent model for tumour genetic testing in ovarian cancer’ shows strong support for reflex tumour genetic testing. Most patients, physicians, and charity representatives favoured testing without explicit consent, alongside an opt-out option. https://t.co/VCMQOkx5mW

Great to see our paper out on PPOSSUM score for predicting morbidity in Ovarian cancer cytoreductive surgery.
We show it is a poor predictor and should not be used.

Great to see our paper on Risk Reducing Early Salpingectomy out in JAMA Network Open.
We describe our study design for extension of PROTECTOR to address the issue of ovarian cancer risk reduction from RRES.
Our estimand and design differs from other ongoing clinical effectiveness studies/trials.
PROTECTOR aims to recruit another 1250 high risk women over the next 4 years.
Looking forward to work with all our collaborators and stake holders in the coming years.
