A new trial to improve treatment for severe lupus is being led by @uclh colleagues.

Using CAR-T therapy to modify the immune system to target unhealthy cells, the trial could reduce, or even remove, the need for lifelong medication for severe lupus. https://t.co/SxuUbeCpo9

Strava gives a nice example of why ‘I can still do a round of golf’ is a good marker of fitness. 4.5hrs on one’s feet over 10k distance is no mean feat!

An incredible story. 👇

Beth faced a diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma complicated by encephalopathy causing her to be unconscious for the first few months of pregnancy.

Last week, Beth visited our @UHS_lymphoma service with the lovely Isabella. 💕🌟

I’m extremely excited to be running the London Marathon next year for a charity close to my heart - Lymphoma Action. I would be grateful if you could spare 5 minutes to clink on this link and read more about the amazing charity and why it’s important to me

@graham74GC This is such a good study.

[Graham Collins @graham74GC]

This is such a powerful regimen. 94% 4y PFS is incredible. In places thay use escBEACOPP (& which fund it) this will be the new standard. The question is how far it will extend into ABVD / AVD-N using areas.

US colleagues - will you use it do you think?

[Rob Lown @robertlown]

Just love it. In the immortal words of Shaggy - it wasn’t me!
