JUST IN from #ESMO22: [abstract 9030] GRAIL blood test for cancer in 6621 healthy people detected a cancer signal in 92 people (1.4%) – but only 38% of these were confirmed to have cancer on further testing (Pathfinder results) FULL STORY ON MEDSCAPE SOON.

Would be great to chat. We are scoping potential new cancer pathways into UCR in C&M as part of joint The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance

Congratulations to the study group on performing such a challenging RCT. High dose dex has evolved into many AOS algorithms, despite limited evidence and rising toxicity concern. Those developing Immunotherapy toxicity guidelines should take note

The majority of acute cancer care sits in Gen Med so we need novel partnerships to deliver Cancer #VirtualWards. Multiprofessional care UK Acute Oncology Society

Pete, we are also looking at cancer hotline streaming into medical SDEC and UCR at regional level in Merseyside. It would be good to touch base and share some learning

When cancer teams take ownership in ED, powerful things happen. Patient experience, confidence, SDEC opportunity and coordinated specialist care from the outset. This is just the start UK Acute Oncology Society. Time to move to the front door

This scenario is all about availability and awareness of cancer Advice & Guidance '. This should be 24/7 and connect liquid and solid cancer. We have across 4 nationas it but it is patchy. UK Acute Oncology Society will be pushing for a review of cancer hotlines

Realised I need to retrain as a nurse. Such passion and energy from my colleagues. Overwhelmed. The future is cancer nursing! UK Acute Oncology Society

Delighted to confirm we have launched our first The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre cancer hotline stream into 2hr UCR Mersey Care NHS FT 🏳️‍🌈 with our Knowsley colleagues .

Bringing UK Acute Oncology Society strategy to life! Great stuff. Supporting improved pathways for suspected urgent cancer care.

Depending on local pathways, less than 1o% of suspected met Ca have CUP. In addition treatment options for those with CUP is determined by ECOG PS. Don't confuse MUO and CUPS. AOS always there to help guide decisions UK Acute Oncology Society

David, completely agree. Genomics may help a few but all patients would benefit from clearly defined diagnostic MUO urgent pathways. For most this may be NS RDS with AO support

I suspect RITA might be a useful part of the cancer triage helplines, ensuring we focus workforce expertise on the most complex. Interested to hear more

Partnership working between AOS, NS RDS and urgent care is one way to improve experience (and outcomes? ) for suspected cancer patients presenting via emergency care. Moving modern AOS to the front door UK Acute Oncology Society

Thank you to #SAMManchester for supporting Acute Oncology at the Cancer on AMU session today. UK Acute Oncology Society

Great initiative and open to AOS. A platform to develop local cancer SDEC QI with the experts. UK Acute Oncology Society all welcome to apply!

An important step for cancer ambulatory ambition. Expertise and joined up care delivered by pragmatists. Time to test out all I-O toxicity pathways UK Acute Oncology Society

Pleased to announce that UK Acute Oncology Society will be leading another AO session at #UKOF23. Have your say and help us shape the programme!

Already thinking AO, contingency planning and transitions

Cancer hotlines: fundamental for acute cancer care. Time for modernisation and integration. UK Acute Oncology Society working with partners to deliver a much needed UK wide review. Watch this space !
