@nicolobattisti @Ng_Cass Ray Gardner and I are looking forward to speaking to you all #cancer #olderadults @SIOGorg @OncologyForum @MedicineUoN @UniofNottingham
Over two-thirds of global cancer deaths occur in patients over 70, yet there's still a lack of integrated care for older adults. Join @SIOGorg at #LGCW2024 to discuss improving cancer care for this vulnerable group: Nov 11, 2-5pm GMT. Save the date > bit.ly/3Zlu9z2

Thank you @GMCancerAcademy for supporting our first Oncogeriatric webinar! And to all the speakers @Jeni_woods_OT @naomih1983 and Jo Taylor for fascinating and informative talks. Look out for the 2nd webinar on the 7th of March 2024 involving the wider MDT!
A brilliant run through treatments for older patients with breast cancer by MacMillan CMO @BreastDocUK Many points relevant to us geriatricians...topical vaginal oestrogen is safe. The SE's of endocrine therapy. When we might need to consider a switch... #BGS
What a great day - inspired by talks from colleagues passionate about #GeriOnc! Thank you to all speakers, to @GeriSoc team for organising such a successful #BGSconf, and to @SIOGorg and @RCRadiologists Watch this space for more to come for Oncogeriatrics in the UK!
And no increase in breast cancer in women taking vaginal oestrogen, says @BreastDocUK — don’t worry about vaginal oestrogen in women with previous breast cancer, just get on and treat them #gerionc #BGSconf
The stakes are much higher now, says Ng, in patients with lung cancer, with a move away from palliative treatments towards cure thanks to earlier diagnosis and a wider array of treatments. More nuanced decision making in older frailer patients needed #BGSconf #gerionc
Prehab can have a positive impact on frailty. However, many patients will only do exercise if their doctors tell them to! @ZoeMerchantOT
The Oncogeriatric SIG (missing Hannah). Excited for the Oncogeriatric Stream today @ #BGSconf . In collaboration with @SIOGorg & @RCRadiologists Come join us! @DrSallyMartin @antheasaif @Ng_Cass
En route to Birmingham for #BGSconf - looking forward to all the talks and seeing other colleagues in person including @colki1983 @antheasaif @DrSallyMartin @MedleyGough
#Geriatricians are often called 'nice' We need slightly sharper elbows as a speciality to influence decision makers and improve health and care for older people" says BGS President Elect @JKDhesi
