@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

"Think about how you introduce #frailty screening in your cancer practice, because frailty is everyone’s business." Read this excellent @macmillancancer blog via @AshlingLillis with a link to our FREE Frailty eLearning. macmillan.org.uk/healthcare-pro…


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!

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
