Now in our August issue: The impact of the #COVID19 pandemic on #cancer #deaths due to #delays in #diagnosis in England, UK: a national, population-based, modelling study by Camille Maringe and colleagues thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

Around 2.4 million people in the UK are waiting for #cancer screenings, tests or treatment. Macmillan Cancer Support say urgent GP referrals have fallen by 76% and are calling for action. Beth Purvis from #Elsenham had her operation cancelled and now her cancer is deemed as “incurable”.

We’re working non-stop to bring this #PancreaticCancer emergency to the attention of NHS decision makers. It's not too late to sign our #NoTimeToWait campaign and help us make them take action: notimetowait.pancreaticcancer.org.uk

New paper in Archives of Toxicology indicates that our multiple endpoint in vitro carcinogenicity test successfully distinguishes carcinogens from non-carcinogens: rdcu.be/b63pb IVTG Swansea @Garethj51282589 Shareen Fernquest George Johnson fiona chapman Ume-Kulsoom Shah jatin verma

This approach, funded by an The National Centre for the 3Rs strategic award, could be a valuable tool for identifying non-carcinogens at the in vitro stage, avoiding unnecessary animal testing. Find out more about the project and its outputs at bit.ly/3hEOtlL

The great majority of adults have been vaccinated. Four weeks working on a COVID ward makes stark the reality that the majority of our hospitalised COVID patients are unvaccinated and regret delaying. Some are very sick including young adults. Please don't delay your vaccine.
