LungART trial finally out at #ESMO20. Postop #radiotherapy with no significant benefit. Mediastinal recurrence of 46% without PORT was what would be expected & PORT decreased it but (I must say surprisingly) did not translate into DFS or OS benefit Percy Lee MD Kristin Higgins #lcsm

Know someone putting off routine cancer screening? Now's the time to remind them to put it at the top of their to-do list #CancerScreeningSavesLives According to data released by Australian Institute of Health and Welfare there were 145,000 fewer mammograms in 1st half of 2020 compared to 2018. Let's change this!

Beautiful writing on burnout on oncology. Why feeling 'chronically overwhelmed' can set off a downward spiral of self-criticism, negative self-talk & losing hope. And how we all have a 'resilience threshold'. Thank you @MarkRobsonMD 🙏

Breaking a decade of silence. As the ONLY trainee to win in criminal court against a senior doctor, I’ve seen the system betray victims. Abusers hide behind status quo, we must demand change 🙏🏻 C Begeny + team James Gallagher BBC News (UK) #MeTooMedicine www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc.co…

Breaking the silence is excruciating but it is the only way to protect and support others. If you or someone you care about has faced a similar experience, I hope you find validation, strength and your own voice in my story. @MelissaLDavey Gabrielle Jackson theguardian.com/australia-news…
