Urological follow-up of #LynchSyndrome : #UTUC incidence and mutational patterns in a dedicated outpatient clinic. Presentation by Francesco Cattafi Ospedale San Raffaele. #AUA24 written coverage by Julian Chavarriaga University of Toronto > bit.ly/4a6LAoL Amer. Urol. Assn.

Stories like this do little to encourage #DrRetention or to encourage Irish trained doctors to return from abroad to continue their careers in the Irish health system. irishtimes.com/health/2024/05…

Genetic counselling, cancer surveillance and treatment in #LynchSyndrome should be tailored to each patient’s age, gender and variant.

Totally unacceptable in any other occupation and not a mention of toxic bunker gear. By addressing this, we could be preventing many young adults entering into the Health Service with a cancer diagnosis... Prevention in all its forms!

Well done Aideen 🎉👏👏👏

This is a giant step towards “normalizing” the use and acceptance of ctDNA. It increases the importance of understanding how/when it should be used and limitations of sensitivity/specificity.

🎉 New publication! D.J. Hughes & M. Jenab's latest study explores genetic links between gut barrier dysfunction, inflammation & #ColorectalCancer . Read the full paper for more insights into CRC risks in European populations: doi.org/10.1093/mutage… #GutHealth #GeneticsResearch

Excellent paper if you have time to read. Lifestyle risk factors not as significant as often touted, especially for women!
Dr. Sudipto Das Dr Flavia Genua Patient Voice in Cancer thoughts on the application of this information to patient level? Insulin control, inflammation, gut barrier

7km done, 3km to go! This #WOCD2024 keep an eye out for events organised by The Irish Network of Gynaecological Oncology (INGO). INGO is a voluntary network of over 30 of Ireland’s foremost gynaecological cancer campaigners, researchers, clinicians and patient advocates!

Behind on my media campaign and with friends this time…nearly done at 9km! 🏊‍♀️ To support World Ovarian Cancer Day on 8 May #WOCD2024 please sign the petition on World Ovarian Cancer Day & WOCCoalition calling to recognise ovarian cancer as a global priority.

Roberta Horgan 🇮🇪 lynch syndrome irl Absolutely agree. A lovely man who has been through the mill and back and still positive and raising awareness. An absolute gentleman 👏🏻

Read the thread. Listen to the story: open.spotify.com/episode/0sThKg…

Can't get this poor man out of my head. Just look at him, he's completely devastated 💔 Department of Justice 🇮🇪 how can you deny his wife & child a visa? He's here working hard for years providing vital healthcare for the country. Do the right thing 🙏
#FastTrackFamilyVisa #HCWs

Best of luck Aideen ☘️ An amazing effort!

Heartbreaking but critically important message from my former UL classmate. Patricia is advocating for a lowering of the screening age for #colorectal #cancer from 59 to 50 in line with EU best practice. Please share your local political reps and help save lives.

lynch syndrome irl John Conneely RCSI Agree 100%. John Conneely performed my liver resection in Jan '23, whole multi-disciplinary team involved. Glad that my oncology team in Beaumont maintain excellent communication with HPB colleagues in Mater, otherwise I may not have had the opportunity to have the surgery.

Does Lynch syndrome itself have any symptoms?  lynchsyndromeireland.com/2024/05/06/doe…

Historically, Lynch syndrome has been considered a rare genetic condition. But today, there are around 1 million carriers of Lynch syndrome in the U.S. alone, says our Dr. Eduardo Vilar-Sanchez.

Hector Conti Laura Valle Kevin Monahan Sir John Burn This paper from the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database (PLSD) describes the cumulative lifetime incidences compared to estimated general population incidences gut.bmj.com/content/67/7/1…
So those cancers that present with increased incidence may be considered #lynchsyndrome associated.
