Our #HIVEC® hyperthermic chemotherapy drug delivery treatment with MMC has shown promising results in more than 100,000 NMIBC cases, and is now being evaluated in the @HIVEC_HEAT phase 3 trial. It offers a bladder-sparing solution for patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC.

We're striving to improve outcomes for NMIBC patients, who account for 70-85% of bladder cancer cases. Our #HIVEC® treatment with mitomycin C has promising results in >100k cases & is now being trialled in the @HIVEC_HEAT phase 3 trial.

🩸 Blood in your urine is the most common symptom of bladder cancer.
It can appear once or come and go, but it should never be ignored. Early detection makes treatment far more effective.
Feeling unsure? Get checked.

Bladder cancer has historically been removed via transurethral resection (TURBT). New research presented at the 41st @Uroweb Congress shows that en bloc resection is a viable alternative to conventional TURBT for NMIBC.

Recurrent UTIs may be an under-recognised red flag for bladder cancer, especially in women. A new study found the strongest association within the first 6 months, especially in patients with ≥5 infections.

Bladder cancer is the 9th most common cancer worldwide, with 610k new cases & 200k deaths pa. Visible blood in urine is one of the most common symptoms. Early diagnosis improves outcomes, with up to 80% survival rate if detected early.

We’re calling on the Northern Ireland Executive to lower the bowel cancer screening age from 60 to 50. Yesterday we hosted an event at Stormont, bringing together MLAs, healthcare professionals, and people affected by bowel cancer.

ALT Bowel Cancer UK's Chief Executive Genevieve Edwards stood next to Eóin Tennyson MLA, Deputy Leader of the Alliance Party, outside of Stormont. They're both holding pledge cards calling for Northern Ireland to lower the screening age to 50.

A recently identified virus within a common gut bacterium may shed light on a medical puzzle: why Bacteroides fragilis – present in both healthy people and cancer patients – is associated with colorectal cancer.

👊Final analysis of HIPECT4 phase 3 clinical trial!
Mitomycin-C based #HIPEC delivered via Combat PRS reduced peritoneal recurrence in patients with locally advanced colon cancer without increasing toxicity.

Adding #HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) with mitomycin C via Combat PRS to cytoreductive surgery for locally advanced colorectal cancer significantly reduces the risk of locoregional recurrence.

Combat's PRS is helping transform the treatment of colorectal cancer. It's the only #HIPEC system with automatic CO2 agitation, ensuring homogenous drug & thermal distribution throughout the abdominal cavity and peritoneal surfaces for maximum effect.

Our PRS peritoneal recirculating treatment optimises #HIPEC delivery. It’s the only HIPEC system with automatic C02 agitation, ensuring homogenous drug & thermal distribution to enhance drug penetration.

A retrospective cohort study highlights better short-term perioperative & postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cancer, but no significant survival benefit compared to open surgery.

Some symptoms of ovarian cancer overlap with IBS, leading to misdiagnosis. Yet most people develop IBS in their 20s & 30s, and onset in women ≥50 years is uncommon. In those with new-onset IBS ≥50 years, ovarian cancer should be suspected.

The most common symptoms of ovarian cancer are:
🔴Persistent and severe bloating
🔴Feeling full quickly and/or loss of appetite
🔴Persistent pelvic or abdominal pain
🔴Needing to urinate more urgently/frequently

Glucocorticoid receptor activation regulates key processes in ovarian cancer progression by inducing tumour cell dormancy. Small clusters of dormant tumour cells could survive chemo and reactivate.
