Good to see survivorship and late effects listed as a pressure point. Studies clearly show cancer survivors have poorer long-term health that those without cancer and that post treatment support is a postcode lottery for access to specialist late-effects services. @PRDA_uk

This is a really interesting study as benefits of high intensity exercise and resistance training are shown to have benefit for women during therapy.However, the benefits declined over time and this highlights the need to continue physical activity longer-term @SurvOncMASCC

Symptoms both physical and psychological continue long after cancer treatment has finished. This article highlights the need for support beyond treatment @CanceCareMASCC @TCDRadTher

Clinical trialists must recognise that improved survival alone is insufficient...cancer diagnosis and treatment are toxic to patients beyond the obvious consequences of side effects. bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/…

Rehabilitation is such a game changer for people who have received cancer treatment. Not only in reducing side effects, extending survival, for some cancers, but improving quality of life. Great to see WHO package of interventions for malignant neoplasms @cancernurseEU @ESTRO_RT

Peripheral neuropathy from cancer or chemotherapy won’t kill you but it really impacts on quality of life. It gets worse as you age, impacts work and living!! We need more help and investment in research. @LesleyLesleys @WaldenstromsMac @CancerCareMASCC

The PRDA best practice guidelines provide useful information to support people living with pelvic radiation. We need to provide late effects clinics to improve QOL @LesleyLesleys #prda

The evidence is clear! PROMs provide a more accurate perspective of symptoms and toxicity #estro24

Researchers have identified that a poor skin microbiome before radiotherapy is associated with severity of skin reactions. We are at the beginning of learning more how a healthy microbiome impacts side effects . Hülpüsch C, et al. JAMA Oncol 2023.6533 @ESTRO_RT @CancerCareMASCC
