Excellent day at the RCSI with patients, caregivers, researchers and charities discussing the landscape of bowel cancer in Ireland - both moving and motivating to drive progress. @RCSI_Irl

Delighted to share results on exploring the experiences of early-onset colorectal cancer patients. Key findings: - there is a lack of recognition for EOCRC patients. - areas of unmet need include information needs, mental health, sexual health and fertility counselling.

🚨New @CRUK_Policy report🚨 We've just published the full findings from our 2023 Survey of the Clinical Research Workforce. Conducted to inform our #CancerManifesto, it describes the issues that matter most to researchers across the UK. Full paper 👇 https://t.co/b4EWdJdo5g

Together with @The_MRC, we are asking medically qualified professionals to share their thoughts on barriers to progression in clinical academia in the UK. Share your thoughts through the survey below 👇

New study funded by @CR_UK highlights rising incidence & deaths due to bowel cancer in under 50s. @bowelcanceruk's #NeverTooYoung campaign was launched in 2013 to highlight this. The work continues. A great source of information & support. https://t.co/MauBwbp8HS

Would highly recommend this conference for Clinical Academics in the UK and Ireland - come and join us in Belfast this year!

Honoured to write an Editorial for BMJ Oncology on a new study investigating early-onset cancers. The epidemiology of early-onset cancers is changing globally and urgent research on aetiology is needed. @HelenColemanQUB @CPH_QUB @QUB_CATP

What a fabulous day at PhD graduation @QUBelfast delighted to have worked with @HelenColemanQUB the best supervisor I could have asked for, and also gained a friend in the process. Looking forward to continuing my academic career in @CPH_QUB

The lay summary of our study on early onset colorectal (EOCRC) cancer is now available. Key findings: - there is a lack of recognition for EOCRC patients. - Areas of unmet need include information needs, mental health, sexual health and fertility counselling. Paper coming soon.

Superb day at the Clinical Academics in Training Annual Conference 2023. Meeting and learning from clinical academics from many disciplines, sharing research and discussing future proofing healthcare research @acmedsci #CATAC2023

Delighted to announce the launch of Pancreatic Audit, Sinead Hawkins NICR, funded by @NIPANC_ Full report can be found here

The final version of our paper on the molecular profile of sporadic early onset colorectal cancer is now online. Our results show differences in somatic features across age groups, particularly in regard to BRAF MT https://t.co/FTL3WmmktH @HelenColemanQUB @mauriceloughrey

*New paper alert* from PhD research of Dr @AC_Hamilton1 in brand new @AmerGastroAssn journal Gastro Hep Advances. Systematic review of molecular profile in sporadic early-onset colorectal cancer Key findings: Minimal BRAF MT 1 in 10 have MSI-H/dMMR https://t.co/xvXeRDGYWz

Our review paper on early onset cancers is now published. We discuss the increasing incidence of malignancies in adults aged 18 to 49, summarise issues unique to this age group and discuss future research directions https://t.co/VlbAJgIQzl @HelenColemanQUB @MDPIOpenAccess

Delighted to have @RyanLangdon19 @alicerosecarter and @EpiHazelwood joining us this week @CPH_QUB to share their expert knowledge of Mendelian randomisation and build collaborations for the future

Last call for recruitment for our study looking at the impact of colorectal cancer treatment on adults aged under 50, closing at the end of December. Thanks to all involved so far. @HelenColemanQUB @DrHelenReid @OlindaSantin @CPH_QUB @QUBBowelCancer @QUBBowelCancer @QUB_CATP
