Honoured to win Best Presentation at the 2025 SABR Consortium 🙌 Our 2-centre study showed single-fraction (34 Gy) SABR for early-stage NSCLC achieves equivalent outcomes & toxicity to 3-fraction schedules — with major benefits for patients & the environment. Findings align

Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer — around 6,000 each year. Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s someone you love. Maybe it’s someone still waiting for answers. Tomorrow is #WorldNeuroendocrineCancerDay - help us raise awareness and shine a light

📈 Neuroendocrine cancer incidence has risen 371% (1995–2018) - yet awareness remains low. We must do more to recognise and diagnose it earlier. 🔗 Learn more about neuroendocrine cancer: https://t.co/VefePiAe63

In this editorial with @RuthSharrock6 & Arran Woodhouse we explore the journey of inpatient tobacco dependency treatment, review this study and consider how we can do more to address deeply entrenched social injustice through opt out models of tobacco treatment in all healthcare

NHS England should be proud of its national inpatient tobacco dependency treatment service & a recently published study in @ThoraxBMJ confirms how this programme is addressing entrenched injustices driven by tobacco. But these services are at risk & we must fight for them

4. • Prehabilitation should start while patients are being investigated for lung cancer. • Prehabilitation in curative settings has key differences to palliative settings

3. Highlights • Evidence of efficacy for prehabilitation in lung cancer continues to grow. • ‘Distributive justice’ requires equal treatment for all patients with lung cancer. • Prehabilitation should be delivered equitably and be stage and treatment-agnostic.

5. We also demonstrate a simple decision tree algorithm & a structured query language (SQL) based natural language processing (NLP) tool can both provide scalable & standardised options to categorise CXR requests & identify those that fulfil NG12 criteria https://t.co/EuvAgBm8bK

4. In our paper published today: if, in the future, we do move to a ‘CT-first’ approach we estimate a third of primary care CXR requests would be eligible for a CT based on NiCE criteria (NG12) and would equate to over half a million additional CT scans per year.

3. This is an important question to answer for the future of symptomatic lung cancer diagnosis. @MFTnhs we’re delighted to have recruited our 1st patients to the MEDLEY study this week, led by a brilliant team in Leeds https://t.co/Lfh9aOkLlr

A clinical feasibility study which aims to understand whether low-dose CT should be used instead of chest X-ray as the first-line investigation of symptoms of possible lung cancer.

2. The NPV is so high because the prevalence of lung cancer in this cohort is very low (1.4% diagnosed within 2 years). Plus, a CT-first approach could use a substantial and limited resource with numerous additional incidental findings questioning cost-effectiveness.
