Medicine is failing to take care of its own – and the consequences can be disastrous. For the first time, Australian Medical Association head Stephen Robson describes in shocking detail what almost became the final day of his life: bit.ly/3Kf2S8D

Breaking the silence is excruciating but it is the only way to protect and support others. If you or someone you care about has faced a similar experience, I hope you find validation, strength and your own voice in my story. @MelissaLDavey @gabriellecj theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Breaking a decade of silence. As the ONLY trainee to win in criminal court against a senior doctor, I’ve seen the system betray victims. Abusers hide behind status quo, we must demand change 🙏🏻 C Begeny + team @JamesTGallagher @BBCNews #MeTooMedicine www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject…

Beautiful writing on burnout on oncology.
Why feeling 'chronically overwhelmed' can set off a downward spiral of self-criticism, negative self-talk & losing hope. And how we all have a 'resilience threshold'.
Thank you @MarkRobsonMD 🙏

Know someone putting off routine cancer screening? Now's the time to remind them to put it at the top of their to-do list #CancerScreeningSavesLives
According to data released by @aihw there were 145,000 fewer mammograms in 1st half of 2020 compared to 2018. Let's change this!
Australians need to act now to get up to date with their bowel, breast & cervical screening following data released today that shows fewer are screening in 2020 than previous years. For more info on our campaign to encourage more people to screen, visit: cancer.org.au

Single fraction palliative RT for metastatic bone pain is just as effective as protracted regimens. Johnstone & Recht summarizes the overwhelming evidence for this proposition, arguing that barriers against are mainly psychological.
It's time, indeed!

LungART trial finally out at #ESMO20. Postop #radiotherapy with no significant benefit. Mediastinal recurrence of 46% without PORT was what would be expected & PORT decreased it but (I must say surprisingly) did not translate into DFS or OS benefit @PercyLeeMD @KHigginsMD #lcsm
#ESMO20 LUNG ART showed no improvement in DFS or OS with post-operative radiotherapy for completely resected N2 NSCLC. In fact, PORT had a non-significant increase in DFS and increased cardiopulmonary toxicity. Routine PORT no longer SOC. #LCSM @OncoAlert
