Perfectly summed up. Totally agree with you that out-of-context results can be very distressing, quite often unnecessarily. I’ve had similar experiences in my practice too. Once that confidence is lost, it takes a lot to rebuild it

Stop the Spiral: How Early Test Results Are Hurting Cancer Patients As an oncologist, I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. A patient gets their imaging results or tumor marker levels through their online portal days before we’re scheduled to meet. By the…

My weekly essay is up, inspired by the countless moments this week spent calming anxious patients after early test results. Should oncologic results wait until the doctor’s appointment? Is instant access helping or hurting? Share your thoughts. 🧬✨ #Oncology #Hematology #Medsky

Did a difficult consult with my patient y’day. New diagnosis prostate Ca. He was really struggling to make up his mind about his options. Didn’t worry about keeping to time, took us an hour but in the end he made an informed satisfied choice. Importance of never rushing patients #Cansky #Oncsky

Heartiest congratulations! Such a cute pic! God bless you all ❤️

Cancers getting diagnosed at earlier stages Awareness campaigns and new screening approaches are having an impact, says NHS England.

‘It’s good to talk’.
#Cancer & dying is a tough topic. Not your party type of conversation BUT it is good to talk about it.

Why don’t you add ‘death talk’ to your list of New Year resolutions, this year? Even if you are a #CancerMuggle 😁

What do you think??

Oncological Safety of MRI-Informed Biopsy Decision-Making in Men With Suspected Prostate Cancer This cohort study assesses the feasibility and safety of a community-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic strategy in men with suspected prostate cancer using 3-year active monitoring.

Precision med includes imaging to individualize care. Of 593 biopsy-naive men, 48% had (-) prostate MRIs and were followed. After 3 yrs of monitoring, clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 4% of men with negative MRIs. Avoiding biopsies can be considered if MRI is (-)

There’s no “right way” to deal with cancer.
