Boy doing well

First time using #FalkirkTV to watch and the quality is lightyears ahead of what @englandfootball.bsky.social often manage for their youth teams.

From CONCORD-3 (iris.unife.it/retrieve/han...) - of the 18 cancers studied, the US were assessed as having higher survival in 10 and Denmark in 8 for the most recent period reported; hardly the "death sentence" claimed.

Very good letter about nhse cuts in @privateeyenews.bsky.social highlighting some of the very real dangers of the process.

Honestly surprised it's this low.

I presume he's going to deport himself and his entire administration.

Hopefully UK plc will see this.

If patients have these significant financial, physical and psychological harms when their cancer may have been fine even if untreated, this is what (at a population level) is being assessed for introducing a screening programme.

The most common side effects of this surgery are incontinence and impotence (a minority avoid one or both) which are significant physical and psychological things to deal with.

As well as the individual costs for patients, this also has significant cost for the NHS (testing, more appointments etc)

Even if these theories are wrong, there is uncertainty about which group a patient should belong in.

Once symptomatic or PSA continues to rise, active treatment usually starts, the most common first step being surgery.

Further testing can suggest likely risk of mortality but some assessed as very low risk will die from their cancer diagnosis, others with a higher risk assessment don't.

There are theories that the low risk patients who die have undetectable cancer spread when testing.

Insurance (life, travel) is much more expensive if it can still be obtained, similarly mortgages.

We don't currently have tests that show if a patient is in the "die with not from" group without treatment, "die after successful treatment" group or "die after unsuccessful cancer treatment" group.

PSA being elevated doesn't guarantee prostate cancer but even when it does reflect cancer being present, it doesn't mean the cancer will harm the patient (may not ever have symptoms and may not cause their death).

But the moment someone is diagnosed, that has huge implications financially.

Girls ages 16 years or younger who received HPV vaccines were 80% less likely than their unvaccinated counterparts to develop cervical cancer.

Evidence from 23 studies showed that HPV vaccination lowered the incidence of high-grade cervical precancers.

They are not assessing whether it is easy to do PSA testing (it is), they are assessing whether doing mass PSA testing will cause more harm than good to the men tested.

Unsurprising and good to see that many men will not suffer life changing side effects unnecessarily.

Worst PM and advisers ever.

Yeah, but voters do care, Mahmood, they care a lot

They care that you’re tearing children away from the only home they’ve ever known and sentencing them to years of fear, instability, and trauma

They care that violent racist criminals like Tommy Robinson are applauding your policies

it's basically impossible to argue with this, they have won significant policy concessions, and there's no reason to think they'll stop pushing now that Labour have opened the door for them

i really believe in tackling gender inequality but few things seem quite as wrongheaded to me as the demand to transfer wealth from poorer younger generations with a far-distant retirement age, lower real wages and very little hope of property acquisition, to wealthy boomers who didn't read a letter
