[1/5] #Glioblastoma comprises 49.1% of all primary malignant brain tumors and approximately 12,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the US. A recent study In @JAMAOnc investigated whether the addition of an... 
[2/5] autologous tumour lysate-loaded dendritic cell vaccine (DCVax-L) to the traditional standard of treatment (#surgery, #radiotherapy, and #chemotherapy) for glioblastoma prolonged survival.

[3/5] DCVax-L was found to be promising in extending survival for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma who are also receiving standard treatment for their disease.

So thrilled about #RadRes2022 Jack Little Legacy Plenary Lecture featuring 2019 Nobel Prize Laureate Bill Kaelin📢🔥
Also glad to snatch #Twitter selfie with @DKirschMDPhD who is introducing the speaker🤗

Dr Kaelin starting off with a few pearls of wisdom:
1️⃣ He advises that he actually does not have a PhD🙃
That is good news for some of us that this not a principal #physicianscientist career killer😁
(Though it probably does not hurt 😅)

2️⃣also, keep believing, and disregard predictions like this one from one of his prior advisors who questioned his career trajectory 😁 #NobelPrize
3️⃣Great #Mentorship is key⚠️

There is large heterogeneity when looking at immunogenicity of #COVID19 vaccines in #cancer patients & esp #lungcancer patients shown by @vivek_naranbhai & team in @JCO_ASCO
Chemo may suppress antibody levels somewhat.
What about #radiotherapy?

“This event is an opportunity to be reminded of where we are — we don’t stop for a single minute, and when it comes to cancer we can’t stop,” says @rafaelmgrossi, emphasizing the IAEA has been extremely active in supporting its Member States during the pandemic. #WorldCancerDay
“#Radiotherapy has been an optimal treatment option during the #COVID19 pandemic for cancer patients b/c it doesn't compete for in-demand hospital resources such as intensive care unit beds & is amenable to treatments w/ shorter regimens of radiation.” — @IAEANA's May Abdel-Wahab

As @SorenBentzen keeps saying, absolute radioresistance does not exist. You just have to up the dose💪
That is very different from drug response, which is a yes/no situation - where more drug does not give you typically a better response (with caveats 😉)

Tumors can have variable radioresistance. Lab & human data indicate that relationship between dose + tumor eradication is sigmoid🚨
Really high doses are prohibited by tolerance of normal tissue surrounding the tumor‼️
= Rationale for pursuing targeted radiosensitizers💡

THREAD on cancer treatment in #COVID19 pandemic.
The @CovidSurg collaborative have estimated that in the UK, >500,000 operations have been cancelled, including 36,000 cancer surgeries. Globally, the figures are 28.4m and 2.3m. (During peak 12 weeks of disruption) #cancer 1/

Although surgical activity is increasing again and cancer surgery is being prioritised, we are far from returning to normal levels and there is going to be an enormous backlog of cases. This will be particularly detrimental to overall cancer outcomes 2/
It gets worse. We now have data via @CovidSurg (across a range of different types of surgery) that shows a 30-day mortality rate of 23.8% in patients who develop #COVID19 infections in the post-operative period. Mortality rates of 30% have been reported after cancer surgery 3/
Not sure what to expect at the 2019 BHP Research Showcase? Our free public event will be held at @qehbham on Fri 17 May, where you can get hands-on with our health research.
