Good summary of cancer cachexia. Think malnutrition with inflammation within the GLIM criteria is a good way of defining it. @BDA_Oncology @nigps

Every day, over 34 people in the UK are diagnosed with head and neck cancer, growing 30% per decade. Only 13% catch it early. Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK urges political parties to back a long-term cancer strategy for better outcomes. #OneCancerVoice

📢 New paper: Multimorbidity and the risk of malnutrition, frailty and sarcopenia in adults with cancer in the UK Biobank @JCSM_cachexia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc… Multimorbidity was associated with increased odds of having malnutrition and (pre-)frailty and should be evaluated during nutritional and screening and assessment to support risk stratification. Thanks to @NicoleKKiss leadership! @daly_prof @LindaDenehy

@DieteticsNHFT Yes we use reactive NGs during RT or CRT if the patient does not have a prophylactic RIG inserted prior to treatment.

Great to see a dietitian on the @BAHNOOfficial head & neck MDT panel!

@CNmagazines The term ‘palliative’ derives from the Latin ‘pallium’ which means ‘cloak, protection’. Seek to understand, respect, & preserve each person’s preferences, habits & identity. Individuality & dignity should underpin the work of palliative teams.

No matter how well you know the story or the people involved… nothing prepares you for emotional punch from the latest programme about @Rob7Burrow living with MND. It’s heartbreaking. His family are wonderful… his wife is superhuman.
