It is Less Survivable Cancer Awareness Week. I am calling on the Health Minister to invest money into the research of these six cancers, to address inequalities in research investment, improve early diagnosis, support development of new treatments and ultimately save lives.

Earlier diagnosis and screening would be a great step forward to reduce deaths from #oesophageal cancer. The Cytosponge technology has been with us for c 20 years so it is about time that clinical practice caught up to save some of those @lesssurvivable cancer lives lost.
Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce@LessSurvivable

Today marks the first day of #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessWeek. This week, we’ll be sharing shocking figures on the research gap, encouraging you to take action, and showcasing what research can do for Less Survivable Cancers. Starting with BEST4 👇

Thank you @patrick_hurley for raising such important issues for #oesophageal and other @LessSurvivable cancers. Improving early diagnosis and correcting historical underfunding of research are vital for reducing mortality.

These are just 4 different versions of 20mg omeprazole. I realise once out of copyright, manufacturers decide on the look but without standardisation, harmful mistakes could possibly occur from taking the wong medicine?

I sometimes surprise myself. Answering someone with apnoea, I thought I ought to add a chapter on it to Down With Acid, only to find I had already done that nearly two years ago. I surprise myself with what I find in this encyclopaedia: DownWithAcid.org.uk

More facts about Barrett’s Oesophagus 3. Those who know they have it are the lucky ones. PPI + surveillance means we probably won’t die of the cancer. Those who do die did not know they had Barrett’s until it was too late. #h.od9t3ufgmcxt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sites.google.com/view/down-with…

More facts about Barrett’s Oesophagus. 2. Acid suppressant medication (PPIs) reduce the risk of Barrett’s cells mutating to cancer. #h.p_ID_207" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sites.google.com/view/down-with…

What people get wrong about Barrett’s Oesophagus. 7. Barrett’s is a death sentence. – WRONG. People with Barrett’s have as much chance of living to an old age as anyone else. But we need to find those who have it to stop them dying of OAC cancer.
