Trinity St James's Cancer Institute

Having achieved the accreditation as the first Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Ireland we hope we @CancerInstIRE can support national efforts to contribute to a decrease in cancer incidence and mortality in Ireland, and represent as a standard bearer for cancer care.

Fantastic to see strong collaboration showcased at the @CancerInstIRE CaRes symposium. Congratulations to all involved, from @JessieAElliott @wardm6TCD, @SITU_Oxford to @RCSI_NSRSC, @cancertrials_ie & @ICATProgramme on advancing vital work in oesophageal & gastric cancer research

Thank you to everyone marking #WorldOvarianCancerDay 💙 Seeing landmarks illuminated in teal is a powerful symbol of solidarity -amazing work by all in raising awareness of ovarian cancer. @CancerInstIRE @stjamesdublin @Shotoole81 @tcddublin @TrinityMed1 @HSEDubMidlands @hseNCCP

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported #WorldOvarianCancerDay 💙 The sight of buildings lighting up in teal is truly inspiring, together we are raising awareness, honouring those affected, and driving change. #GoTeal

Delighted to see buildings across the country lighting up to raise awareness for World Ovarian Cancer Day on May 8th, including our CEO Building @CancerInstIRE @stjamesdublin. Together, we shine a light on ovarian cancer & the importance of awareness, early detection & support.

On #WorldOvarianCancerDay we’re reminded that awareness can save lives. Know the symptoms, trust your body, and act early - together we can improve outcomes for women across communities nationwide #NoWomanLeftBehind @CancerInstIRE @stjamesdublin @tcddublin

Around 400 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year in Ireland. There is no screening test, awareness is key. Let’s close the knowledge gap and ensure #NoWomanLeftBehind #WorldOvarianCancerDay #CancerAwareness

Sincere thanks to Miriam O’Callaghan @MiriamOCal for shining a light on #WorldOvarianCancerDay 💙 Raising awareness is so important to help women recognise symptoms earlier and seek care sooner. #NoWomanLeftBehind @CancerInstIRE @stjamesdublin @tcddublin

Today is #WorldOvarianCancerDay New research shows fewer than 1 in 3 women in Ireland feel confident recognising symptoms. Know the signs. Trust your body. Early detection saves lives. #NoWomanLeftBehind #OvarianCancer

Dr Sharon O'Toole @CancerInstIRE promoting awareness for #WorldOvarianCancerDay. Do you know the #BEAT symptoms of ovarian cancer? 🔹 Bloating 🔹 Eating less/feeling full 🔹 Abdominal pain 🔹 Toilet changes Awareness matters. #NoWomanLeftBehind

Excited to see the upcoming @CancerInstIRE CaRES seminar series bringing a focus to innovative oesophagogastric cancer research. A great opportunity to hear about cutting-edge clinical and translational work - don’t miss it! @stjamesdublin @tcddublin @TrinityMed1

Amazing support for #WorldOvarianCancerDay Wonderful to see Miriam O’Callaghan, advocate Deirdre Flannelly, Amy Nolan @IrishCancerSoc, Bernie Carter, @MarieKeating & Sharon O’Toole @CancerInstIre coming together to raise awareness, vital for earlier detection #NoWomanLeftBehind

Great to see @CancerInstIRE Gynae researchers in Dundrum today raising awareness for #WorldOvarianCancerDay Engaging the public and sharing vital symptom information is key to earlier detection #WorldOvarianCancerDay #NoWomanLeftBehind #CancerAwareness

Proud to see @CancerInstIRE @tcddublin researchers leading international thinking on pancreatic cancer. This new “playbook” highlights why tackling multiple hallmarks of the disease is key to improving outcomes. For more information click 👉 bit.ly/3RjstnE

Researchers @tcddublin & @CancerInstIRE have published a major new “playbook” for pancreatic cancer in Cancer Letters, mapping how genetics, immunity & the tumour environment interact. A vital step toward tackling one of the deadliest cancers. Click: bit.ly/48ItT14

In contrast to me, Prof Kennedy is a brilliant oncologist, who was one of the early founders of the specialty in Ireland. Prof Kennedy chaired the current national cancer strategy (gov.ie/en/department-…), which expires this year. The government @roinnslainte is under no obligation to develop a new cancer strategy, but I think it is clearly the right thing to do. The minister has agreed in principle to developing a new strategy. Also in contrast to me, I happen to know Prof Kennedy is a bibliophile; he uses words sparingly, and very precisely, only when something is specifically worth saying. About Prof Kennedy: In challenging clinical situations, he will always take your call, and will give solid clinical advice every time. Monday, Wednesday, Friday 2pm ward rounds, like a clock. He checked in not only with cancer patients, also with the staff, every day. Between 4 and 5pm, my best chance of finding him if I needed him would be to go to the dayward, where every day he would go deliberately, to check if things were ok. If something was not ok, he would drop everything, go straight to the CEOs office, and insist on a solution. The CEO listened. Most of the weekends I was on call, I found him in his office on Saturdays, unpaid, finishing off the week’s responsibilities. I honestly do not mind if policy makers or resource allocators do not want to listen to me, but at least listen to John. He is a leader in the field. Ireland is unprepared for ‘enormous’ rise in cancer cases, leading oncologist warns independent.ie/irish-news/ire…

World Immunization Week is a good reminder that vaccines work for every generation. HPV vaccination helps prevent multiple cancers. #WorldImmunizationWeek #HPVNetworkIreland #HPV #CancerPrevention

An important article with @ProfJohnKennedy in the @Independent_ie highlighting the scale of the cancer challenge ahead for Ireland. Planning, investment, & coordinated action across the system will be critical to meet the needs of future patients. independent.ie/irish-news/ire…

Incredible buzz at #AACR26 around the daraxonrasib data in #mKRAS #PDAC exciting signals & real hope for patients. Huge congratulations to @EileenMOReilly Chair of Scientific Advisory Board @CancerInstIRE on a standout presentation & tireless Q&A. Fantastic science and leadership

Congratulations to @OanaDeac on this excellent open‑access publication on young‑onset GI cancer. Great to see clinical insight combined with population cancer data to generate real‑world impact @CancerInstIRE @stjamesdublin @MaeveLowery @EmilyHarrold6 @KeohaneNicola @tcddublin
