Thesis Submitted! It's always exciting when another student submits their postgraduate research thesis. Our Master of Philosophy student, Katrina Cao (@katcao_00), recently submitted her thesis. Congratulations Katrina! We eagerly await the outcome.

@AdelaideSPH Thank you so much! I'm incredibly grateful for the support and opportunities I've had with the School of Public Health. It's been a wonderful journey :)

Congratulations @KatCao_00 on submitting your Mphil. Has been a dream watching you grow over the past 2 years, bring on the PhD! @SuppOncRG can’t wait to have you! @UniofAdelaide @GradSchoolUofA

@hannahrwardill @SuppOncRG @UniofAdelaide @GradSchoolUofA Thank you so much Hannah, you are amazing! I am so lucky to work with such wonderful people in SORG 😊☺️

4/ Finally we discuss challenges of giving medicinal cannabis alongside cancer therapy, such as drug-drug interactions and impacts on treatment efficacy.

3/ Then we highlight the centrality of gut toxicity to other symptom clusters, emphasising the positive knock on effects that happen when #guthealth is preserved after #cancer treatment, including improved psychosocial health and reduced financial toxicity

2/ We first review the evidence for involvement of the #endocannabinoid system in gut function and dysfunction, and outline documented benefits of cannabis in tackling various gut symptoms.

5/ Thanks to the whole team for their work on this paper! @BellasOlivia @CourtneyCross_1 @KatCao_00 @Joanne_Bowen_ @ACWZannettino @SuppOncRG Full text found here protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-5NECxng4BIz…

1/ Up to 50% of people with #cancer use #cannabis to relieve symptoms and side effects of treatment. Research has focused mainly on #pain, #nausea and #vomiting. In @BrJCancer we discuss a new application - gut toxicity! protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-5NECxng4BIz…

Who knew supportive care could look so good! A big thank you to the incredible staff and students that make up our group. @JacquiScott0 @MayaRDavies @li_annaaa @katcao_00 @BellasOlivia @hannahrwardill @sahmriAU @UniofAdelaide
