#AMMF is at Holyrood! Prof Tim Kendall highlighted the need for a comprehensive molecular testing programme in Scotland to prevent some #cholangiocarcinoma patients missing out on treatment opportunities.

#AMMF’s CEO Dr Helen Morement shared data from the Scottish Cancer Registry revealing #CCA rates are higher in Scotland than in England & increased by over 40% from 2001-2018. This highlights the need to #RethinkLiverCancer & get a #FairerDealFaster for CCA patients in Scotland.

With universities unable to afford them, clinical academics across the country are being offered redundancy.
These are the people who teach our doctors and conduct ground breaking research.
More must be done to support them.

Exciting new research from Prof Tom Bird's group and collaborators has shown that the senescence of liver cells induces multi-organ senescence and dysfunction and identifies the TGFβ pathway as a critical mediator of this spread

Only 13% of #cholangiocarcinoma patients get potentially life-saving surgery, while over 50% receive no treatment at all. We must #RethinkLiverCancer and expand #CCA care options. More info: ammf.org.uk/rethink-liver-ca… #bileductcancer #AMMF

Excellent talk @AmCollSurgeons #ACSCC24 by @DimDamask about futility in emergency general surgery, reminding us about the principles of consent, realistic medicine & the perils of operating on unwell frail patients in the emergency setting.
A great ambassador for @EdinSurg !
