From @JAMA_current: Among patients undergoing liver resection for a cancer-related indication, tranexamic acid did not reduce bleeding or blood transfusion but increased perioperative complications. ja.ma/4dza3WA
โOnce you choose hope, anything is possible.โ Christopher Reeve. I have repeated that to myself a thousand times. As doctors we always want to improve the outcome, and although sometimes we canโt, we can always affect the journey. Hope is key to every patient journey ๐
๐ National Cancer Wellness Awareness Day ๐
Today, we come together to raise awareness about the importance of #CancerWellness and the incredible support provided by cancer wellness centers and patient groups.
Cancer wellness is about nurturing #hope, building strength, and supporting overall well-being. These centers and groups play a vital role in helping individuals and their families navigate the challenges of cancer through comprehensive care and support programs.
At C3, we join efforts to grow #CCAHope among individuals affected by #cholangiocarcinoma by enhancing access to personalized testing, expert opinions, and treatments.
Read more about HOPE, and what we at C3 hope for.

On May 22 and 23, we gathered experts and people with cancer from across Canada for our Cancer Clinical Trials Forum. They met with politicians to talk about cancer treatment and innovation through clinical trials. Thanks to these committed Members of Parliament for leading this work!
We're so grateful for the collaboration through Canadaโs first all-party federal cancer caucus at the House of Commons because cancer is an issue that affects ALL Canadians.
