Surveillance imaging: minimal evidence and forgotten harms Routine radiographic surveillance following curative intent therapy for cancer is a major component of survivorship care plans. When patients embark on surveillance imaging, they generally expect that...

The review was accompanied by this really interesting editorial piece highlighting some of the challenges in improving this part of the cancer care pathway bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/4/1/...

A systematic review comparing surveillance recommendations for the detection of recurrence following surgery across 16 common cancer types Objectives Identify and compare guidelines making recommendations for surveillance to detect recurrence in 16 common solid cancers after initial curative treatment in asymptomatic patients.Methods and...

Intensive, long-term surveillance after curative cancer treatment is widespread – yet there is little evidence that this approach improves survival or quality of life for patients.

Predicting short-term risk of colorectal cancer using primary care records, genetics and lifestyle factors Colorectal cancer is amenable to early diagnosis and prevention, as it is often initially localised and preceded by precancerous lesions which if successfully treated their development into cancer can...

We really appreciate this accompanying editorial bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/4/1/... highlighting the value of the cutting-edge statistical methods we used to this field.

Genetics, primary care records and lifestyle factors for short-term dynamic risk prediction of colorectal cancer: prospective study of asymptomatic and symptomatic UK Biobank participants Objectives To quantify the contributions of polygenic scores, primary care records (presenting symptoms, medical history and common blood tests) and lifestyle factors, for short-term risk prediction o...

Great to see our study looking at the contributions of different data types to short-term risk prediction for colorectal cancer diagnosis published bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/4/1/...

Key finding: primary care records (especially common blood tests) and genetics make a substantial contribution.
