I should have been at #USCAP25 until the Heathrow disaster. However, not being here enabled me to go to my mum’s 96th birthday party on Sunday unexpectedly. Not going was all worth it when she saw me. Family over work. Every time.

Agree! I’ve been aware of Abi since my mentor, Chris Brown had it in an early trial run by Johann De Bono in 2010! It gave him another 2 years of life and its power only seems to increase.

Really shameful that more than 2 years after we learned that Abiraterone, an inexpensive medicine, saves lives, it is STILL not available in the English NHS. Thanks @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social for highlighting the struggle many men, and their doctors, are facing.

Today my work was taken up by lots of things a competent admin team could have done. So much NHS time treating patients is lost like this.

We know that black men have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer in their lifetime, but for most black men the cancer is curable when found. A good reason to consider a PSA check- prostate cancer is most easily cured when found early @npca-natcan.bsky.social

SMARCA4

SMARCA4

#PathSky 67M, long smoking hx, LN met. Keratin negative outside- β€œ?sarcoma?” The hx suggests an undifferentiated pulmonary carcinoma with SMARCA4 loss. Our keratin was a bit positive and SMARCA4 is gone. These were originally thought to be thoracic sarcomas but have smoking related mutations.
