Good to see survivorship and late effects listed as a pressure point. Studies clearly show cancer survivors have poorer long-term health that those without cancer and that post treatment support is a postcode lottery for access to specialist late-effects services. @PRDA_uk

This is a really interesting study as benefits of high intensity exercise and resistance training are shown to have benefit for women during therapy.However, the benefits declined over time and this highlights the need to continue physical activity longer-term @SurvOncMASCC

@MerryTea @m_worm You will be brilliant Mary! Great to work with you on MASCC, CIPN and I am sure your experience in cancer treatment will be so valuable in helping patients at Royal Berkshire Cancer Centre with their therapies.

@Naman_Julka @rad__chat @royalmarsdenNHS @ICR_London @macmillancancer @RMPartnersNHS @radiotherapy_uk @SCoRMembers @Sha_bibie @SHURadiotherapy @HeidiProbst Congratulations! This is an important topic. The long term skin discolourations that people of colour can experience can be very distressing and are under reported.

Symptoms both physical and psychological continue long after cancer treatment has finished. This article highlights the need for support beyond treatment @CanceCareMASCC @TCDRadTher

Clinical trialists must recognise that improved survival alone is insufficient...cancer diagnosis and treatment are toxic to patients beyond the obvious consequences of side effects. bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/3/1/e0…

Rehabilitation is such a game changer for people who have received cancer treatment. Not only in reducing side effects, extending survival, for some cancers, but improving quality of life. Great to see WHO package of interventions for malignant neoplasms @cancernurseEU @ESTRO_RT

@DeborahWBruner1 Financial toxicity and its relationship to cancer outcomes is not unique to the US. Rural location and distance from radiotherapy centre, even in a public health system, impact treatment decision making because of the cost of travel and accommodation. @ESTRO_RT @SurvOncMASCC

Peripheral neuropathy from cancer or chemotherapy won’t kill you but it really impacts on quality of life. It gets worse as you age, impacts work and living!! We need more help and investment in research. @LesleyLesleys @WaldenstromsMac @CancerCareMASCC

@LesleyLesleys I do wonder why nurses are rare at ESTRO not even a tick box for profession? CNS provides so much support for patients who have multi-modality therapy but do they really understand radiotherapy or late effects #estr24 @cancernurseEU
