So important to have real world data, outside of the envelope of a controlled trial. Well done, team #clinoncScotland
Fantastic collaboration across the 5 Scottish 🏴 cancer centres to evaluate real world performance for 1st line palliative pembrolizumab +/- plat/5FU in HNSCC. Novel efficacy data for loco-regionally advanced disease #hncsm @RadNetCRUKGla @AlekhThapa

I have a lot of time for Martina however it would be dishonest not to mention Wimbledon 1981 she came dressed as a cigarette packet. 74% of patients with head & neck cancer smoke or smoke & drink, 85% who die from it are still smoking
UK Govt. advice needs to be consistent with what we know about shedding window and potentially adjusted to disease severity to control spread
Daily reminder:
@WHO:
You can be infectious for 14 days after symptoms *stop*.
UK Govt:
Self-isolate for 7 days from when symptoms *start*.
The UK Govt needs to change its advice, urgently. We risk spreading this disease.
