Lots of polygenic scores for lung cancer have been developed - which one to use? Our systematic review and validation finds that this depends on the characteristics of your population. However, none of the PGS performed well, so translation into clinical practice is not imminent. lnkd.in/eFjcDU7P

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. Our systematic review of follow-up guidelines just published in BMJ Oncology. 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...

Genetics, primary care records and lifestyle factors for short-term dynamic risk prediction of colorectal cancer bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/4/1/... Wonderful stuff from Samantha Ip, @antonis02.bsky.social , Angela Wood and co!

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.

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...
