The Companion helps cancer patients monitor their own disease through validated PROMs. They can then share the data with their healthcare professional - if they want too. Ultimately it shows HCPs how patients are really feeling in between consultations and then treatment can be adjusted or changed as appropriate to the patient. No more saying to the Dr 'I'm fine' when the outcome data says they are not at all 'fine'! A valuable and powerful tool for any patient. #lungcancer #supportlungcancernursinguk #cancerresearch #pharmaceuticals

A 33-year-old woman went to the Emergency Department (ED) for abdominal pain and intermittent rectal bleeding. The attending physician ordered a colonoscopy, but it was never completed. The patient was diagnosed with colon cancer two years after her initial ED visit, and she passed away within a year. No one will ever know if having that initial follow-up would have changed her outcome, but an earlier diagnosis might have offered a better chance for survival. Preventing patients from falling through the cracks in the system is a constant challenge, and some health care organizations have turned to ambulatory safety nets to help address systemic and communication breakdowns in the continuity of care.

A “disease staging system” is a framework used to describe the progression or severity of a particular medical condition. A staging system creates a standardized way of classifying the extent of the disease, which helps healthcare professionals communicate effectively about a patient’s condition, make treatment decisions, and predict prognosis. Many people may be familiar with this regarding diseases like cancer, but there are also staging systems for Parkinson’s disease. In our recent blog, we discuss the standard staging scales that have been in use for decades, as well as a newer staging system that is being proposed. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eejpfbCM #DiseaseStagingSystem #Healthcare #PDAwareness #parkinsons

8moOne the most important need is awareness; that it is getting more common for younger patients to be diagnosed at a later stage, it used to be the older male but we are now seeing more younger people of all genders. Same symptoms can be dismissed as younger female does not fit the profile for this cancer.
