🚨 TIME TOXICITY in Cancer Care ⏰ How much of a patient’s remaining life is spent in hospitals instead of at home? 🏥💔 A first-of-its-kind prospective Indian study (CTRI/2023/05/053281) finds: 🧬 92 patients with advanced cancers 🕰️ Mean time toxicity = 226 hrs / 2 months (~9 days) ⚖️ 17% of life spent in healthcare-related activities 🚗 Travel & waiting time = 🔝 contributors 💉 Only ~1/8 of time adds real treatment value 💡 Higher QoL → lower time toxicity 🎯 Implication: For many with limited survival, time may be the most precious currency. 👉 Oncologists must weigh not only drug toxicity… but time toxicity. 📖 Mailankody et al., BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care, 2025 🔗doi.org/10.1136/spcare-2025-… #PalliativeCare #OncoTwitter #MedTwitter #BMJ @OncoAlert @esmo_open @ASCO @myESMO @bmj_latest

#TittyTuesday 💗 A #mammogram can save your life But only if you do it in time. 🚫Stop waiting for SHA to call you. 🚫Stop waiting for someone to pay for you. 🚫Stop waiting for a lump you can feel. By then, cancer is already ahead of you. #Breastcancer 👙does not give warnings. No alarms⏰. No early pain😩. Silence 🤫is how it wins. Take charge🙌🏾. Book that mammogram yourself🫵🏽. Buy yourself more years⌛. Buy yourself future birthdays🎂. Buy yourself time with the people👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏿 who love ❤️you. You are worth the cost💵. You are worth the effort💪🏾. You are worth the screening🔍. 💗 Share 🔁this with a woman you love. Remind her: The best gift is a life 🕊️saved early. Yours faithfully Dr Andrew Odhiambo MD FRCP Consultant Medical Oncologist🩺 #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

A Thread ive wanted to post for a long time 🧵 5 things I’d tell you as an oncologist… if I wasn’t afraid to hurt your feelings. Some truths save lives. Some sting. But silence? That one kills. Let’s go: 👇 #OncologyUnfiltered #MedTwitter #HardTruthsSaveLives
