Patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have a life-limiting illness and short prognosis experience many debilitating symptoms from early in the illness. Innovations such as remote symptom monitoring are needed to enable patients maintain wellbeing manage proactive timely manner. The Advanced Symptom Management System (ASyMS) has been successfully used monitor associated cancer.
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterised by significant in-hospital virus transmission and deaths among healthcare workers. Sources of are not fully understood, with special precautions currently reserved for procedures previously shown to generate aerosols (particles <5 μm). Pleural considered AGPs (Aerosol Generating Procedures), reflecting a lack data in this area. Methods An underwater seal chest drain bottle (R54500, Rocket Medical UK) was set up inside 60-litre...

Abstract Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is employed in patients with larger tumors to attempt downstage locally advanced cancers allow breast conservation and assess vivo tumor response. The Multi-Institutional Therapy MammaPrint Project I (MINT) study asked a secondary question of whether complete nodal downstaging could also be achieved NAC. Methods: This analysis included 147 eligible invasive cancer high burdens, classified as cT2-4N0-3M0 (T2 greater than 3.5cm if N0)....
<b>Introduction:</b> Pleural effusions commonly present as emergency hospital admissions. Our aim was to identify what proportion of admissions could be avoided by upscaling ambulatory diagnostic pleural services, including use a responsive nurse specialist and hot-clinic activity. <b>Methods:</b> We retrospectively reviewed all aspirations between 1.8.17 – 28.2.18 at our unit. Reason for admission length stay (LoS) were recorded. <b>Results:</b> 80% (149/187) cases admissions, 6% (11/187)...
<b>Background:</b> Malignant pleural effusion often presents as an emergency, has a high symptom burden and poor prognosis. Reducing time spent on the diagnosis inpatient bed days is vital. Service provision using trainee physicians challenging, given variable thoracic ultrasound (TUS) procedural competencies. Delivery of education also prompting development Pleural Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) role within tertiary disease centre. <b>Methods:</b> The CNS was appointed in January 2019...
