The NHS Oncology Conference 2022 Manchester Key Subjects

At the conference, we will be discussing the “NHS Long Term Plan for Oncology Care”, which sets out the following aims:

  • By 2028, an extra 55,000 people each year will survive for five years or more following their cancer diagnosis.
  • Introduce new forms of cervical cancer screening
  • Introduce a new, faster diagnosis standard, ensuring patients receive a definitive diagnosis.
  • Personalised care packages, empower patients to have more say over the care they receive.

Other topics to be discussed across the day include:

  • The importance of refining the use of patient-reported outcome (PRO) data.
  • 2022’s plan for working through backlogs, with multiple sources suggesting that it could take until 2033 to clear the backlog of cancer care due to cancer screening and treatment delays.
  • Using tech and AI to manage better and control patients’ symptoms.
  • Streamlining Oncology Patient Pathways

Everyone’s experience of cancer is unique which is why it is important that people receive care that is tailored to their needs at all points in their cancer journey. Delivering personalised care is the responsibility of everyone involved in supporting a person with cancer, irrespective of care setting and good communication is key to this.

Photobiomodulation for Oral Mucositis, results from 47 RCTs, effect size, case reports and treatment demonstration

James Carroll
CEO
THOR Photomedicine Ltd

Oral Mucositis is the most common and most significant side-effect of systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The incidence is high (40-75%) and often leads to parenteral feeding and opioids, extended periods of hospitalisation, and a higher risk of systemic infection.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a low-intensity light therapy treatment recommended by the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) and by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines in the UK for preventing or treating oral mucositis.

Data from more than 50 randomised controlled clinical trials and our studies show that PBM can reduce the incidence of grade 3 or 4 Oral Mucositis by 75%. PBM utilises light in the red and near-infrared spectrum, which is absorbed by enzymes in mitochondria to increase cellular energy (ATP) production and simultaneously reduce oxidative stress (free radicals).

The downstream effects act on gene transcription factor NF-κβ to reduce inflammatory cytokines and increase keratinocyte proliferation and migration leading to tissue repair. Treatment can be applied extra-orally and intraorally, ideally, five times a week before each fraction or RT or each infusion of CT (Monday-Friday); treatment times can be as short as five minutes per session.

The benefits are improved quality of life and reduced total cost of care through reduced parenteral feeding, reduced use of opioids, and reduced rescheduling of cancer treatments. No adverse events have been reported, including no negative effects on survival or cancer reoccurrence.

Implementing BD Cato™ to transform the Aseptic Services Unit

James Martin
Lead Pharmacist – Oncology & QA Services
The London Clinic

Case Study - BD UK

Implementing BD Cato™ to transform the Aseptic Services Unit 

James Martin from The London Clinic will share their experiences of how prior to implementation the preparation within the Aseptic Services Unit was time consuming, manual and labour-intensive. Wanting to reduce manual transcription of prescriptions and improve medication safety, they chose BD Cato™ to simplify the processes and integrate into one system to improve workflow efficiencies and patient safety. This was also the first BD Cato™ interface with the MOSAIQ™ e-prescribing system. Post implementation the unit saw a reduction in turnaround time by 21%, reallocation of 20% headcount to other value-added activities, reduction in 95% of errors and patient chair time has been reduced by 20-30 minutes.

"French experience with PBI using a 50 KV photon beam device" Agnès Tallet, Head of Radiation Oncology Department at Institut Paoli-Calmettes (Confirmed)

Case Study - Zeiss

"French experience with PBI using a 50 KV photon beam device"

Background. This French study reports the 5-year results of partial-breast irradiation using intraoperative-radiation-therapy (IORT) with 50 kV X-rays, in select early-breast cancer patients.
Methods. We report a retrospective analysis of 676 consecutive early-breast cancer patients treated between November 2011 and December 2015 by partial-breast irradiation using the Intrabeam system. Patients were highly selected based on the ASTRO and GEC-ESTRO criteria and underwent breast-conservative surgery and IORT, completed with additional whole-breast irradiation (WBI) when unexpected unfavorable prognostic factors were found at the final pathology report. Patients’ outcomes relative to local and distant control, overall and breast-cancer specific survival and toxicity are presented, as well as rates of additional WBI.
Results. Additional WBI was mandatory in one-third of patients (31%), mainly due to lymph nodes involvement and extensive intraductal component. With a median follow-up time of 54 months, the 5-year local recurrence rate was 1.7% [95%CI: 0.9-3.3]; the median-time to local recurrence was 23 months; ipsilateral-breast recurrences mainly occurred in the same quadrant (7/11); in the restricted population, meeting all predefined criteria and treated with IORT-alone (406 patients), the local recurrence rate was 1.5% [95%CI: 0.6-3.6]. Five-year distant tumor control was 98.6% [95%CI: 97.2-99.3], the median-time to distant recurrence was 22 months. Five-year overall survival was 96.5% [95%CI: 94.2-97.8], 5-year breast-cancer specific survival was 98.9% [95%CI: 97.6-99.7]. In patients treated with IORT-alone, there was no grade 3 toxicity, only four grade 3 (mainly fibrosis) affected patients treated with IORT and WBI. Grade 1-2 toxicity rates were 14% and 34.4% in patients treated with IORT-alone and IORT plus WBI, respectively.
Conclusion.  Partial-breast irradiation using IORT by a 50-kV photons device is safe and well-tolerated in select patients with early-breast cancer and is a valuable option in patients reluctant for adjuvant WBI.

Convenzis Healthcare Event testimonials

What our clients say about us

It was great to join the Convenzis team again for the patient flow event. As always, the team were incredibly accommodating and happy to help. The quality of attendees is always of a high standard and relevant to the patient flow and to us also. We continue to have great discussions and footfall around our stand with no need to try and encourage people to come and see us. Really positive event for us and we look forward to working with Convenzis in the future.

Catalyst BI -

My colleague and I presented at the NHS workforce conference 2023, 19 September. The support and guidance we received from the Convenzis team in the run up to our presentation slot was great, well timed and perfectly pitched. The event itself, again was expertly organised. The conference was well Chaired by Sean, who was very engaging. As an audience member as well as a panel member, I would definitely work with the Convenzis team again.

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!
