SUMMARY:Targeted Treatments and Immunotherapy for Bowel Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: Tuesday 13th January 2026\, 13:30-16:30 \nCost: £90 \nFormat: Online \nDescription: Delivered over one afternoon session\, Dr Elaine Vickers provides an up-to-date overview of modern systemic treatment approaches given to people with bowel cancer including treatment combinations and new approaches currently being investigated in clinical trials. \nElaine first of all looks at the gene mutations and faulty processes and pathways that give rise to bowel cancer\, explaining the relationship between mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) and microsatellite instability (MSI). \nShe then turns her attention to antibodies that target the EGF receptor (EGFR) and also summarises why they’re only effective for some people and looks at various reasons for resistance. \nCheckpoint inhibitor therapy has recently given highly promising results in trials\, but only if the tumour is dMMR/MSI. Elaine will describe why this is\, and explore whether immunotherapy might still hold promise for people whose cancers don’t display this characteristic. \nLastly\, Elaine will look at other targeted therapies and immunotherapies that have shown recent promise in trials. These include drugs that target B-Raf\, HER2 and Ras proteins. \nAudience: This half day course is ideal for research nurses\, clinical nurse specialists\, pharmacists and clinical trials coordinators. It may also be of interest to other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of people with bowel cancer\, and to junior doctors. \nLink to Register: Targeted treatments and immunotherapy for Bowel Cancer – Newcastle Hospitals Clinical Skills Academy

SUMMARY:Older Adults and Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: Monday 8th December 2025\, 12:30-13:30 \nCost/Format: Free\, online \nDescription: By 2035 over half of all cancers diagnosed will be in people over 75. There is a plethora of evidence which shows that older people are more likely to have one or more of the following challenges: co-morbidities\, polypharmacy\, added social support needs\, poor nutritional status\, a risk of falls and mental health concerns. \nHowever\, in oncology\, despite the over 65s accounting for the largest amount of patients\, and more likely to have additional problems\, it is acknowledged that there is a paucity of research looking at how systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) affects the elderly\, and specifically comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in oncology clinics\, where decisions regarding SACT and fitness for treatment are made. \nThis Macmillan-funded 2-year project specifically looked at frailty in the over 65s and whether CGA and increased support in this population\, could reduce the amount of toxicities\, reduce admissions and increase quality of life. We welcome Rachel Bryce & Hannah Lakeman who are delighted to be able to now share the results this work \nAudience: Healthcare Professionals working with cancer patients and their families. \nLink to Register: Older Adults & Cancer Webinar
