NHS England aims for faster cancer treatment with new data tool
NHS England aims for faster cancer treatment with new data tool
Cancer 360 will help collate patient information from spreadsheets, emails and records into single digital system
Millions of cancer patients have been promised faster diagnosis and treatment, with the rollout of a new technology across the NHS in England.
The tool, called Cancer 360, is designed to bring cancer patients’ data into one central system in order that doctors and nurses can prioritise those most in need and see them more quickly. Continue reading...

Grandeza de Cristo para los no creyentes
El ateísmo no impide valorar la ética de Cristo: amar al distinto, perdonar enemigos, priorizar pobres. Lecciones vigentes en un mundo de odios.

If you were taught to test for proportional hazards, talk to your teacher.
The proportional hazards assumption is implausible in most #randomized and #observational studies because the hazard ratios aren't expected to be constant during the follow-up. So "testing" is futile.
But there is more 👇

That "immortal time" is so frequent in survival analyses for #causalinference is fascinating.
Because "immortal time" doesn't exist in the data, *we* create it when misanalyzing the data.
Our new paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39494894/ summarizes why immortal time arises & how to prevent it.
