It was good to make the case for the molecular testing we need to help patients with cholangiocarcinoma in Scotland to @jennimintomsp.bsky.social and the Scottish Government. Hopefully this will stimulate a solution. Thanks to @benmacpherson.bsky.social for hosting.

#AMMF was at Holyrood last night! Professor @timkendall.bsky.social highlighted the need for a comprehensive molecular testing programme in Scotland to prevent some #cholangiocarcinoma patients missing out on treatment opportunities.

#AMMF’s @ammf-ceo.bsky.social shared data from the Scottish Cancer Registry revealing #CCA rates are higher in Scotland than in England & increased by over 40% from 2001-2018. This highlights the need to #RethinkLiverCancer & get a #FairerDealFaster for CCA patients in Scotland.

What is histotripsy?
