Cancer appointments, including chemotherapy, for some patients in England were disrupted or rescheduled during the last nurses’ strike despite unions promising the treatment would be unaffected by walkouts 🔴 elle_odwyer reports:
The spokesperson also said it was difficult to predict the impact on future chemotherapy appointments during this week’s walkouts.
She added: “I felt very conflicted as it was said by the RCN, and therefore on the news, that cancer services would not be affected, yet many cancer nurses still went on strike as they are at liberty to do.” “The overwhelming majority of cancer care has not been impacted by strike action, with local NHS areas only rearranging cancer appointments on strike days strictly as a last resort if all other options have been exhausted and any appointment affected is given priority for immediate rearrangement,” the spokesperson said.
The nurse in London said the RCN and hospitals should be more upfront that some chemotherapy appointments had been rescheduled, contrary to the union’s pledge.She said instructions from hospitals and the union about the working arrangements for strike days should be made clearer.

Eczema as a protective factor for brain cancer: a meta-analysis - BMC CancerBackground Brain cancer is one of the most aggressive cancer types owing to poor treatment effects. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that allergies may increase the disease risk. Therefore, this study evaluated the association between eczema and the risk of various brain cancers. Methods We systematically searched the PubMed and Embase databases from their inception until June 23, 2022. Two reviewers independently reviewed and screened the articles, extracted data, assessed the study quality, and pooled the results. Stata software was used to generate pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results We included 20 studies comprising 5,117,222 patients that investigated the relationship between eczema and brain cancer. Eczema was significantly inversely associated with the risk of brain cancer (odds ratio [OR], 0.82; 95% CI, 0.77–0.87), glioma (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.14–2.02), meningioma (OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.66–0.84), and acoustic neuroma (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.41–0.88). Interesting, The strong correlation between eczema and the reduced risk of brain cancer was observed in people over 16 years old (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.71–0.88), but not in those under 16 years old (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.79–1.11). In addition, subgroup analyses found that eczema significantly decreased the glioma risk in Europeans (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.65–0.82) but not Australians (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.14–2.02) or Americans (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.69–1.46). Conclusion Eczema may be considered as a potential protective factor of brain cancer in population aged over 16 years. However, this relationship requires verification using large-scale clinical data.
