Milestones in Managing and Curing Rectal Cancer – online access

January 18, 2022 by pelicanadmin

A series of short films presented by Professor Bill Heald & Mr Brendan Moran in discussion with peers.

Pelican Cancer Foundation is proud to launch Milestones in Managing and Curing Rectal Cancer, a series of short films presented by Professor Bill Heald and Mr Brendan Moran.

Professor Heald & Mr Moran will be in discussion with colleagues ​​from across the country about the many contributions that have been made by the multidisciplinary cancer team, to develop and improve the treatment and care of cancer patients. The ​films will be freely available to all our clinical colleagues, but we hope ​​they will ​also be of interest to you our supporters. Please note that these films are aimed at our clinical audience and will contain some ​live surgery.

The series of films will acknowledge the developments in the medical research and education that has improved surgery for bowel cancer and its associated secondary disease. Pelican has worked tirelessly over the years and remains dedicated to helping those with bowel cancer live well for longer.

For updates, follow us on Twitter or check back on our website.

November 2020 – COVID-19 update from Pelican Cancer Foundation

November 4, 2020 by pelicanadmin

Our small team is now starting to get back to work, from their own homes, and will be doing their best to get Pelican up and running again so that we can continue to deliver our mission of driving innovation and development in bowel cancer, focusing particularly on advancing surgical treatment.

While, sadly, Pelican is still not able to undertake its prime mission – to educate clinicians across the UK to improve the treatment of bowel cancer, we are exploring the possibility of delivering online training.  At the same time, clinical staff across the NHS continue to work extremely hard to treat all patients who need attention, which includes all those with Covid-19.

The Trustees of Pelican Cancer Foundation reluctantly decided to furlough our brilliant team during the earlier peak of the pandemic because they were not able to carry out their normal roles, including organising education programmes and fundraising events.  We also offered our office space to the hospital in Basingstoke so that administrative staff could work there and free up space for the clinical services in the hospital.

We are working on a path through this difficult time for Pelican so that we can continue to work with clinicians throughout the NHS.  We have started to explore the potential to deliver our education programmes online so that NHS staff do not need to travel to continue to learn.  A new direction for Pelican!

Pelican IMPACT travels to London for our ninth workshop

July 15, 2019 by pelicanadmin

On Friday 12th July, Pelican Cancer Foundation staff, faculty and delegates convened for our ninth Pelican IMPACT workshop in London. Comprising of 122 colorectal specialists from 14 hospitals, our one day programme comprised of 10 sessions that were delivered by 26 specialists from 11 different hospitals.

Individual patient discussion to deliver the best possible care

Our innovative national development programme brings together these multi-disciplinary specialists who are treating patients affected by advanced colorectal cancer, to discuss the treatment pathway and complex areas through case examples. With the focus on patients, our aim through Pelican IMPACT is to concentrate on the outstanding care that is given – in order to make it even better.

Our session on ‘colorectal lung metastases’ presented by Mr. John Pilling, (Consultant Thoracic Surgeon, Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust), focused on the treatment of bowel cancer spread to the lung.

Mr. Pilling and a panel of different specialists presented a complex patient case in an open discussion with the audience, challenging the treatment options and pathway of care. Medical history (information) and scans provided a basis for the in-depth and lengthy discussion regarding patient management and treatment options between different specialists and hospital teams.

Decision making for each individual patient is intricate and complicated, and this discussion highlighted the breadth of expertise available within the region. It reiterated the necessity of multidisciplinary team involvement and for some cases, knowledge of other specialists in the region to refer to in order to ensure the best treatment for the patient.

We are thrilled with the outstanding feedback we’ve received from the day overall (as with the previous eight regional workshops) – reflecting the exceptional standard of learning on the day, delivered by a team offering a diverse range of talent.

One delegate commented: “Increased discussion of possible outcomes at beginning of patient journey – bad and good”.  Another said the day was: “very well thought out…. powerful patient perspective videos…”

The more informed a patient is, the more they can make informed decisions about their treatment.

We’re looking forward to continuing our series of workshops with our next IMPACT meeting due to take place in Taunton on 13th September.

Fundraise for Pelican Cancer Foundation

April 23, 2019 by pelicanadmin

There are many different ways that you could support Pelican Cancer Foundation.

We’d love you to fundraise for us!

Why not organise or participate in a fun event to raise funds for Pelican’s work?  For some inspiration take a look at some of our fundraisers stories.

In fact, the opportunities for fundraising are endless: golf days, office dressing up/down days, coffee mornings, quiz night, children’s discos, karaoke evenings, barn dances, Christmas fairs, dinner dances, marathons, sponsored walks/runs, sponsored haircuts, or walkathons, dog walks, cricket matches, concert evenings, art exhibitions, fashion shows, bridge evenings, clay pigeon shoots, open gardens, sky-diving – or even taking part in, or organising, an overseas challenge, which could be an experience of a lifetime! Whatever you choose to do, raise money for Pelican whilst having fun. Check out these ideas.

Alternatively, you might want to set yourself a sporting or fitness challenging. You can ask for sponsorship and wear Pelican colours! Check out these challenges.

If organising an event or collecting sponsorship is not for you, you can still help by using platforms to collect donations as you spend.

  • Smile Amazon – You use your usual amazon account but via www.smile.amazon.co.uk (not amazon.co.uk). If you select us as your nominated charity, AmazonSmile will automatically donate a portion of the eligible purchases to us, at no cost or hassle to you.
  • Give as you Live – a free and easy way to raise money for your favourite charity, just by shopping online. Once you’ve signed up, you can browse the website for the store you want to shop with and click ‘shop & raise’ to go to their website, then continue to shop as normal – www.giveasyoulive.com/charity/pelicancancer
  • eBay – You can choose to sell for charity or make a donation – www.charity.ebay.co.uk/charity/Pelican-Cancer-Foundation/26450

Auction or raffle prizes – we are always on the look-out for auction and raffle prizes to raise funds at the small number of events Pelican holds each year. This could be in the form of luxury goods, vouchers, hampers, wine, holidays, high-quality toiletries, celebrity memorabilia, tickets to sporting events or concerts … whatever may make an appealing auction prize. We are very grateful to all our supporters who provide so much help and support in kind.

Tell us your ideas. Let us what you’re up to – we can profile your event on Pelican’s website and in our supporter e-bulletin and/or newsletter.

Key messages from the faculty – TIPTOP

February 12, 2019 by pelicanadmin

Reducing timelines in a time of increased demands

  • To work collaboratively with all those involved in the pathway
  • Try and trim off time at each step of the pathway without compromising patient care

mpMRI and biopsy

  • Target the lesion, sample the other side
  • Once you are happy with your MRI/targeted biopsy pathway, allow men with a negative MRI and low PSA density to choose not to have standard biopsy
  • mpMRI is an effective, validated diagnostic tool in the detection of prostate cancer but, as a limited resource, should be used wisely and appropriately.
  • Urologists should refrain from undertaking routine transrectal biopsy in patients with a marginally raised PSA without considering all factors in the decision making process e.g. FHX, DRE findings, BRCA status, MRI findings and PSA density.
  • Transrectal biopsy is not without its morbidity and should not be used as a screening biopsy tool.

 Pathology in the pathway

  • Clinicians do not need knowledge of histology but must be able to interpret pathology report data correctly
  • Prostate biopsy report interpretation has several unique features. “Headline” figures may be misleading
  • Grade and stage are biological continuums with subjective cut-offs. In borderline cases, effective communication is more important than the accuracy of assigned grade/stage.

Patient’s perspective from the CNS

  • Consider what patients expect and require from the referral process and what constitutes a good patient experience
  • Understand the MRI, understand the patient, plan a strategy

Pelican partners with MRSL as their charity of the year

October 2, 2018 by pelicanadmin

We are really excited to be partnering with medical insurance company MRSL Enterprise as their charity of the year!

Founded by a former Head of Operations of the NHS Litigation Authority and a PhD Engineer, MRSL focusses on insurances for medical risks. The core of their business is to work with medical businesses – surgeons, doctors, dentists and ancillary healthcare to understand their risks, and to develop products and accurate pricing to completely indemnify and insure these businesses.

MRSL Enterprise is also committed to obtaining fair insurance for those who wish to travel with medical conditions, including cancer.  If you do speak to MRSL Enterprise – please mention that you found them through Pelican Cancer Foundation. MRSL Enterprise will then make a donation to Pelican.

MRSL’s Chris Cloke Browne visited the Pelican offices and met with our community fundraiser Tim Lockwood to discuss future event plans with us.

MRSL Enterprise plans to:

  • Promote Pelican’s work and values
  • Make relevant corporate donations to the charity throughout the year as situations arise
  • Assist in the work of Pelican in a non-financial way, using practical and specialist help

We are hugely looking forward to working with MRSL over the next 12 months.

Bob’s story

August 9, 2018 by pelicanadmin

Bob Williams – The Prostate Saga – My journey through prostate cancer

L to R: Bob Williams, Sarah Crane (CEO of Pelican Cancer Foundation),

 

My recent 60th birthday was not as enjoyable as I would have liked, about a week before it I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, it is described as treatable, but doing nothing is not an option. This all started back in August 2014 when I needed to see my GP because of a pulled hamstring and mentioned that I was going to the loo more frequently. My GP suggested that I have a blood test to check my PSA, she also explained about the other ‘treats’ that form part of the diagnosis.  Well, the PSA came back as 3.6 which she thought was a little high, so we progressed to the next stage. DRE is a digital examination, but there’s nothing technical about it.  So far I’ve been prodded and poked, sliced and diced, I’ve had a DRE, an MRI, a TRUS biopsy and a bone scan.

Why am I writing this? Hopefully so that anyone who reads this and is male, around 50 years old or more and has not had themselves checked goes and gets themselves checked.  If through reading this one person gets themselves checked, then my work is done. The message still remains the same, if you know a man over 45 who has not had a PSA test, drag the shy, selfish so-and-so down to the doctor’s and get it done!

Pelican welcomes new Chair of Trustees 

August 7, 2018 by pelicanadmin

Pelican has welcomed Mary Edwards as its new Chair of Trustees. We are all delighted to welcome her and look forward to working with her developing the charity’s plans for the future.  Mary brings great understanding and experience of the NHS, including research.

Mary is taking over from Sir Peter Michael – and during his time as chairman, Pelican has worked with doctors and nurses from across the UK and Europe to research and embed major changes in both bowel and prostate cancer treatment.

Mary is former chief executive of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and a Governor of the University of Winchester. She joined Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital in 1995 as Director of Nursing and Patient Services and was appointed Chief Executive in 2003. She led the successful integration of Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust with Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare Trust to form Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in January 2012.

She said: “I am delighted to have been appointed as Chair of Trustees for Pelican Cancer Foundation.

“Pelican focuses on a cause that is very dear to my heart, having spent my whole career working alongside clinicians pushing the boundaries of diagnosis, treatment and care for patients who are diagnosed with cancer.”

Subscribe to Pelican Film Society

July 5, 2018 by pelicanadmin

We hold film screenings once a month, from September to July, in the Squire Theatre at The Ark in Basingstoke.

Starting in 2003, the Pelican Film Society shows films which either never made it to Basingstoke, or which came and went too quickly for most of us to see. It’s a great opportunity to see recent, art-house and classic films on the huge screen at The Ark Conference Centre.

Even better, it is all in support of a great cause, as all profits from the screenings go to Pelican Cancer Foundation to fight below the belt cancers. The charity is dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for bowel, bladder, prostate and secondary liver cancer patients. Since its inauguration, the Film Society has raised over £18,000 for the charity to help improve treatment for below-the-belt cancers through research and education for cancer specialists.

Pelican Cancer Foundation – tackling prostate cancer

June 5, 2018 by pelicanadmin

Donate to Pelican Cancer Foundation to enable prostate cancer patients to live better, for longer.

Nearly 50,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. For men, it is the second greatest cause of cancer death (over 11,000 every year).

The good news 
is that more than 80% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer will survive their disease for more than 10 years. This improvement in survival has tripled since 1980.

What we do:

  • Pelican Cancer Foundation supported early research into improved imaging (MRI) for diagnosis and the most precise treatment (focal therapy). The charity continues to support research studies in this area.
  • Locally in Basingstoke, we support the weekly prostate cancer multi-disciplinary team meeting by providing purpose-built space and facilities.
  • We aim to embed change throughout the NHS by running workshops for doctors and nurses to encourage wider use of new processes to give quicker and more accurate diagnosis.
  • Support our prostate cancer research so that all men can benefit from changes to the treatment pathway.

Prostate cancer asks men (and their families) to make very difficult decisions about their treatment journey. We want to make sure that all men get the best diagnosis and most precise treatment –  resulting in a better quality of life.

Key messages from the faculty

March 16, 2018 by pelicanadmin

IMPACT: 25th January 2019/Derby

Colorectal Liver Metastases

  1. All patients with colorectal liver metastases should be discussed in a specialist hepatobiliary MDT
  2. All patients should have the results of their assessment and follow up scans as swiftly as possible, ideally the same day, acknowledging the significant anxiety experienced by patients at the time of a scan
  3. Pre-operative chemotherapy should be given for the minimum number of cycles required to achieve resectability, to avoid chemotherapy-associated liver injury
  4. Any liver resection should be parenchymal-sparing, to preserve liver volume and allow further interventions for recurrent disease
  5. All resected patients should be entered into a CT surveillance programme. Patients whose liver metastases have disappeared with chemotherapy will require more intensive surveillance, for a longer period of time
  6. Molecular testing should be carried out prior to anti-EGFR treatment using an extended RAS panel (KRAS 12/13/59/61/117/146 and NRAS 12/13/59/61) and thought should be given as to which sample is most appropriate to test e.g. biopsy, resection, metastasis. Multiple blocks should be tested together from larger specimens to maximise the chances of finding a mutation.
  7. Mismatch repair status should be available in all cases either by immunohistochemistry or MSI, in line with NICE guidance DG27.

Colorectal Lung Metastases

  1. Criteria for consideration of pulmonary metastasectomy of colorectal disease: control of primary, radically treatable oligometastastic disease, resectable disease, sufficient pulmonary reserve, disease stability
  2. Favourable prognostic features in patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy: longer disease free interval (< 1 year vs. >3 years), number of metastasis, complete resection, lack of nodal involvement
  3. Factors of uncertain prognostic importance: CEA level, tumour doubling time, histopathological markers, re-operation
  4. Investigate the possibility of a primary lung cancer rather than metastasis. Tissue morphological diagnosis is required to interpret molecular biomarkers.

Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases

  1. Best outcomes: Limited disease PCI <20, favourable biology (differentiation, time to recurrence), response to adjuvant or neo adjuvant chemotherapy, complete cytoreduction
  2. Effective and regular communication is helpful with patients; between units; and between teams
  3. A clear understanding by patient and local teams that the pathway is often lengthy (approx. 3 months) requiring repeated investigations and assessments during which time interaction with key workers is essential

Locally advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer

  1. Management of locally recurrent CRC is an MTE – Massive Team Endeavour: Referring team and MDT; receiving team and MDT; CNSs; Medical and clinical oncology; Palliative care; Radiology; IR; Pathology; Anaesthetics; different surgical specialties; medical physics and radiographers
  2. No clear single model or pathway: Tailored to individual patients; anatomy, classification of disease, and circumstances
  3. General oversight by specialist MDT where possible
  4. Early review and discussion between the planned ultimate surgical team and patients and their family is encouraged

Palliative Care

  1. Significant numbers of patients will have a reduced life expectancy and problematic symptoms. A study in 2016 showed that the most frequent symptoms reported are Worrying 65%; Lack of energy 59%; Drowsiness 54%; Bloated 53%; Pain 51; Insomnia 50%; the most severe are problems with sexual interest & loss of appetite.
  2. A study in 2017 showed that patients perceive they have unmet needs. These are predominantly psychological: fear of spread; worry about family; lack of control; anxiety; uncertainty; death & dying; depression; keeping positive. Over 50% had at least one psychological need.
  3. MDTs will see benefit if palliative care colleagues are fully integrated members of their MDT and service. Consider referring patients to palliative care early if they have metastatic or locally advanced disease. This can occur alongside other treatment processes and patients respond well to seeing a Palliative Medicine consultant in a hospital clinic.

IMPACT: 21st March/Yorkshire

Palliative Care

  1. Significant numbers of patients will have a reduced life expectancy and problematic symptoms: Most severe symptoms = problems with sexual interest & loss of appetite
  2. Patients perceive that they have unmet needs: fear of spread; worry about family; lack of control; anxiety; uncertainty; death & dying; depression; keeping positive. Over 50% had at least one psychological need. Association between perceived need psychological distress & QoL
  3. When to refer for palliative care / enhanced supportive care: Early palliative care group had higher QoL at 14 weeks, less depression, more had documented DNAR order, less late (within 14 days of death) chemotherapy. Significantly longer median survival (2.7 months)

Colorectal Liver Metastases

  1. All patients with colorectal liver metastases should be discussed in a specialist hepatobiliary MDT
  2. All patients should have the results of their assessment and follow up scans as swiftly as possible, ideally the same day, acknowledging the significant anxiety experienced by patients at the time of a scan
  3. Pre-operative chemotherapy should be given for the minimum number of cycles required to achieve resectability, to avoid chemotherapy-associated liver injury
  4. Any liver resection should be parenchymal-sparing, to preserve liver volume and allow further interventions for recurrent disease
  5. All resected patients should be entered into a CT surveillance programme. Patients whose liver metastases have disappeared with chemotherapy will require more intensive surveillance, for a longer period of time
