We have witnessed incredible advances in therapy since ALK was discovered in 2007, starting from the pivotal PROFILE 1001 study of crizotinib in advanced ALK positive NSCLC to present day where we now have five approved targeted agents, with increasing potency, selectivity and CNS activity with each successive generation of drug. Despite these advances in therapy, the emergence of treatment resistance in the TKI still remains one of greatest challenges in the clinic. Our TOGA podcast panel discuss the clinical and genetic factors affecting treatment choice, sequencing and resistance patterns, including oligoprogression and local therapy considerations. Dr Rebecca Tay, Medical Oncologist at Royal Hobart Hospital and ICON Hobart, is joined in this discussion by Professor Ben Solomon, Medical Oncologist at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre & Board member, Scientific Chair of TOGA and Associate Professor Michael Ng, Radiation Oncologist at GenesisCare St Vincents Hospital Melbourne and Head of Stereotactic Radiotherapy at GenesisCare Victoria.

Do we need to evolve the bar on evidence required for drug reimbursement? The gold standard endpoint for assessing the benefit of anti-cancer drugs has been overall survival (OS) however, more recently, there has been a trend toward using surrogate clinical trial endpoints such as progression free survival (PFS) and event-free survival (EFS). As treatments improve and patients are living longer, using OS as a primary endpoint can mean a longer time until a result is obtained. In this podcast, Dr Rebecca Tay, Medical Oncologist at Royal Hobart Hospital and ICON, discusses the critical role of improvement in quality of life in assessing drugs that are funded on the PBS, the nuances around clinical trial endpoints and the need for surrogate endpoints that accurately predict for OS and a reimbursement system that brings beneficial treatments to patients faster. Professor Nick Pavlakis, Chair of TOGA and Medical Oncologist at Royal North Shore Hospital and Genesis Care and Dr Deme Karikios, Immediate Past Chair of MOGA and Medical Oncologist from Nepean Hospital Sydney join the conversation. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2817337

Andrew Hickman is a Registered Nurse who is currently an educator in the Emergency Department at the Royal Hobart Hospital. After being diagnosed with Congenital Aortic Stenosis in 1987 at just 3 years old, Andrew then ended up having to have open heart surgery the same year. Followed by 3 more heart surgeries all whilst a young boy. Growing up in Launceston here in Tasmania, Andrew led a life of sport, fun and filled with activities all whilst quitting uni and feeling he had no real sense of direction or purpose in life. Eventually finding a passion for nursing (after his own experiences of having a heart condition), Andrew spent 14 years Nursing in Cairns before moving back to Tasmania in 2021. Andrew gave a fascinating insight into the world of frontline nursing in the middle of a pandemic. He shared some of the struggles he and his colleagues did and continue to face because of covid-19. We spoke about the trauma working in an emergency department brings to your everyday life, and how he prioritises self-care to look after his own wellbeing. Andrew also speaks about the special bonds that are forged when experiencing these challenges together in the nursing community – it was really uplifting to hear. Andrew is such a positive mover and shaker, determined to be his best and to simply bring everyone around him along for the ride. I also really loved Andrew's message around finding his purpose later on in life, and the way he lives life now to the absolute fullest. Thank you to Andrew, and everyone of his amazing colleagues he represented in this episode. We thank you all for your incredible resilience and important work you do. Enjoy!

Tasmania's bouncy castle tragedy has claimed a sixth life. Chace Harrison died in hospital yesterday afternoon. Nine children were on the castle when a gust of wind sent it 10 metres into the air, during year-end celebrations at Devonport's Hillcrest Primary School on Thursday. Two children remain in a critical condition in Royal Hobart Hospital, while another is in recovery at home. Australian correspondent Murray Olds told Tim Dower the small town of Devonport has been left reeling by the tragedy. “It's a small place, it's not a big community, and to have this number of young people just torn away from it, it's unimaginable the level of grief down there.” LISTEN ABOVE 

Welcome to the Thoracic Oncology Group of Australasia Podcast series. This TOGA Podcast focuses on Small Cell Lung cancer (SCLC) – a type of lung cancer with the poorest prognosis of any lung cancer. SCLC patients make up about 13% of new lung cancer diagnoses that are characterized by early & rapid spread with only modest progress in its treatment over the last decades. Immunotherapy continues to radically change the way we treat many types of lung cancer and today we explore what these treatments mean for the SCLC patient and the practical implications of using immunotherapies in the clinic. We also discuss future combinations and novel agents in clinical trial development.Our guests today include Dr Steven Kao, Medical Oncologist from the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse in Sydney Australia, Associate Professor Stephen Liu, Director of Thoracic Oncology & Director of Developmental Therapeutics at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Georgetown University and also Dr Rebecca Tay, a Medical Oncologist from the Royal Hobart Hospital in Tasmania, having recently completed a Clinical Research Fellowship at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.Thank you for joining us and also thank you to Roche for sponsoring this Podcast.Useful link: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fonc.2020.01074/full Disclaimer: The opinions, beliefs and viewpoints expressed by the various authors and participants contained in this message do not necessarily reflect the opinions, beliefs and viewpoints of TOGA or official policies of TOGA.

Isa Dreyer is a pain management specialist here in Tasmania and has also been an inspiring and close family friend of mine for many years. I have been on many short adventures with Isa and every time we are cruising the trails we find ourselves in deep discussion about her work. Pain, trauma and optimising wellness through adversity have become fascination areas of mine, and I was eager to share Isa’s wisdom and vibrancy with you on the Podcast. Despite her father’s traditional views of the role of the woman, Isa pursued her career, starting her impressive list of qualifications at a chiropractic school in Portland Oregon, USA, before moving back to Cape Town, South Africa to study a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy). Isa spent 3 years in the UK working as physiotherapist and while doing so, spent her holidays cycling and adventuring through Europe. Isa later furthered her studies with a Clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Boston University (2004-2006) and a Masters of Science in Medicine (Pain Management) at The University of Sydney (2013-2014). Isa moved to Tasmania in 2006, finding employment in a sports physiotherapy clinic whilst also working at Royal Hobart Hospital in the pain unit. In 2015, she started at Federal St Pain Clinic – a multi-disciplinary clinic with a small team including a psychologist, pain specialist and two other physiotherapists. Her depth of knowledge and desire to assist others through pain is profound. I learnt so much about the subject of pain from her during this short conversation. I hope you can too. Isa, thank you so much for taking the time to come onto the Find Your Feet Podcast and I know there is still so much we can learn from you! MAIN POINTS - Pain - why do we persist through pain? - How the importance of the goal can directly affect the intensity that we feel pain. - Trapped trauma – Mental and emotional associations with physical pain. - The memory of pain - How injuries can impact our perceptions of pain and even exacerbate pain. - The power of creating safe environments – methods to decrease pain output - Neurological mechanics – “pathways that wire together, fire together” - Biopsychosocial and holistic approaches to pain management and treatment - Lesser known influences that increase inflammation & pain in the body - Being driven by curiosity as opposed to the pressure and fear of missing out - How Isa practises rest, mindfulness and ‘quiet time’ (despite being a go-getter!) Isa has just been accepted to be a rider in next year’s Pain Revolution Ride that is happening in Tasmania in March 2019. “I am pretty excited that I was chosen, as there were 3x more applicants than riders. We are riding 700km in 8 days .The most important part of it will be educating rural and remote Tasmania about pain in the evenings, when we stop in the little towns.” As part of this, Isa has to raise $3000 as a local hero. All the funds will go directly into providing Tasmanian health care professionals with extra training and mentoring to provide better and more up to date health care for pain.

In this podcast, we listen to recording of a webinar with Marie Rauter, a paediatrician at the Royal Hobart Hospital, who presents a case and discusses the diagnosis of ADHD. Marie highlights the comprehensive assessment we, as GPs, can complete, and she outlines the management options she would consider as a paediatrician.

Recently Marie Rauter, a paediatrician at the Royal Hobart Hospital, presented a webinar to some of our first year registrars on “Developmental Delay”. It’s a big topic, but an important one for general practice, as we are often in a perfect position to detect developmental delay early and identify the cause, suggest corrective action, or refer for further assessment, services and support. Marie covered a wide range of presentations and considerations. We’re sharing one of the cases with you today. Listen to the audio file to hear the case discussion.
