Simply Oncology
Welcome to Simply Oncology.
Cancer is daunting for both patients and for clinical teams.
Dr John McGrane and Dr Michael Rowe are oncologists who want to break down the complex parts of cancer care into clear and simple sessions.
We will dive deep into the world of cancer research, patient stories and the latest cancer breakthroughs.
Simply Oncology will have patient focused episodes along with episodes that allow anyone with an interest in oncology to stay up to date.
We hope you join us as we unpick all parts of cancer.

Episode 61: Fundamentals - Demystifying the Language of Oncology Letters with Dr Anthony Cunliffe
How we communicate is so important in all aspects of medicine.
In this special 2 part episode we look at demystifying the Language of Oncology.
Our letters go to GPs and patients and we speak to Dr Anthony Cunliffe who is the medical lead for Macmillan Cancer Support and a practising GP.
If you are GP or acute medic who treats cancer patients or a patient with access to your letters this is a MUST LISTEN.
Also those of us oncologists wanting to make our letters useful for GP teams there is a a LOT to learn!
We try and explain the meaning behind the letters.
He takes us to task about parts of our oncology letters that would be more useful for GPs and patients.
