Did you know that the chance of surviving breast cancer for at least five years has increased from 78% in 1994 to 93% in 2020?1 Most breast cancers can be treated successfully, especially if detected early. Early detection and diagnosis significantly increase the chances of effective treatment and positive outcomes. Knowing your risk factors, staying aware of any changes, and maintaining regular screenings are essential steps for proactive breast health. If you're worried about your risk of getting breast cancer or any concerning symptoms you may have, we suggest contacting your GP or Specialist today.

The event was specifically tailored for local nurses, providing invaluable insights into advancements in oncology and the prevention and treatment of skin toxicity associated with cancer therapy. It was a great opportunity for nurses to enhance their understanding of oncology treatments and guidelines for managing skin toxicities as well as improve their practice.

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) has gained significant media attention over the past few years due to advances in its precision and effectiveness. SRT and SABR (Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy), a specialised form of SRT, specifically target tumours with high doses of radiation therapy, while limiting the dose to surrounding healthy organs, minimising the risks of side effects (1,2). Learn more about SABR and its use as a radiation therapy treatment for certain cancer types: https://lnkd.in/gUQDnSsy #designingbettercare #cancercare #radiationtherapyReferences: 1.

Meet Mike Smith, our Network and Telecom Manager. Mike joined the GenesisCare family 13 years ago and has been an integral part of our growth and innovation. When speaking to Mike, he said it’s hard to pinpoint one career highlight however mentioned being involved in new sites and acquisitions is something he really enjoys. In particular, he recalls that during the opening of the Wide Bay centres, at Bundaberg and Fraser Coast, there was a real sense of team comradery to get these sites open in record time. Recently, Mike had to face his own cancer journey and has since joined the GenesisCare Consumer Representative Panel. This has enabled him to give invaluable insights from a patient perspective. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and Mike is committed to shedding light on prostate cancer in the hope that it is not perceived as only an “old man’s disease” and that all men prioritise regular screenings, and educating themselves, plus friends and family about risk factors. Mike is a motorbike enthusiast, proud father of three daughters, a volunteer surf life saver at Maroubra, and due to his involvement in our new centre’s, claims to know more about concrete density and tolerance levels than he ever thought he would need to know! #Humansofgenesiscare #prostatecancerawarenessmonth #prostatecancer #designingbettercare
