Radiation Oncology: Targeting Cancer

Did you know that we run a national program of GP education evenings? It is important to provide GPs with information about radiation therapy and #cancercare treatment. Dr Lucinda Morris explains why. #radonc #TargetingCancer

#TargetingCancer is marking Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in November💜 Sadly, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every year. Brian Egan, from Sydney, was diagnosed with the disease in 2023 and successfully treated with an advanced #RadiationTherapy technique called #SABR. It is important that we use November to build awareness of pancreatic cancer globally and celebrate survivors like Brian. Read Brian's story👇 https://bit.ly/3AfPNuI #RadiationOncology

Are you a GP who has patients living with cancer? GPs play a crucial role at every stage in the management of a patient diagnosed with cancer. Targeting Cancer has a vast range of literature tailored to busy GPs to enhance their knowledge of radiation therapy as an effective treatment for almost all cancers, and for patient support.

#TargetingCancer has long campaigned for more accessible #RadiationTherapy treatment in regional and rural Australia. It's fantastic then to hear about a new cancer treatment centre at a regional #WesternAustralia hospital that has treated over 375 local cancer patients in just 18 months. We advocate for equity of access for all Australians and New Zealanders living with cancer, no matter where they live. https://ow.ly/JL2R50TW0kQ #RadiationOncology #CancerCare
