Asian Fund for Cancer Research’s Post

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Australia Every year, 1,800 Aussie women and a quarter-million globally face the devastating diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If diagnosed at Stage I or Stage II, the survival rates are >90%, but if diagnosed late, survival is only 29% beyond 5 years As most cases are diagnosed in advanced stages, more awareness and research for early detection, and treatment are needed.

What is Barrett's Oesophagus? Barrett’s Oesophagus occurs when persistent or long-term acid reflux damages the normal inner lining of the oesophagus. Over time, the lining of the oesophagus is damaged, the cells change, and abnormal cells can develop. It is not cancer but a pre-cancerous condition known as Barrett’s Oesophagus. A small number of people (less than 1%) with Barrett’s Oesophagus go on to develop Oesophageal Cancer.

#Missioncancer topics are out, acknowledging the relevance of #1MG, #EHDS, and #EUCAIM initiatives and the need to bridge between them to deliver solutions to one of our greatest challenges. The call text mentions the relevance of European Research infrastructure ELIXIR and BBMRI-ERIC (building on available EU capacity and member states and EC investment in the last ten years), as well as ELIXIR coordinated and participating projects like the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI), European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM), EOSC4Cancer, canSERV, and HealthData@EU Pilot. As always, successful and long-term solutions only come from collaboration and cross-discipline approaches that allow for the participation of all actors.

Understanding cancer is ESSENTIAL if you want to prevent it! We're here to break down Myths vs Facts, today we're tackling the myth that breast cancer is only diagnosed in women over 50. While breast self-examination is an important part of breast cancer prevention, not all breast cancers can be detected through self-examination alone. Regular mammograms and clinical breast exams are also important for early detection. Join us in building a network of hope - you can help our mission by donating, volunteering, or sharing your story to help others going through a similar journey of their own. #fightcancer #earlyrecognition #ericvscancer #takeaction

Support Our Walk a 100-Miles in October for Cancer Research! 👟 We are proud to be participating in Walk a 100-miles 🚶♀️ in October on behalf of Cancer Research UK (CRUK). Collectively, our team is aiming to complete an incredible 1,000 miles—with extra doggie miles from our furry friends, Bertie, Esme, Cooper, Crumble, and Cindy! 🐕🦺🐕🐕🦺🐕🐕🦺 Our goal is to raise at least £1,000 for this vital cause. Here's how your donations can make an impact: ⭐£50 can buy special restriction enzymes used in cancer research. ⭐£150 could fund a day of clinical trials for the innovative iKnife, used in breast cancer removal surgery. ⭐£200 can fund a team of 10 cancer nurses for 1 hour of essential care. Throughout October, we’ll be sharing photos and updates as we make progress. Please lend your support by donating—every little bit counts, especially as we all know someone who has been touched by cancer. https://lnkd.in/e5jtQdZ3 Let’s walk together to help find a cure. 💪👟 #CancerResearch #Fundraising #Walk100miles #TogetherWeCan #SupportACure #HRPathUKWeCanDoIt
