“Unremarkable” is a word you want to hear during a breast cancer examination. And today, I was lucky enough to be “unremarkable”. Women I love have been affected by this unforgiving disease and the more we talk about it, the more we can bring it out of the shadow and into the light of discussion. Organizations that actively support awareness campaigns, demonstrate consideration for the women in the workforce. Get yourself checked! Be unremarkable! #breastcancerawareness #womenshealth #corporatehealth #wellbeing

Regular breast screenings save lives, yet women with intellectual disability often encounter barriers to this essential service. With cancer as a leading preventable cause of death, researchers must advocate for improved healthcare support and accessibility. Our participant, Susan Adrian, was featured in a recent podcast about breast screening with ABC news. Susan, 69 years old, shares her thoughts on the importance of breast screening, her experience of getting a breast screening and emphasising its role in preventing breast cancer. Women with intellectual disability can find it particularly difficult to access the screening because the process isn't always accessible.

This inspiring 2D #animation campaign spreads a vital message: early detection is key to successful treatment.

If you notice any changes, don’t delay—get checked right away. Help spread the word and save lives! #BreastCancerAwareness #breastcancer #LOVECampaign #loveyourself #earlydetectionsaveslives #checkyourboobs #armpitstoo #selfexam #lifeaftercancer

People often think breast cancer only affects middle aged women, but minorities are at risk too. I may not be a female, young, black, trans, or menopausal, but I stand with every one of those communities. We all deserve awareness, representation, and support. I’m just a dull white guy… but yes, we can get breast cancer too. Let’s keep breaking the stigma and spreading the word for everyone at risk. #MaleBreastCancer #BreastCancerAwareness #RepresentationMatters #SupportEachOther #breakthestigma #bcam #breastcancerawareness

Excited to share insights from an important blog posted by our partners, the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), authored by Dr. Matejka Rebolj and Jane Rigney at Queen Mary University. They highlight the critical role of patient advocacy groups (PAGs) in achieving the goal of eradicating cervical cancer worldwide. Recently, a PAG event convened by Hologic brought together leaders from Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Spain, Hungary, Netherlands, Switzerland, Turkey, the US, and the UK, emphasizing the importance of global collaboration. Key points:  ➡️ Patient advocacy groups are indispensable in driving political and societal commitment to achieving this historic goal.  ➡️ Collaboration across borders is essential, requiring coordinated efforts among healthcare professionals, scientists, policymakers, and local communities. ➡️ Many countries are actively implementing strategies to eradicate cervical cancer, underscoring the potential for a world without this devastating disease. Explore the full blog post to understand how collaborative efforts are shaping global strategies against cervical cancer: https://ow.ly/3y5B50SHz5V Together, let's work towards a future where cervical cancer is no longer a threat. #BetterTogether
