Did You Know? Cancer affects everyone, but not equally. Alarmingly, more African women are impacted by this disease than any other women from any other continent. In many African countries, the harsh reality is that 60-70% of women receive a breast cancer diagnosis at a late stage, and only 5 in 10 women diagnosed are likely to survive for five years.¹  It shouldn’t be this way. Take charge of your health! Every 30 days, spend just 5 minutes doing a Breast Self-Exam. If you notice a lump, thickening, swelling, pain, or any changes in your breast, make an appointment with your doctor. Remember, the earlier you act, the better your chances. 4 in 5 women CAN ✅ survive with early detection.² References:  1. https://lnkd.in/e_Y2-AkU WHO XIV executive summary 2.

April is Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month – a time to spotlight a disease that remains lesser known, despite its significant impact.  In 2022 alone, an estimated 1,725 Australians were diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, according to Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) data. Unlike some other cancer types, in Australia there is no standard screening for oesophageal cancer. This means that many people present with an advanced disease.    John was shocked to be diagnosed with Stage III oesophageal cancer at 46, after experiencing swallowing difficulties. John is sharing his story to help others navigate the physical and mental challenges of oesophageal cancer diagnosis, treatment and life after.     #BMSAustralia, in collaboration with Pancare Foundation and people like John, aim to support those affected by oesophageal cancer with resources that “pull back the curtain” on living with this disease.     Watch to hear John’s experience and visit Pancare Foundation to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ghaQPUwu

Today is World Cancer Day, a time to raise awareness and educate people on cancer and what we can do to create a world where millions of preventable cancer deaths are saved. While we live in a time of awe-inspiring advancements in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, many of us who seek cancer care hit barriers at every turn. Income, education, geographical location and discrimination are all factors that can negatively affect care. That's why this year's theme is all about understanding and recognising the inequities in cancer care around the globe. Let's #CloseTheCareGap so more people can receive the care they deserve. #worldcancerday
