Imagine 1/3 of blood cancer deaths avoidable just by having timely accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment and care. Many drugs and treatments are already developed and used with significant success in other countries. For blood , and like many other cancers , they are not available in NZ. Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand has a Vision to Cure. But we must push forward with the goal on the way, to zero avoidable blood cancer deaths

Hello Linkedin colleagues and fellow pharma and healthcare professionals, I am glad to announce that NS Pharma Consultants has completed a year. On this occasion, I would like to highlight our achievements: As a part of our disease awareness program, we have tried to create awareness about blood cancer or leukemia and share information about its treatment options with pharma and healthcare professionals with the help of engaging content. As we engage in the leukemia awareness program, I would be glad to connect with fellow pharma and healthcare professionals to share their views as we delve into the topic. #Acutelymphocyticleukemia #Leukemiaawarenessmonth #Leukemia #bloodcancer

Our journey with cachexia was a challenging two-year battle. In 2019, my father was diagnosed with Myelodysplasia, a rare blood cancer, which was exacerbated by cachexia, and in the spring of 2022, he lost his fight against this life-threatening disease. Cachexia, a condition with no FDA-approved treatments, is often experienced by cancer patients, leading to decreased appetite and unintended weight loss, impacting their ability to tolerate treatment. The timelapse captured by the two pictures below symbolizes the rapid progression of cachexia within a short span of two years, highlighting the urgency to address this critical issue. At Pfizer, we look at understanding how GDF-15, a protein associated with cachexia may impact outcomes for individuals battling cancer. Together, we strive to deepen our understanding of cachexia and its complexities, aiming to pave the way for innovative solutions and improved outcomes for those affected by this life-threatening condition.

🌍 Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: A Time to Reflect and Act September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a critical time to raise awareness about a disease that affects millions of men worldwide. This month, we honor those who have been impacted by prostate cancer —patients, survivors, families, and healthcare professionals who work tirelessly in the fight against it.💐 Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, but early detection can make a significant difference in outcomes. Regular screenings, conversations with healthcare providers, and awareness of risk factors are essential steps that can save lives. 🧪 Let’s use this month to educate ourselves and others, support research, and encourage the men in our lives to prioritize their health. Together, we can help ensure that more men have the opportunity to catch this disease early and receive the care they need. #ProstateCancerAwareness #MensHealth #EarlyDetection #Healthcare

World Lung Cancer Day is observed on August 1st to raise awareness about lung cancer globally. It focuses on educating people about prevention, early detection, and treatment of this disease. #WorldLungCancerDay #LungCancerAwareness #FightLungCancer #LungCancerPrevention #LungCancerDay #LungHealth #CancerAwareness #BeatCancer #ZeenatLab

A truly shocking statistic 🤯 this was one of the key findings when we asked our supporters about their experiences of leukaemia diagnosis and treatment. Of the nearly 300 people who filled in our survey, 38% said they saw a GP three or more times before receiving a leukaemia diagnosis. This is unacceptable and we need things to change NOW. This is why we’re calling on the next government to publish a national cancer strategy within its first year which reflects the needs of leukaemia patients, including improvements in early diagnosis. Early diagnosis is key to saving and improving the lives of more leukaemia patients. We want to see: comprehensive early detection strategies, improved access to full blood tests, faster diagnostic pathways and proxy targets for non-stageable cancers, like leukaemia. 📝 Sign our open letter and join us in demanding better for leukaemia patients: https://lnkd.in/ec6UjgG7
