We recently joined European partners to launch the #EUCanScreen project along with our Irish partners in the Department of Health and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI). Cancer represents a significant portion of the disease burden in Europe, much of which is preventable. The EuCanScreen project is designed to address this challenge by supporting strategies and policies that aim to reduce the burden of cancer by improving early detection of cancer and achieving equity across the EU. Speaking from the event, our Chief Executive Fiona Murphy said “It’s exciting for Ireland to be involved in so many aspects of this important collaborative project. The goal is to promote accessible and effective screening in all European countries and to increase public awareness of the importance of early diagnosis to reduce cancer-related deaths. This is closely aligned with the objectives of our own strategy, Choose Screening, and we are keen to learn and to share our knowledge and expertise to help improve the efficiency of cancer screening programmes across the EU. “The project also provides us with an opportunity to foster closer cooperation with our European partners. We look forward to working with our partners to support equity, engagement, and promote operational excellence to enhance our ability to combat cancer. Together, we’re striving to save lives and improve the quality of care for our screening participants.” Read more about the project: https://lnkd.in/dmS4MV5A #ChooseScreening #EUCancerPlan #EU4Health

November is an important month for Olympus, marking Lung Cancer Awareness Month (LCAM). Throughout LCAM, Olympus is dedicated to raising awareness about lung cancer, a disease impacting millions around the world. While smoking is widely recognized as a major cause, other factors like pollution and genetics also contribute. One of the challenges with lung cancer is that it often remains unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage, making treatment more difficult. That’s why recognizing early signs, such as a persistent cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, is essential. Additionally as shared by the World Health Organization, screening those exposed to higher risk of lung cancer may dramatically improve survival rates if detected early. LCAM also emphasizes the importance of ongoing research. By supporting lung cancer research, we can strive for more effective treatments and improved outcomes for patients. This November, Olympus APAC is committed to spreading awareness. Let’s use this month to promote vigilance and work towards a future where lung cancer is preventable, detectable, and treatable for everyone at risk. #OlympusInAPAC #LoveForLungs #LCAM #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #ESG #CSR #APAC #CancerAwareness

I was honoured to join a recent event in Romania, together with our commited and decicated stakeholders from our country. “Transforming Cancer Care Together” was a great event bringing together healthcare, patient organizations, government and academia to discuss how we can collaboratively improve cancer care accross Europe. Our country has made a significant progress in cancer care and it is of outmoust importance of buliding its own National Cancer Plan, which aligns with essential aspects of the EU Beating Cancer Plan. Cancer affects not only individual health but also imposes substantial economic costs. Focusing on prevention and early detection is essential, as the costs of inadequate treatment can be substantial. To catch up on the European level, we must speed up our initiatives. Roche is dedicated to being a reliable partner, using our expertise to assist all national stakeholders in strengthening their cancer strategies. Through collaboration, we can implement effective solutions and enhance patient outcomes across Europe. Let’s unite to transform cancer care—NOW. #NationalCancerPlan #EUBeatingCancerPlan #CancerAwareness #RocheMacedonia Roche Macedonia Sasho Klekovski Igor G.

🎗️ June is National Cancer Survivor Month: a month to honour those affected by this disease. As the Hungarian League Against Cancer has pointed out on the occasion of World Cancer Day, "a healthy lifestyle and regular screening for cancer can significantly improve the long-term prospects of even "cured patients". They also stressed that if the disease is detected at an early stage, the chances of recurrence are much lower. Hence, attending screening not only impacts the immediate disease outlook but also has a positive long-term impact on patient survival and quality of life! 🧬 Colorectal Cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages when treatment options are limited. However, liquid biopsy tests have shown significant promise as minimally invasive, efficient early screening tools. Such a test is ColonAiQ, the ultrasensitive, blood-based CRC risk assessment test - available at Clinomics Diagnostics. 🩸 🌐  https://lnkd.in/dRQf2HcW #NationalCancerSurvivorMonth #ClinomicsDiagnostics #ClinomicsEurope #ColonAIQ 

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a global movement dedicated to educating and raising awareness about lung cancer. Did you know, in Australia, lung cancer is now the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer–with an estimated 15,100 people expected to receive a diagnosis of lung cancer in 2024.¹ Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow in part of the lung tissue and then continue to multiply in an uncontrolled way. ² To learn more, please click through to our blog post titled ‘Understanding lung cancer and its causes’. We take a closer look at lung cancer, its causes, and potential ways to help reduce the risk of developing the disease. https://lnkd.in/gAX_yy5r   #Lungcancer #ShineALight #lungcancerawareness #designingbettercare   1.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month to draw attention to the importance of lung cancer screenings. Many people assume lung cancer may only be a concern for those who smoke, but Doctors said that's not always the case. Various organizations come together during this month to conduct awareness campaigns and activities with the aim to educate people about the disease awareness, need for screening, risk factors, and preventive measures of lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the most serious health concerns that affects both men and women. Lung cancer was reported as the major (18%) cause of cancer related deaths, followed by the second highest with an incidence (new cases) rate of 11.4%.

As we commemorate Rare Disease Month, let’s shine a light on Thyroid Cancer, a condition that impacts families worldwide. At Caidya, we advance clinical research for this rare cancer, standing in solidarity with those diagnosed and their families.. This rare disease originates in the butterfly-shaped gland, the thyroid, which plays a crucial role in regulating heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and weight. In the US alone, about 44,020 cases are estimated for 2024, with women being three times more likely to be at risk. Thyroid Cancer is most commonly diagnosed in individuals between the ages of 35 to 50. Have you or someone you love been affected by Thyroid Cancer? Join us in aiding clinical research for this rare condition. Visit https://ow.ly/l1AT50QIrbt for more information on active clinical trials. Caidya is passionate about advancing treatments for rare diseases and supporting all patients.

NEWS: Lung Cancer in Women: Understanding the Increasing Risk This in-depth article published in News Medical (June, 3rd, 2024 - update) looks at how recent epidemiological data indicate that lung cancer is increasingly being diagnosed in women despite having been widely perceived as a disease that predominantly affected men. The report says: 'In fact, a large proportion of lung cancer cases are being diagnosed in non-smoking women, highlighting the importance of continued research in this area.' It further states: 'According to research, lung cancer diagnoses in women have increased by 84% in the last 43 years while decreasing by 36% in males, despite the fact that many of those women never smoked. In fact, women who have never smoked have more than twice the risk of developing lung cancer as males who have never smoked.'
