Cancer survivors helping to teach Australia's future doctors and nurses
In university classrooms across the country, gynaecological cancer survivors are sharing their lived experience with health professionals to improve understanding and reduce delays in diagnosis.
A new study reveals how an updated immune categorization approach can enhance recognition and treatment strategies in ovarian cancer. Precision immunology is reshaping how we fight this disease. #cancer #Immunotherapy #OvarianCancer #science #biology #health

#ovariancancer has seen some progress in treatment options, but #immunotherapy remains a challenge. New data sheds light on the problems and raises the question: is checkpoint-inhibition the best strategy? Or do we maybe need a better biomarker to select patients for immunotherapy? #Oncology #science #health #medicine #gynecology #cancer @chfloudas

#Scottish #comedian #JaneyGodley has died at the age of 63.
She had been receiving palliative care after living for a number of years with #OvarianCancer, which forced her to cancel her 'Why Is She Still Here?' tour in September.
Ms Godley was perhaps best known for her viral dubbed videos of #NicolaSturgeon's #Covid briefings during the #pandemic and her protest against #DonaldTrump's 2016 visit to #Scotland

The world's first vaccine for #OvarianCancer, being developed in the #UK, could wipe out the #disease, researchers have said.
Scientists at the University of #Oxford are creating #OvarianVax, a #vaccine which teaches the #ImmuneSystem to recognise and attack the earliest stages of ovarian #cancer.
#CancerResearchUK is funding the study with up to £600,000 over the next three years.
