ANZUP

Today is World Kidney Cancer Day, a global day dedicated to raising awareness of kidney cancer and supporting those affected by the disease.
This year's theme, Kidney Cancer and Emotional Wellbeing, highlights an often-overlooked part of the cancer experience. Research shows that 85% of people diagnosed with kidney cancer face emotional wellbeing challenges, yet many don't talk about how they're feeling with family, friends or their health care providers. A cancer diagnosis affects more than just physical health. It can impact confidence, relationships, mental health and overall quality of life.
At ANZUP, we know that improving outcomes means looking beyond treatment alone. Through research, clinical trials and supportive care initiatives, we're working to ensure people affected by kidney cancer receive the care and support they need to live well.

Did you know that nearly 29,000 Australian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. Yet too many men are still unsure about what to look out for and understand the importance of early detection and timely access to treatment and support. Our friends at PCFA are conducting a short survey to better understand community attitudes toward prostate cancer awareness, PSA testing, early detection, and access to care. The survey takes less than two minutes to complete. https://pcfa.tfaforms.net/f/mens-health

Today is Clinical Trials Awareness Day which is a chance to recognise the people, researchers and communities helping change the future of cancer care through research.
At ANZUP, we’re proud to have delivered:
39 clinical trials with more than 10,000 participants at 298 sites around the world
As an independent cancer trials group, ANZUP supports innovative research ideas including those that may not otherwise receive government or industry funding. Because the breakthroughs that change lives often begin with bold ideas and collaboration.

Together, we are improving outcomes for people affected by Below the Belt cancers and moving closer to a future where people can live life without fear of cancer.

May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month 💙

One simple message: don’t ignore the signs.
The most common symptom is blood in your urine (even if it’s painless). If you notice it, see your doctor. While not all symptoms mean cancer, early action matters. And thanks to clinical trials, treatment options are improving making them more effective, easier to tolerate, and more accessible for patients.

You may be surprised to know that Testicular Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian people with testicles under the age of 40 years?
Testicular Cancer Awareness Month occurs every April in Australia and is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of early detection and regular self-examinations. The good news is that it's highly treatable when caught early, with survival rates exceeding 95%. Learn more about the signs and symptoms https://ow.ly/mXww50YJiPs
