NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 02/05/2025

On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Professor Clare Scott AM, ANZOG Chair, talking about Decades of critical underinvestment in gynaecological cancers have cost women’s lives – Now a once-in-a-generation initiative launches to drive urgently needed change. A landmark Gynaecological Cancer Transformation Initiative and report, released today, has confirmed that decades of critical underinvestment in gynaecological cancer research have had devastating consequences for Australian women and girls. The evidence-based initiative sets out a national research program to revolutionise the diagnosis, treatment, and care pathway for women with gynaecological cancers to improve survival rates and save lives. For nearly 20 years, gynaecological cancers have been among the most underfunded cancer types—despite being one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women. As a result, survival rates for these cancers have stagnated, with outcomes comparable to those of all cancers in 1975. Gynaecological cancers remain among the most lethal cancers for women today.
