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

Today, 12 March, marks World Kidney Day, a global awareness day highlighting kidney health and the growing impact of kidney disease worldwide.

Kidney cancer is one of the more common cancers in Australia, over 4,800 cases were expected in 2025. Smoking and being overweight or obese are known risk factors that significantly increase the likelihood of developing kidney cancer. Whilst it can be difficult to detect early, signs to watch for include blood in the urine or a change in urine colour, persistent pain in the back or side below the ribs, ongoing fatigue, unexplained weight loss, fever not linked to a cold or flu, high blood pressure or anaemia. We reached out to Juliet de Nittis who joined ANZUP's UNISON clinical trial. Read more about her remarkable story https://ow.ly/Z9Ni50Yr0rB

To co-incide with International Women's Day yesterday, we sat down with our CEO Sam Oakes and several of our collaborators to talk about their career journeys into medicine and clinical research. At ANZUP we are so lucky to work with people like these. The people who are quite literally saving lives. Read what they have to say and the advice for any women out there wanting to follow their lead. https://ow.ly/t4xk50YqWiw

A simple blood test could help predict if testicular cancer will return. Early results from our CLIMATE trial suggest a new blood marker (miR-371) may detect tiny traces of cancer after surgery even when scans show no signs of disease. Around 1 in 4 people with early-stage testicular cancer experience recurrence within five years. For many young Australians, that uncertainty can be one of the hardest parts of recovery.

This research could help personalise follow-up care and identifying who may need further treatment sooner, and who can avoid unnecessary therapy.

Because improving survival is only part of the story. Reducing worry and helping people live well after treatment matters too.
