BREAST CANCER
Finding the holy grail
Professor Michael Samuel (centre) and his team are
focusing on the holy grail of cancer research – stopping
cancer cells from spreading around the body.
With your support, he has a five-year Breast Cancer
Research Fellowship to progress this important work within
the little-explored tumour-promoting 'microenvironment'.
Your donations helped change policy!
Telling women their breast density has
now been introduced in all BreastScreen
SA clinics, partly thanks to pioneering
breast density research supported by
The Hospital Research Foundation Group.
Dense breasts are common and normal,
however they do increase a woman’s risk
of developing breast cancer.
We know women’s lives will be saved
because of this – thank you!
