Every year, more than 38,000 Australians are diagnosed with a Below the Belt cancer. For many, it can be a challenging and uncertain time and they probably wont say they’re struggling. If someone doesn’t seem like themselves, trust your gut. Ask the question. Start the conversation. You don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes, simply listening can make a real difference. Find out how to get more and support for someone who might be doing it tough. https://anzup.org.au/useful-links/

Cancer comes with a language of its own. Words like metastasis, progression, staging and prognosis are hard to take in especially if you're diagnosed or caring for someone with a diagnosis.
We’ve created a simple cancer glossary to help you make sense of the words you may hear along the way. Understanding the language will help you ask the right questions. Feel more informed. https://anzup.org.au/glossary/

Palliative care is about more than end-of-life care. For people living with advanced cancer, palliative care can provide support at any stage of illness. This includes helping manage symptoms, maintain quality of life and support the emotional, social and practical needs of both people with cancer and those who are closest to them. Our latest blog explores what palliative care is, when it can help and what support is available and why accessing it earlier may make a difference.

Developed by Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) in collaboration with leading experts, peak bodies and consumers, the new 2026 guidelines replace those released in 2016 and provide an updated national framework for prostate cancer risk assessment, PSA testing and diagnosis.

What happens when a doctor swaps the clinic for Parliament?
In this insightful interview with the limbic, Dr Monique Ryan MP reflects on her journey from paediatric neurologist and medical researcher to federal politician, and how her medical background continues to shape her advocacy for healthcare, research and education.
One issue she has championed is the importance of investing in medical research. Through her Medical Research Matters campaign, Dr Ryan helped shine a spotlight on the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and the opportunity to unlock more funding for research that has the potential to improve lives and strengthen Australia's healthcare system. Medical research doesn't happen by chance, it requires investment, advocacy and a commitment to ensuring discoveries made in laboratories and clinical trials translate into better outcomes for patients. And we couldn't agree more! https://ow.ly/kw7H50ZmL64

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
