Member Feature - Australian Gynaecological Cancer Foundation (AGCF)
November is cervical cancer month and we are honoured to introduce you to one of our members who is creating positive change in this area.
Our lady parts are precious gems, yet cancer research into our parts is hideously underfunded. But you can help! Meet Australian Gynaecological Cancer Foundation (AGCF) - the sole champion dedicated to advancing research across all eight gynae cancers.
Since its inception, AGCF has become a vital resource in the battle against cancers such as ovarian, cervical, uterine, and other less common forms, with a singular focus on creating lasting change for affected women.
At AGCF, the mission is clear: fund research that makes a tangible difference in treatment outcomes and survival rates while advocating for more awareness and early detection. By funding Australian researchers, the foundation ensures that the best minds in the country are working toward innovative solutions to improve women’s health.
Here's just a few ways they make an impact:
- Research and Innovation
AGCF funds leading-edge research into gynaecological cancers, working to develop new treatments and improve survival rates. Their dedication to funding Australian researchers ensures a local focus with a global reach, advancing knowledge in a critical area of women's health.
- Awareness and Advocacy
The Foundation is also committed to raising awareness of gynaecological cancers, supporting campaigns that educate the public on prevention, early detection, and treatment options. Through these efforts, AGCF strives to break the stigma surrounding these cancers and encourage more open conversations.
- Supporting Women
AGCF offers holistic support to women throughout their cancer journey, whether through educational resources or community initiatives. The foundation understands that beyond the physical, emotional support is vital for women navigating their diagnosis.
