QIMR Pankind Collaboration - Professor Rachel Neale

The Early Detection collaboration project led by QIMR Berghofer is an Australian-led international research collaboration with a specific focus on early detection of pancreatic cancer, involving over 13 groups of scientists, clinicians and policymakers in Australia, New Zealand and the US. Professor Rachel Neale, Head of the Cancer Aetiology and Prevention Laboratory at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, is the Principal Investigator for an exciting new approach to pancreatic cancer detection. “Unfortunately screening all Australians for pancreatic cancer is not a viable option. Instead, we are looking to identify who is most at risk of pancreatic cancer and to determine whether monitoring this group would lead to better outcomes. Hopefully that will enable us to detect and treat pancreatic cancer earlier and learn more about the disease. To do this we will be linking the national data of thousands of patients who had pancreatic cancer over the last 15 years. We will use sophisticated machine-learning methods to predict people’s risk of pancreatic cancer. By making the most of existing data we can hopefully understand more about the disease faster,” says Professor Neale. This project also focuses on reducing delays in diagnosis in general practice. Many patients and families tell stories of a distressing journey to diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It is important that the extent, causes, and consequences of this are quantified, and that patients and general practitioners are supported to ensure prompt diagnosis. ################ We need a breakthrough in early detection to increase survival rates. Pankind has invested over $7.6m in high-calibre research. Critically we are the FIRST early stage funder, the lead investor in innovative projects, other funders then follow our lead and invest . https://early-detection-2021.raisely.... https://pankind.org.au/donate/ Help us triple the survival rate by donating so we can continue funding projects like the Pancreatic Cancer Early Diagnosis Group which focuses on detecting pancreatic cancer earlier, BEFORE symptoms develop so they have a greater chance of survival. PanKind are able to identify the most promising projects because our independent Scientific advisory panel is made up of globally recognised scientific and medical experts, who are responsible for assessing our research investments. ################ CONNECT WITH US WEBSITE: https://pankind.org.au/ FACEBOOK:   / pankindfoundation   TWITTER:   / pankind_apcf   INSTAGRAM:   / pankind_apcf   LINKEDIN:   / pankind   YOUTUBE:    / @pankindaustralianpancreati1661   ################ About PanKind PanKind, The Australian Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, is the only Foundation in Australia exclusively dedicated to pancreatic cancer, with a mission to dramatically increase survival rates and quality of life for those impacted by the disease.
