We strive for excellence and quality in all we do. As part of our commitment to excellence, we’re focussed on finding the right fit for both job-seeker and employer. Dedicated Waikato breast specialist staff meet women at a very vulnerable time in their lives. Whilst dealing with a diagnosis of breast cancer there are difficult decisions for them to make about their treatment options. What treatments available to them is directly related to the evidence provided in clinical trials. This is why breast cancer clinical trials are so important, they provide every patient with the treatment choice that will give them the best chance of long-term cure. Without the women who agree to be a part of a clinical trial, better outcomes for future generations would not happen. When asked why breast cancer research is so important to her, Jo, a participant on one of the sentinel node biopsy trials says, “When you get cancer you suddenly discover so many women around you have been where you are about to go. My treatment and experience was all the more successful because of the research done by, and assisted by other women in my situation. So every bit you can do helps. Collectively it can be a pretty powerful thing. I like the aspect of being a part of something bigger”. For the last twenty years, Waikato Breast Cancer Research Trust researchers have been inspired by the courage and determination of many women who have enabled us to gain knowledge and are part of the journey of saving lives from breast cancer. Are you a business looking for a Waikato charitable trust to support? Consider making a difference and supporting women like Jo. In the Waikato, more than one woman every working day is diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s upwards of over 400 Waikato women a year (plus 2-3 men). These women are your grandmothers, whaea, mothers, aunts, sisters, wives, partners, workmates, friends and neighbours. The Waikato Breast Cancer Research Trust needs your support to enable clinical trials and research projects from the Waikato/Midlands Breast Cancer Patient Register, so that more women have a chance of cure. The Trust is not government funded and relies on the Waikato MISS LOU HAYES MB ChB FRCS Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon community for funding. See www.wbcrt.org.nz to see how you can help raise much needed funds for our Waikato breast cancer research programme.

If you are a woman and you are getting older, you have the two main risk factors for breast cancer. One of the best things we can do to improve outcomes from breast cancer is early detection. This is important for all women, but especially so for Māori women who are at even higher risk of developing breast cancer than non-Māori, and have over double the death rate compared to NZ European women. Research work supported by the Waikato Breast Cancer Research Trust has shown that Māori women with cancers detected through screening do just as well as non-Māori. Breast cancer cure in these women is high with 94% breast cancer survival at 10 years. Early detection saves lives Regular mammograms • A screening mammogram is the best method for the early detection of breast cancer in women with no symptoms. • We recommend women start having annual screening mammograms between 40-49 and then once every two years from 50 years (and up to age 80 – as long as women remain in good health). BreastScreenAotearoa is HAMILTON RADIOLOGY Offering unparalleled care and expertise Hamilton Radiology is the Waikato’s largest private medical imaging facility.

In most cases the changes will not be cancer. • Can detect breast cancer early, which means a very good chance of cure. • Can detect about 75 percent of unsuspected cancer in women under 50 and 85 percent in women over 50. • Cannot prevent you getting breast cancer and cannot always prevent death from breast cancer. • Are safe because only very small amounts of radiation are used in two-yearly screening. Be breast aware: You can examine your breast by looking at yourself in the mirror with your hands on your head. Changes in the breast to look out for and report to your doctor: • A new lump or thickening • Skin dimpling or puckering • Any change in one nipple, such as discharge that occurs without squeezing or a turned-in nipple • Or a rash or reddening or scalyness of the nipple While most lumps and other symptoms are not due to cancer, proper assessment is needed to determine this. If you see something different, see your GP for a check-up and get referred for appropriate further followup. More and more women than ever before are surviving a diagnosis of breast cancer thanks to early detection and more effective, safe and tailored treatments developed through research. Healthy lifestyle and reducing breast cancer risk: Physical activity (e.g. moderate exercise up to 3-5 hours per week), maintaining a healthy weight and eating a healthy diet, are all factors that help with reducing breast cancer risk, and reducing risk of recurrence for those who have had a breast cancer diagnosis. There are many other benefits to healthy lifestyle including improved general health, increased vitality, and enhanced wellbeing. Specialising in all of your real estate needs.
