Quoting The Cancer Elimination Collaboration (CEC), Sydney School of Public Health, University of Sydney’s post:
“Excellent article in today’s The Sydney Morning Herald about the new strategic framework for the BreastScreen Australia program, extensively quoting A/Professor Carolyn Nickson, head of our breast cancer research team.
Collaboration will be the key to fast-tracking the collection and analysis of evidence required to transition to risk-stratified screening, as intended in the strategic framework – and investment.
Accurate and prominent reporting will support engagement with the community, to help drive the agenda in an evidence-based context. We appreciate the work of senior health reporters like Kate Aubusson and Henrietta Cook to communicate the evidence and our advocacy for its implementation.”
