Many people are surprised to find that nerve pain, tingling, numbness or discomfort can continue long after chemotherapy treatment has ended. Known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), these symptoms can affect mobility, independence and everyday life. Join this upcoming webinar from VCCC Alliance to learn about new research exploring a non-drug approach to managing persistent nerve pain after chemotherapy. Researchers will share findings from the TMaC Study, which investigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), along with insights from people living with neuropathy after cancer treatment. 💙 This webinar may be particularly relevant for anyone experiencing ongoing nerve symptoms after treatment or wanting to learn more about emerging supportive care options. 📅 Monday 19 October 2026 ⏰ 1.00pm to 2.00pm AEDT 💻 Online and free to attend 🔗 Learn more and register ❓Have you experienced neuropathy or lingering side effects after treatment?

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in breast cancer research, and this upcoming online Breast Cancer Grand Round explores how AI could help personalise breast cancer screening in the future. 💗 Presented by A/Prof Davis McCarthy, this session will discuss the BRAIx risk score, an AI-based tool developed using BreastScreen Victoria mammograms to help predict a woman's current and future breast cancer risk. Researchers found the tool was a strong predictor of intermediate-term breast cancer risk and may help support more personalised, risk-based screening approaches. 📅 Wednesday 7 October 2026 🕐 1:00pm to 2:00pm AEDT 💻 Online 🎯 Mainly aimed at clinicians and researchers, but suitable for anyone interested in the future of breast cancer detection and screening. As technology continues to evolve, research like this is helping explore new ways to identify risk and improve breast cancer outcomes through more tailored screening pathways. 💕 🔗 Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/bcgr-featuring-aprof-davis-mccarthy-tickets-2000232079996 Have you heard much about the use of AI in breast cancer screening and diagnosis?

As cancer research continues to evolve, there is growing interest in making cancer prevention and screening more personalised. This upcoming online session from the VCCC Alliance will explore how emerging approaches to cancer screening can better serve people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, helping ensure that advances in cancer prevention benefit everyone. The webinar will examine cancer screening using polygenic risk scores (PRS) and discuss why diverse communities are often underrepresented in the research that informs these approaches. Speakers will share practical strategies for improving participation, reducing barriers to access, and creating cancer research and screening programs that are more inclusive and equitable. For people affected by breast cancer, equitable access to prevention, screening and early detection is an important part of improving outcomes across all communities. This session may be of interest to anyone passionate about making cancer care and prevention more accessible and inclusive. 💗 🗓 Date: 21 September 2026 ⏰ Time: 1:00pm to 2:00pm (AEST) 💻 Where: Online 👉 Register for the webinar here Have you experienced barriers to accessing breast cancer information, screening or support because of language, culture or location?
