Description
In this talk we will invite the audience to walk with us along the path we have taken over the last 20 years, exploring the reasons why Aboriginal people can experience poorer outcomes when they develop cancer. From there we discuss our search for solutions; cultural, biological and medical, looking at how both improving and personalising our approach to the individual person and the services we build for them may overcome the problems uncovered.
Starting with improved cancer prevention, the talk will move to screening issues and their possible remedies, then on to optimising cure in people with early cancer and finishing with ways to give people with advanced cancer the best quality and quantity of life possible.
We will also speak about areas where Aboriginal people fare better than the rest of the Australian population and finish by outlining Western-Australia wide initiatives that may deliver the solutions described to all.
