Breast Cancer remains the most common cancer
among Australian women.

89 out every 100 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer
now surviving five or more years beyond diagnosis.

Tests to diagnose breast cancer may include:

Mammogram: A mammogram is an X-ray that can find changes that are too small to be felt during physical examination.

Ultrasound: If a mammogram picks up breast changes you may have an ultrasound. This is a painless scan using sound-waves to make a picture of your breast.

Biopsy: A doctor removes some of the breast tissue for examination under a microscope.

Other scans – If cancer is detected in your breast, you may have other scans to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body; such as a CT scan or MRI scan.
*Those with dense breast tissue or augmentation can now also benefit from a 3D mammogram improving detection rates.

Heart Disease Overview

• Heart disease remains the single biggest killer of all Australians
• Cardiovascular disease kills approximately 1 Australian every 12 minutes
• Cardiovascular disease affects one in five Australians, or 4.2 million people
• Cardiovascular disease costs Australia around $12 billion in healthcare spending every year

Heart disease refers to a range of conditions that affect your heart. There are many types of heart disease, including coronary artery disease (heart attacks, heart muscle disease), heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias), as well as congenital heart defects which are present at birth. Heart conditions that manifest later in life may be inherited or acquired. However in all cases, a combination of both genetic and environmental factors contribute to heart disease. The words “heart disease” are often used interchangeably with the term “cardiovascular disease”. Cardiovascular disease includes heart as well as circulatory conditions, such as stroke. Keep in mind, all heart diseases are cardiovascular diseases, but not all cardiovascular diseases are heart disease.
