Inside the Consumer Advisory Panel: The Importance of Putting Patients First

Women and Men have played an important role in the development and conduct of the Breast Cancer Trials research program for many years. Not only was the Consumer Advisory Panel (CAP) the first committee of its type in Australia, but it has also become a model for other research groups to involve consumers.

In this podcast, former Chair of the Breast Cancer Trials Consumer Advisory Panel, Leonie Young, explains the role that CAP plays to ensure a consumer perspective is provided from the very early planning stages of a breast cancer clinical trial.

Neoadjuvant Therapy: What is it and When is it Used?

Neoadjuvant therapy refers to treatment before surgery, and it aims to shrink the breast cancer in size to increase the chance of breast-conserving surgery and to monitor the effect of treatment on the tumour.

In this podcast, Professor Prue Francis, Former Chair of the Breast Cancer Trials Scientific Advisory Committee, explains the potential benefits of neoadjuvant therapy and why it's been increasingly used in breast cancer research.
