Mater Hospital Advanced Cancer Care

#OurMaterTeam Dr Austin Duffy, Director of Research in START Dublin said: "Now that we have an early phase oncology clinical trials unit here in Dublin, we hope to offer patients access to new and promising drugs years before they might otherwise become available.”

#DYK #MaterHospital is the only centre to offer curative resection of all extracranial sites of metastatic disease, including Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy to patients with advanced colorectal, peritoneal and appendiceal cancer, and women with ovarian cancer?

It was great to see such a turn out for @TheMaterFoundat Marilyn's Mater Paddle on Sunday. A huge thank you to all involved.

Advanced cancer can mean many things and can also be called secondary cancer, late stage cancer, locally advanced cancer, metastatic cancer, stage 4 cancer, recurrent cancer or complex cancer.

Ahead of #InternationalNursesDay on Monday, #OurMaterTeam celebrated the exceptional work of our @MaterNursing team today. The world-class care provided to our patients would not be possible without the skill and expertise of our #Mater nurses.

To achieve our National Cancer Strategy target, to be within the top 25% of EU countries for five year survival rate for all cancers by 2026, we need to focus on advanced and metastatic cancer care. The five-year survival rate for metastatic cancer in Ireland is only 10%.

2/2 In October 2023, a landmark study highlighted the multidisciplinary surgical approach implemented by @donalb5, and gynaecological oncology experts at the #Mater improved the 3-year survival rate for women with advanced ovarian cancer by 70%. irishtimes.com/health/2023/10…

1/2 This month is #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth. The #Mater is home to one of the largest gynaecological oncology departments in Ireland and offers innovative treatments to patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Receiving a diagnosis of an advanced cancer is no longer a hopeless situation.

Breakthroughs in treatment options and surgeries over the past decade now mean that advanced cancer can be treated; the life and especially the quality of life, of a patient can be improved significantly, and even, on occasion, the patient can be cured completely.

On International Women's Week, we celebrate the remarkable women who make up almost three quarters of our workforce at the Mater Hospital. 💜 Happy International Women's Week to our incredible staff, patients, and community! 💜 #GenderEquality #MaterHospital #WomenInHealthcare

Stuart Haxell and Prof David Keegan were on @TodaywithClaire discussing a new development for the treatment of inherited ocular degeneration. After receiving the first ocular gene therapy treatment in IE at the #Mater, functionally blind patient Stuart is now able to read again.

#DYK The five-year survival rate for metastatic cancer in Ireland is only 10%? We need to improve our management of advanced and metastatic cancer through dedicated, specialised services.

Today is #WorldCancerDay🎗️This year's awareness theme is #unitedbyunique recognising that behind every diagnosis lies a unique human story - stories of grief, pain, healing, resilience, love and more. @MaterDublin @MaterCancer @MaterTransform #CancerAwareness #CancerCare
