Australian Women's Health Diary 2026

About the Author

Breast Cancer Trials, a medical research charity, is a group of world-leading breast cancer doctors and researchers based in Australia and New Zealand committed to finding better treatments and prevention for people affected by breast cancer through clinical trials research. In Australia, 56 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every day, and tragically, eight women lose their life to breast cancer. It's estimated that one in seven women in Australia will be diagnosed by the age of 85, and it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian women. The impact on individuals and their families can be devastating. Breast cancer clinical trials research is urgently needed to identify more targeted treatments to ensure every person gets the treatment they need to survive.
