USANZ in the Media

UTIs & Bladder Cancer

USANZ Member Sandra Elmer was recently interview by the ABC for an article about a patient with bladder cancer.

The patient, Casey-Lee Peters, was diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer, but her insurance company rejected her life insurance policy claim as Ms Peters failed to declare previous UTIs when filling out the paperwork.

Sandra spoke to the ABC in her role as Deputy Chair of the USANZ Female Urology Specialty Advisory Group. She noted there was no link between Ms Peter's UTIs and bladder cancer.

USANZ thanks Sandra for lending her expertise to this media coverage.
 

Prostate Cancer

There has also been ongoing media activity in the five weeks since USANZ issued a press release urging men under 50 to know their prostate cancer risk. 

This week, the Australian Associated Press published an article featuring a discussion with Weranja Ranasinghe on the topic of prostate cancer. Read the article online.
