Multidisciplinary team meetings are now standard practice in the management of cancer patients.\u00a0 To allow pathologists to show relevant features of tumours during these meetings either photographs have to be taken and projected, or slides can be shown on a microscope with a video camera.\u00a0 Photographs only show a single area,\u00a0 but the new microscope with video camera can show any\/all areas of a slide that are required.\u00a0 Pathology can be shared, via videoconference and discussion, with other specialists such as radiologists.<\/p>\n

Fundraisers in front of new microscopeFunds to purchase the microscope were raised by a group of friends – each closely affected by cancer \u2013 who hosted a \u201cLive and Let Live\u201d bush concert earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

The group included patient Jurgen Ollwitz who has been treated for various cancers at Flinders over the\u00a0past 32 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know everyone at Flinders by first name and they know me,\u201d Jurgen, 60, says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve treated me so wonderfully and I wanted to pay them back.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy thinking is, if we give money and equipment to the right people, then one day the world might collectively get rid of this horrible disease which is affecting so many people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charity group \u2018The Grumpies\u2019 also held a movie night to help raise funds for the equipment.<\/p>\n

If you, or someone you know, is interested in fundraising for research or equipment at FCIC speak to the Flinders Foundation team on (08) 8204 5216 for more information.<\/p>\n
