Making History in Research

10/21/2024

The Menopause Priority Setting Partnership (MAPS) ran an historical workshop to identify gaps in research about menopause, as identified by people with lived experience and healthcare professionals. The process identified the Top 10 priorities for future menopause research. For more information about this research project please go to: https://obgyn.uchicago.edu/research/menopause-priority-setting-partnership

Women who have experienced menopause, together with health workers from the UK, USA and Australia, got to determine what topics and specific questions will be prioritised for research. As global collaboration it was incredible to participate and listen to women’s experiences of menopause. So empowering for women to contribute to research about their mind and bodies. Congrats to all involved in MAPS - Menopause Priority Setting Partnership.

Congrats to Louis Taffs and others for publishing their paper on the care needs of young adults with endometriosis

Cancer touches nearly every Australian, with one in two people facing a diagnosis by the age of 85. Around two in ten children diagnosed with cancer are now thought to carry a heritable cancer gene. The ripple effects reach far beyond the individual, impacting families, friends and entire communities.

Understanding your genetic cancer risk enables informed healthcare decisions. Wendy Berill, facing terminal cancer, shares her journey to emphasise the importance of genetic testing.
