Primary Focus | Edition 26
The latest edition of Primary Focus, our quarterly Queensland medical community publication, is live now!
In the October edition, we recognise and farewell the career of Mater breast and endocrine surgeon Professor Chris Pyke, who is retiring from private practice after treating more than 10,000 patients diagnosed with breast cancer over a 40-year tenure.
We also share warnings on an expected surge in endometrial cancer rates by 2040, and the urgent need for syphilis screening to combat an outbreak of the disease across Queensland.
There’s a new sMater podcast series on GP Shared Maternity Care, sharing the latest research and treatments relevant to general practice, and we delve into new laser technology used in an Australian-first surgery to remove multiple brain tumours.
