Using apples to explain breast cancer and diving into the ethics of paediatric surgery, this session explores the personal and professional sides of saving lives. It’s a night of healing, from every angle.

Core Truths: using apples to explain breast cancer

A/Prof Amy McCart Reed (Associate Professor, University of Queensland)

Breast cancer is often referred to as though it is a single disease, but there are many different types. Amy will use apples as an analogy and explain what we know about breast cancer; what technologies we use to understand it and treat it; and what we need to learn in order to improve the lives of people living with breast cancer.

Primum quam minime nocere

Prof Craig McBride (Professor, University of Queensland)

Surgery is an odd profession. Surgeons ask permission to deliberately hurt you, with the hope of making you better. Why would you agree to that for yourself, much less for your children? Craig McBride discusses how a Paediatric Surgeon thinks of surgery.
