Neuroendocrine Cancer Day

Victoria Bridge will be lit Blue and Teal to support Neuroendocrine Cancer DayNeuroendocrine Cancer (NET) Day aims to increase public awareness about neuroendocrine cancers, which are diagnosed in one Australian every 90 minutes, with incidence rates on the rise, making this little known, poorly understood disease Australia's 7th most commonly diagnosed cancer. By lighting up Brisbane landmarks, NECA seeks to draw attention to the challenges faced by NET patients, Due to the vague symptoms mimicking other conditions 50% of patients are misdiagnosed, with 60% diagnosed at stage four (when the disease is no longer curable) This campaign aims to raise awareness to of NETs to encourage and enable early detection, so there is more chance of a cure and ultimately save lives. This Light Up is organised by: Neuroendocrine Cancer Australia
