Madeleine Philippe Cancer Foundation (Aus) Inc
"So that we may help others and save lives".
Raising breast and ovarian cancer awareness through sharing knowledge and experience.
Statement of Purposes
- To increase awareness for the early detection of breast and ovarian cancers;
- To advocate and raise funds for hereditary, breast and ovarian cancer research;
- To offer support for persons with hereditary breast and ovarian cancers and
- To offer support to families and persons touched by breast and ovarian cancers.
This foundation was established by
Madeleine Philippe and Clancy Philippe in 2009, to assist persons
and families affected by breast and ovarian cancers.
It came about after Madeleine won her battle with breast cancer in 2007 and ovarian
cancer in 2009, and to share Madeleine and Clancy's experience with
others. Unfortunately, secondary breast and ovarian cancers struck back in
2010 and 2011. Madeleine passed away at 3.23 am on 11 February 2011.
Early Diagnosis can mean the difference between life and death.
The family characteristics that suggest hereditary breast and ovarian cancer predisposition include the following:
- Multiple cancers within a family.
- Cancers typically occur at an earlier age than in sporadic cases (defined as cases not associated with genetic risk).
- Two or more primary cancers in a single individual. These could be multiple primary cancers of the same type (e.g., bilateral breast cancer) or primary cancer of different types (e.g., breast cancer and ovarian cancer in the same individual).
- Cancers typically occur at an earlier age than in sporadic cases (defined as cases not associated with genetic risk).
