    E25. Preventable, Detectable, and Rising: Unpacking Endometrial Cancer Rates in Aotearoa New Zealand (video)

    In this episode of Talking O&G: a RANZCOG Podcast, host Dr Cecile Bergzoll speaks with Dr Silipa Naiqiso and Dr Sathana Ponnampalam about the rising rates of endometrial cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand.   Cases of endometrial cancer are rising globally, and Aotearoa New Zealand has some of the fastest-rising rates in the world. However, there are significant barriers to care due to a lack of funding for areas such as diagnosis, molecular-directed care, and immunotherapy. Dr Naiqiso and Dr Ponnampalam examine these barriers, the strategies being developed to address the crisis, and advice for clinicians.   They explore the changing demographic of women impacted by endometrial cancer and the equity gaps that exist for Māori and Pacific women. Dr Naiqiso and Dr Ponnampalam stress the need for a public awareness campaign in addition to advocating for funding to improve access to diagnosis and care in Aotearoa.   🔗 Resources mentioned in this episode:  NZMJ: National and regional projections of gynaecological cancers in Aotearoa New Zealand: a projection model to 2045 highlighting an opportunity for collective action  ANZJOG: Increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand: Health professionals’ perspective  ANZJOG: ‘It's not a solution to keep telling me to lose weight!’ Exploring endometrial cancer survivors’ experiences of nutrition and well-being advice: A qualitative study  ANJZOG: Increasing incidence of endometrial carcinoma in a high-risk New Zealand community  Assessment and Management of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) in Non-Pregnant Women of Reproductive Age  📌 RANZCOG members can submit CPD at: https://shorturl.at/iq733   💬 If you found this episode valuable, please rate, review, subscribe, and share it with your colleagues.  RANZCOG acknowledges the need for more inclusive terminology for gender diversity.

    In this episode of Talking O&G: a RANZCOG Podcast, host Dr Vijaya Karanam speaks to obstetrician Dr Penny Sheehan, consumer Yvonne Maringa, and midwife Deborah Pidd about the vital role informed consent plays in everyday clinical practice.  They outline the fundamentals of the recently released signposting guideline Consent and provision of information to patients regarding proposed treatments (C-Gen 2). Dr Sheehan and Ms Pidd discuss the responsibilities of clinicians to ensure patients are informed, respected, and feel empowered to ask questions and engage in shared decision-making.

    In this episode of Talking O&G: a RANZCOG Podcast, host Dr Anna Clare speaks with Conj A/Prof Tania Day about gynaecologists' role in prevention of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma by identifying and treating vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and distinguishing these from benign squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL). They unpack the recently published 2026 International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD) terminology guide, on which Conj A/Prof Day was lead author.   The ISSVD terminology was last updated in 2015, and there have since been major advancements in the clinical understanding of VIN histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Dr Clare and Conj A/Prof Day examine these developments, outlining the new preferred terminology, as well as diagnosis, treatment, and follow up. They highlight the importance of consistent language to aid collective efforts in vulval cancer elimination.   🔗 Resources mentioned in this episode:  2026 International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD) terminology for vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia and squamous intraepithelial lesions  📌 RANZCOG members can submit CPD at: https://shorturl.at/iq733   💬 If you found this episode valuable, please rate, review, subscribe, and share it with your colleagues.  RANZCOG acknowledges the need for more inclusive terminology for gender diversity.
