In Aotearoa every year,

- More than 7,200 cases of melanoma are diagnosed
- Around 300 people die from melanoma
- Men are twice as likely to die from melanoma

When melanoma is detected early, survival rates exceed 98% - therefore, understanding the melanoma stages and symptoms is important to ensure treatment and detection are sought as soon as possible.

If you're concerned about a mole, speak with your Doctor or skin specialist, or visit the Melanoma New Zealand’s Spot Check Van, which will be parked at our facilities this May. You can find the nearest location near you here: https://www.alleviaradiology.co.nz/melanoma-awareness-campaign

Early detection makes a lifesaving difference - you can donate online here: https://melanoma.org.nz/about-us/donate/

FYI: Melanoma spot check van schedules and operations are managed directly by Melanoma New Zealand, and are operated on a first-come, first-served basis. For schedules and enquiries, please call Melanoma New Zealand directly on 0800 463 526.

Did you know that New Zealand has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world?

Our biggest barrier in diagnosing and treating any form of gut-related disease is simply, silence. There are not enough conversations around symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and in partnership with The Gut Foundation, we want to change this.

At Allevia Radiology, we often check the bowel with a CT Colonography - a faster, smarter way to check what's happening in the gut. A CTC is an advanced, accurate scan used to detect bowel cancer and precancerous polyps. It’s safe, quick and less invasive than a conventional colonoscopy, using CT images and 3D views to focus on the large bowel.

If you are experiencing any changes in your gut, be sure to discuss any symptoms with your doctor. Together, you can decide if a CT colonography is right for you - your Doctor can then refer you to Allevia Radiology.

We are proud to announce our partnership with The Gut Foundation.

Did you know your gut is home to 70% of your immune system? It helps with a wide myriad of bodily functions, but when the system is out of balance, due to lack of sleep, poor diet, or stress, to name a few, it can set the stage for chronic illness, fatigue, allergies and more.

When you know what your "normal" feels like, it can be much easier to know when to speak to your Doctor about any symptoms you may be experiencing. The Gut Foundation offer an array of educational information that can help you get ahead of illness, boost performance, and learn the small, powerful habits that make a big difference in daily gut health.
