The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPAAnnual Report 2012

Help us engineer a future without cancer

Chris O’Brien was a man of leadership, vision and courage. He inspired people, both through his work as a cancer specialist and through his own three year battle with an aggressive brain tumour.

Chris transformed his personal adversity into a national opportunity, using his experience to fight so much harder for cancer patients and their families. Chris’ vision was for an integrated cancer treatment centre so that patients would no longer have to navigate their way through all the different elements of dealing with their illness alone. His vision will be realised with the opening of The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA in 2013.

Born in 1952, Chris grew up in the western suburbs of Sydney and was educated at Marist Brothers Parramatta and went on to study medicine at the University of Sydney, graduating in 1976. After completing his residency and surgical training at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney (RPAH), Chris specialised in head and neck and completed clinical fellowships in England and the USA before returning to Australia in 1987 to join the staff at RPAH as a consultant head and neck surgeon.

There he contributed to the expansion of the clinical service, making it one of the largest in the country and also established a basic research and international clinical fellowship program under the Sydney Head and Neck Cancer Institute, which he founded in 2002.

Chris O’Brien held two postgraduate degrees from the University of Sydney – a Masters of Surgery for his basic research in microvascular surgery and a Doctorate in Medicine for his internationally recognised work on the management of metastatic cancer involving the parotid gland and neck, particularly cutaneous melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. He was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and in 1998 founded the Australian and New Zealand Head and Neck Society, a multidisciplinary society comprising cancer surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists and allied health professionals.

In 2003 Professor O’Brien became Director of the Sydney Cancer Centre, based at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Director of Cancer Services for the Sydney South West Area Health Service. He developed a proposal to transform the Sydney Cancer Centre into a $230 million world class comprehensive cancer centre – Lifehouse at RPA – and the project was officially launched by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in April 2009. The now named Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA will open its doors in 2013.

After his own diagnosis with an agressive brain tumour Chris maintained a positive and confident outlook, undergoing numerous operations and a variety of treatments including complementary therapies to ease the symptoms and side effects he was experiencing. He continued to work tirelessly on the promotion and future construction of an integrated cancer centre (Lifehouse at RPA) which would focus on the needs of, and support cancer patients, their families and carers.

THE CHRIS O’BRIEN LIFEHOUSE AT RPA ANNUAL REPORT 201204

The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA will be a world-class cancer treatment and research facility providing integrated care and support services to public and private patients, located on the Royal Prince Alfred/Sydney University campus at Camperdown, Sydney.

The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA will integrate clinical care, research, education and integrative therapies, creating opportunities for innovative discoveries, compassionate holistic care and better outcomes for patients, their families and carers.

Worldwide, Integrated Cancer Centres are recognised as the ideal delivery model for optimal cancer care providing the best possible outcomes for today, support for survivors, and hope and advances for the future through research and education.

Cancer kills 43,000 Australians each year, the single largest cause of premature death. Earlier diagnosis and better treatments have already saved thousands of lives but have also created a need for support and assistance for survivors of cancer.

The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA is an independent not-for-profit public benevolent institution. Income will be re-invested to continually innovate and improve services and focus on the delivery of cancer care and research for the benefit of all Australians and the education of the next generation of clinicians and researchers.

The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA will transform cancer treatment for Australians through an environment thriving on discovery, research and uncompromising care.

THE CHRIS O’BRIEN LIFEHOUSE AT RPA ANNUAL REPORT 2012 05

It gives me great pleasure to present the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA Annual Report for the 2011-12 Financial Year.

Work on The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA really accelerated in the earlier part of the financial year with a new section of tunnel between RPA and the Radiation Oncology building being completed and excavation finishing at the end of July 2011.

I am delighted to announce that the construction of the 43,500metre square Lifehouse centre has now commenced and that construction firm Brookfield Multiplex was awarded the $142 million building contract in August. The nine story complex is on track for completion in 2013. Despite Sydney experiencing an extremely wet summer Brookfield Multiplex has made significant progress with the construction of the facility to ground level completed by May.

The design of Lifehouse, by architecture firm Rice Daubney, has been shortlisted in the 2011 World Architecture Festival awards in the Future Projects Health category. Lifehouse has been designed with natural ventilation, using maximum natural light through atriums. The Centre has a low carbon footprint, with recycling initiatives underway for water, heat and waste.

As we work towards opening we have started to fit out the new Centre with services required to run a facility of this size, like the installation of a trigeneration plant. Designed so we can use energy as efficiently as possible, the plant is one of the first of its kind in Australia. To give you an idea of the scale, we estimate spending around $2 million on water, gas and electricity each year and that is with a 4 Star Green Star raring, which is very rare in health facilities.

With the new facility works now tendered and underway, there is an increased focus on the organisational design of Lifehouse and its culture. These aspects of Lifehouse are every bit as, if not more, important than the physical facility. We will have up to 400 staff working at Lifehouse and we want to make sure they feel passionate about the organisation and proud to be a part of it. Bringing innovation and research together, in a supportive working environment and culture, Lifehouse will be a place where shared learnings mean greater care for all patients and their families.

Staff at the Sydney Cancer Centre, including Radiation Oncology, continue to devote their time to all aspects of planning the new Lifehouse organisation and culture, and we are extremely appreciative of their magnanimity.

I am really proud to be leading the Lifehouse team in the inaugural Sunsuper Ride to Conquer Cancer in October 2012. Since we began training as a group, our numbers have grown each week. With just under six months training time remaining we are hoping even more riders join our team and help us raise vital funds for cancer research, treatment and care at Lifehouse.

I would like to thank the Chairman and Directors of the organisation for their commitment and support, all the staff of Lifehouse for their hard work throughout the year and each and every one of our donors for your generous assistance.

Year in review

Nurse-led Cancer Care Program Success Lifehouse at RPA funds many programs including grants for research, medical equipment and other patient resources. One of the most recent successful initiatives supported by Lifehouse has been the Sydney Gynaecological Oncology Group at Sydney Cancer Centre’s program “Fast Track Surgery and Nurse-led Follow Up”.

This nurse-led cancer care program was the first of its kind in Australia and began in January, 2010 with an $82,000 grant provided by Lifehouse at RPA. More than 100 patients participated and their feedback and outcomes evaluated.

The program is essentially a patient centred approach whereby an Advanced Practice Nurse works with cancer patients, providing one-on-one continuous support from pre-operation to follow up care. Patients have procedures, side effects and likely outcomes explained to them at their first consultation and continue to have their clinical nurse’s on-going support every step of the way. Through building a relationship over this time with their nurse, patients were found to have significant improvements in their recovery.

The program leader, Clinical Nurse Consultant, Shannon Philp said that the patients in the program experienced faster recovery and were able to get back to their normal lives quicker. Patient satisfaction with this new model of care has been high.

“Patients were able to leave hospital earlier and spend more of their post-operation recovery time with their families, many of whom report that being at home

helped their recovery. Less pain was experienced, and more patients were eating and drinking again sooner which is a sign of recovery to patients,” Shannon said.“Nurses in such advance practice roles delivering nurse-led care were more challenged in their roles, report feeling more rewarded for their work and more professionally fulfilled with higher job satisfaction. The nurse-led care allowed surgeons more time to see new cancer patients, whilst still providing follow up care as required. Hospital beds were better utilised as previously patients were kept in hospital longer often meaning a delay in surgery for other patients.”

Shannon presented the model at the Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CNSA) Congress in Sydney in July 2012 where it was well received by peers. The program has now been adopted by the Sydney Cancer Centre’s Gynaecological Oncology unit and many other facilities in other hospitals are looking at implementing the model. Several papers have been published in medical journals highlighting its success.

“It’s easy to find excuses for symptoms and just explain them away,” says Keely Bennett, a vibrant 36 year-old woman who had only recently been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer when she spoke with us in February 2012.

Keely, a young mum of two, is advocating better awareness and earlier detection for younger women who don’t necessarily fall into the most common age bracket for a breast cancer diagnosis.

“As I was breastfeeding my daughter at the time, I really thought the lumps were just breast milk. I was very tired but I was working part-time, looking after our three year old Chloe and one year old Ellen, so I wasn’t surprised I was exhausted all the time. And more recently, when my back was constantly sore, I was sure it was from carrying two children and their backpacks around.”

Keely learned that not only did she have breast cancer but that it had spread to her liver and bones. By sharing her story, Keely wants other women to take notice of any changes in their health and act on them – early.

She immediately began courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy at Sydney Cancer Centre, but a few days before Christmas was admitted to the intensive care unit at RPA after developing cellulitis, a bacterial infection of the skin.

“The inflammation initially looked like a small bruise but within four hours it had spread the length of my leg and had become extremely painful,” recalls Keely.

Keely knew that when undergoing chemotherapy she needed to avoid infection as her immune system was more vulnerable, but she presumed that meant flu or chest infections, not something as potentially serious as cellulitis.

“The infection resulted in over a month’s break from chemo and I spent two weeks as an inpatient at RPA over Christmas. Luckily, family brought presents to the

hospital on Christmas Day and we were able to celebrate together.”

Keely’s husband Mark, mother Kathy and her friends have been an incredible support network, helping Keely juggle medical appointments with the general chaos of a young family. Keely says it’s also been extremely beneficial to speak with younger women in particular who are in a similar situation.

“I attended my first ‘under 45’ support group this month and I was awed by the welcome and courage of all the ladies involved,” says Keely. “It’s been a steep learning curve, educating myself about medical terminology and navigating my way through treatment options. I took part in the Look Good… Feel Better workshop which helps women manage the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. That was helpful. And I had my first acupuncture treatment last week – I was very impressed.”

Keely hopes reading about her journey will encourage others to be especially conscious of any changes in their bodies, and to talk to a doctor straight away. When breast cancer is detected early there is a much higher chance of successful treatment – and that the cancer will not come back.

“The past four months has been a wild roller-coaster ride for everyone,” Keely says. “I recognise I still have a long journey ahead but a recent progress scan showed the Herceptin and the chemo treatment plan are having positive results. I’m very grateful for the positive and reassuring visits, calls and emails from family, friends and colleagues, and my husband and friends are also supporting me by participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer cycling event.

“I’m confident I’m getting the best medical treatment possible at Sydney Cancer Centre and, somewhat unexpectedly, I’ve started to develop some fun friendships with the wonderful staff!”

Keely (2nd from right, holding daughter Ellen and surrounded by (from left) her mother Kathy, daughter Chloe and husband Mark), is urging younger women to make sure they get any changes in their health checked out sooner rather than later.

n Pathology This program is developing new ways of personalising

treatment for patients with cancer. The research being carried out at the Sydney Cancer Centre is using cutting edge technologies to look for mutations in a number of important genes which may be used to predict which patients will respond to targeted therapies in lung cancer. In breast cancer, the research is investigating better ways to determine the right chemotherapy treatment by looking at changes in the number of copies of genes such as HER2 and MYC. The project is progressing well and the researchers hope to move this research from the laboratory and into use at the SCC in the near future.

n Head and Neck Cancer This research project is testing a new theory

which tries to improve understanding of how cancers progress. Experiments on mice to test the interactions in tumour growth have been successfully completed and time will now be spent analyzing the tumours and other tissues of tumour bearing mice to identify the mechanisms by which the genes promote growth and metastasis in head and neck cancers.

n Radiation Oncology Human Papolloma Virus (HPV) is now one of the

major causes of throat cancer in Australia. This research project will determine differences in the effects of radiation on the level of expression of protein between throat cancers caused by, or not caused by, HPV. The project will help develop strategies for the treatment of patients with throat cancer with the ultimate aim of decreasing the impact of this disease.

The Sydney Cancer Centre provides a wide range of support services for cancer patients, their families and carers. Lifehouse funds the operations of the Cancer Support Services which are run by a single coordinator and volunteers. This includes:

n Cancer Information and Support Centre This is a place for patients and carers to go for

information or to relax to get away from the biomedical side of the cancer experience. It is visited by over 2,500 people each year.

n Complimentary Tea Trolley Service A rotating team of volunteers is responsible for offering

tea, coffee, juice and biscuits to patients waiting for appointments. They also offer sandwiches at lunch time. This small gesture often makes a difference to patients while they are waiting or during treatment.

n Ward Visits Volunteers trained in active listening visit inpatients

three times a week to offer support to people from the country, people who have few visitors or simply those who enjoy a friendly chat.

n Administrative and Clinical Support Volunteershelpbusydepartmentswithfiling,mailing

and data entry. Trained volunteers also assist with busy clinics by greeting, checking in and weighing patients andensuringthattheirfilesareinorder.

n Volunteer Transport Service The Volunteer Transport Service has been operational

since the early 2000’s and in the past year Kia Motors and The Honda Foundation have kindly donated vehicles to transport patients of the Sydney Cancer

In addition to building the Integrated Cancer Centre, The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA continues to support the activities of the Sydney Cancer Centre.

Due to the support of our donors Lifehouse has been able to fund researchandprovidefinancialassistance for the care and support of cancer patients.

Centre to and from their treatment sessions. The service is manned by volunteers and operates each weekday for patients undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

The Kia Grand Carnival runs a service to nearby Central Railway Station, connecting patients from regional NSW, and the Honda Odyssey transfers patients living in Sydney’s Inner West and surrounding suburbs. The patients are usually referred to the service by nurses and social workers.

This Lifehouse initiative enhances and extends the patient care offered by the Sydney Cancer Centre. We are very grateful to both The Honda Foundation and Kia Motors for their generous support.

n Bereavement Service Lifehouse funding allows the Sydney Cancer Centre to

provide ongoing support for the family and carers of cancer patients through counselling and contributions to memorial services.

n Workshops Cancer Support Services runs or refers patients to a

number of creative and wellbeing workshops that help patients connect with one another and assist them in dealing with the side effects of their illness and treatment. The workshops include: arts and crafts, painting,floraldecoration,meditation,musictherapyand Look Good, Feel Better Workshops.

Patient Support (cont) Patient Care

n Palliative Care - Reiki Program – Canterbury Hospital and Community

Funding from Lifehouse has allowed for a Therapy Room to be set up within the Telopea Ward at Canterbury Hospital including the purchase of the equipmentneededandtopayforaqualifiedMassageTherapist and Reiki Master to visit the ward twice per week and offer these services to patients. This program has been hugely successful with many patients leaving the ward and making appointments to revisit and to continue receiving free massage and Reiki sessions from the therapist. The service has also been extended to cover palliative care patients who are unable to leave their home.

n First of its kind in Neurosurgery and Neuropathology

Funding from Lifehouse has enabled the establishment of a new standardised molecular test for MGMT methylation in the Molecular Neuropathology Laboratory at RPA. This test is of great importance to glioma patients, their families and the treating physicians, and the only service of its kind in NSW.
