Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers impacting women globally. While advancements in detection, treatment, and patient outcomes are… by Khadija Husain 7 Oct 2024 Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers impacting women globally. While advancements in detection, treatment, and patient outcomes are remarkable, the need for consistent awareness and education continues to be critical. To bring this important issue into focus, we sat down with Dr. Mona Algak, a Family Medicine Specialist at Aspen Medical, who provided insightful perspectives on the latest developments in breast cancer care, prevention, and the role early detection plays in saving lives. Early Detection At the heart of breast cancer management is early detection. When asked about the most effective methods, Dr. Algak underscored the importance of routine screenings, particularly mammograms. “According to NICE guidelines, women aged 50-70 are offered mammograms every three years as part of the breast screening program. After 70, although automatic screenings are no longer available, women are encouraged to book their own appointments to continue this crucial preventive care,” explains Dr. Algak. Mammograms remain the gold standard for early detection, allowing for the identification of abnormalities long before they become palpable. Dr. Algak recommends that women consult their healthcare providers to determine the appropriate frequency of screenings, particularly those with risk factors such as a family history of breast cancer. Early diagnosis through mammograms can significantly improve survival rates, reinforcing the vital role of regular screening. Treatments Recent years have ushered in a new era in breast cancer treatment, marked by significant breakthroughs in targeted therapies and immunotherapy. These advancements have notably transformed patient outcomes, particularly for women with HER2-positive breast cancer. “Targeted therapies focus on blocking specific proteins that control the growth and spread of cancer cells,” shares Dr. Algak. “For example, treatments for HER2-positive cancers have dramatically increased survival rates over the past decade. Additionally, immunotherapy, which harnesses the body’s immune system to combat cancer, is becoming a powerful tool in breast cancer treatment.” These advancements allow for more personalized treatment plans, improving survival rates while reducing the severe side effects associated with traditional methods like chemotherapy and radiation. Diagnosis & Emotional Well-being Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is often a life-altering experience, affecting both physical and emotional health. Dr. Algak provides essential advice to women who are navigating this challenging time, emphasizing a well-rounded, informed approach to treatment. “It’s critical to fully understand the diagnosis—the type and stage of breast cancer—as this determines the treatment path,” she explains. “Discuss all available options, from surgery to chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapies, so you can make informed decisions that align with your needs.” Beyond medical treatments, Dr. Algak stresses the importance of addressing emotional well-being. “Building a strong support system—whether through family, friends, or support groups—can provide emotional comfort during this difficult time,” she advises. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other forms of counseling can also help manage the emotional toll of the diagnosis. Dr. Algak advocates for stress-relief techniques like meditation and yoga, paired with a comprehensive survivorship plan created with healthcare professionals, as essential components to help women face their journey with resilience and confidence. Prevention Measures Preventing breast cancer is a crucial part of empowering women to take control of their health. Dr. Algak outlines several proactive steps that can reduce breast cancer risk.“Maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and limiting alcohol intake are all key lifestyle changes,” she notes. “Breastfeeding, reducing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), quitting smoking, and adhering to regular screenings and self-exams can further lower risk.” Breast cancer through early detection, and the latest treatment options are pivotal in empowering women to take charge of their health. With the combination of cutting-edge medical advancements and a holistic approach to well-being, women today are better prepared than ever to meet the challenges of breast cancer head-on—with strength, hope, and resilience.

On Thursday, 16 October, the restaurant presents Many Hands – Platters of Tradition , a one-night-only dining experience curated by two culinary visionaries — Chef Akmal Anuar and Chef Khaled Alsaadi. Priced at AED 285 per person, the evening invites guests to gather around a shared table for an expressive journey of flavours and heritage. Offered in two seatings (6 pm and 9 pm), the set menu is designed as a cohesive composition, prepared and served “many-hands style” a symbolic gesture of unity that brings together both chefs’ Arab roots through a refined Japanese lens. The evening opens with Maraq , a rich meat-based soup with shrimp wontons and onions, followed by Smoked Eggplant and Bukhari Rice presented nigiri-style, and a Harissa and Walnut Dip paired with soft Shokupan bread. At its heart lies a whole lamb — a centrepiece reimagined across several dishes that explore diverse cooking methods and interpretations: Honey-Glazed Lamb Ribs with Smoked Furikake , Sticky Teriyaki Lamb Shank , Lamb Skewers , Lamb Floss with Majboos Spices , and Fahsa , a slow-cooked stew rooted in Arabian tradition. Sides such as Mushroom and Okra Bamia and Zurbian Rice complement the spread, while dessert brings a gentle close with Cinnamon Butter Pound Cake served alongside Honey Ice Cream and Sidr Honey . “ Many Hands is about more than food; it’s about connection. When chefs cook together, ideas move freely, techniques merge, and something deeply human happens around the table, ” shares Chef Akmal Anuar. “ Our cuisine carries memory, family, and place. Many Hands lets us bring that spirit to the table, together, through craft and respect, ” adds Chef Khaled Alsaadi. Chef Akmal, revered for his minimalist precision and artistry, has spent over two decades shaping the region’s dining scene through acclaimed, Michelin-recognised concepts such as Goldfish Sushi & Yakitori, Harummanis, and Funkcoolio. Chef Khaled, an Emirati culinary artist celebrated for reinterpreting local cuisine with modern finesse, brings his global experience from kitchens like Nobu, Hakkasan, Ossiano, and Bread Street Kitchen. Together, the two chefs promise a night where heritage meets innovation, a dining experience that honours culture while pushing creative boundaries.

Persol's latest pair is designed to outlast trend cycles entirely, built for those done buying sunglasses that expire by next summer. You Don't Need Another Pair of Sunglasses Except This One Persol's latest pair is designed to outlast trend cycles entirely, built for those done buying sunglasses that expire by next summer. by Amal Riyah 20 May 2026 Let's be honest. You already own sunglasses. Probably too many. There's the pair you bought because they were everywhere last summer. The ones that came with the holiday outfit. The "investment" pair you convinced yourself was worth it because of the logo on the temple. They all live in a drawer somewhere, slightly scratched, slowly becoming irrelevant. Because that's what trend-driven sunglasses do. They expire. And every single season, the fashion machine asks you to start over. Persol was born in Turin in 1917. Not to be fashionable, but to protect the eyes of pilots and racing drivers from the brutal Italian sun. The name itself is a compression of per il sole — for the sun. Functional. Direct. Italian. And for over a century, that's exactly what the brand has remained. No celebrity co-sign built Persol's legend — cool simply found them. When Steve McQueen walked onto the set of The Thomas Crown Affair in 1968, he was wearing his own personal pair. The producers took one look and kept them in the film. That's the Persol story. Not chasing cool. Being it. The PO3396S belongs to Persol's Officina line — Italian for workshop. Not a collection. Not a campaign. A workshop. The name alone tells you everything about the philosophy: this frame was constructed with purpose before aesthetics entered the conversation. The frame is cellulose acetate — a naturally derived material that goes through thirty manual processes before it becomes what you hold in your hands. Not plastic. Not polycarbonate. Acetate. The hypoallergenic kind, which feels warm against your skin, develops a patina over the years of wear. The kind that gets better with time. The lenses are real glass — Barberini® glass, to be precise. In a world where every brand has switched to lighter, cheaper polycarbonate, Persol still insists on glass because glass gives you something plastic simply cannot: optical clarity that makes everything else feel slightly compromised. And then there's the Arrow. Inspired by the swords of ancient warriors, the Supreme Arrow hinge sits at the temple joint of every single Persol frame ever made. It's not decorative. It's structural. It's been there since the 1930s. It will be there long after every other trend has moved on. Right now, the sunglasses market is at peak volume. Oversized shields. Neon lenses. Logo temples so large they double as billboards. Every major house is competing for the most dramatic frame on the shelf. And into all of that noise, the PO3396S arrives — clean, rectangular, stripped of spectacle— and makes every other pair in the room feel exhausting. The person who finds the PO3396S isn't browsing. They've already been through the trends. They've bought the it-frame and watched it age badly. They arrive at Persol the way people arrive at good tailoring — not looking for something new, but finally looking for something right. You don't need another pair of sunglasses. But if you're going to own one pair that you'll still be reaching for in ten years — one pair that asks nothing of the moment it's in — it's the PO3396S. Some things were never meant to be fashionable. Style ages. Character settles in
