布里斯班市议会基础设施主席瑞恩·墨菲因癌症确诊而改变了他的从政方向。1墨菲已担任议员约14年，初次当选时仅以2000票的微弱优势击败了执政30年的现任议员。1他表示，这一诊断"加快了我的时间表，让我在现有职位上产生真正的影响"。1
墨菲致力于在2032年奥运会前加快推进基础设施项目建设。1同时，他开始倡导提高前列腺癌筛查意识。1根据他的阐述，前列腺癌"每天在这个国家杀死11名男性"，是"男性死亡的首要原因"，且五分之一的男性会患上这种疾病。1尽管澳大利亚前列腺癌的生存率已达"95%以上"，远高于20至30年前的70%，1但墨菲在确诊前14年内都未进行过癌症检测。1PSA检测费用为30元，有家族病史的患者可免费进行。1
Ryan Murphy, infrastructure chair of Brisbane City Council, has credited his cancer diagnosis with reshaping his approach to his political role.1 Murphy, who has served as a councillor for approximately 14 years after winning his first election by just 2000 votes against a 30-year incumbent, stated: "It's really, I suppose, hastened my timeline to make a real impact in the time that I've got in the role that I have."1 The diagnosis has motivated him to accelerate infrastructure projects ahead of Brisbane's 2032 Olympic Games.1
Beyond his council work, Murphy is now advocating for increased awareness of prostate cancer screening.1 He notes that the disease kills 11 men daily in Australia and represents "the single greatest cause of death of men," with one in five men affected by the condition.1 However, survival rates have improved significantly, reaching 95 per cent or higher in Australia, up from 70 per cent two to three decades ago.1 Murphy himself was not scheduled for a cancer test for 14 years before his diagnosis, despite the PSA test being available at a cost of $30 or free for those with a family history.1
