Most people know that The Cancer Council funds more cancer research
than any other charity in the state. However, they also provide many services
that help everyone, especially cancer patients and their families.
The Cancer Council's mission is to defeat cancer and they see research as
playing a vital role. This year they have added ten new projects to our
vibrant external grants portfolio and they continue to expand our
internal research program.
Bringing promising research
out of the lab and into treatment centres is another important priority
and their commitment to clinical trials grows and grows.
They are confident that funding quality research and researchers today will
produce the breakthroughs they need to ensure ongoing improvements in
preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer.
In 2008,
The Cancer Council is spending $13 million on internal and external
research including a number of interstate and international
collaborations.
