Research impact

Great progress has been made on breast cancer in recent decades. Five-year survival rates in Australia are up to 91%, while 83% survive beyond 10 years. Yet the disease still claims thousands annually and treatment often leaves those who do survive with significantly impaired quality of life.
Potential for prostate cancer breakthrough
A new angle on prostate cancer research aims to find better ways to treat the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Australian men.
