Cancer Prevention and Control [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Whiteman (Principal investigator)

Brief description Each year, cancer newly affects more than 120,000 Australians and kills over 40,000. The incidence of cancer in Australia is higher than any other population on earth. The costs of treating cancer are vast; each year it is estimated $5 billion is spent on direct healthcare costs alone. Many cancers are preventable, and many more could be treated successfully if detected earlier than is currently the case. My vision is to reduce the burden of cancer through prevention and control.
