Reducing the burden of disease and inequity related to Indigenous Australians with cancer [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Patricia Valery (Principal investigator)

Brief description Indigenous Australians have higher incidence of cancers, higher cancer mortality rates and poorer survival compared to other Australians. My proposed program of research aims to improve patient outcomes and survival of Indigenous people with cancer. The proposed work will examine cancer care at the primary and hospital setting, identify deficiencies, and suggest mechanisms for improvement (an intervention will be tested).
