“I’m excited to share the news that next year, the Cancer Institute NSW will host the Inaugural NSW Cancer Summit.

Bringing together people working across all aspects of cancer control, from research and innovation to prevention, implementation, treatment and care, the two-day Summit will showcase the world leading efforts taking place in NSW to address the growing and devastating impact of cancer.

Superseding the Cancer Innovations and NSW Cancer Research conferences, the Summit is not to be missed. Make sure to save the date – I look forward to sharing more information soon!”
