“Terrific to see this collaboration and significant investment in cancer survivorship research between UNSW and Cancer Council NSW. The Cancer Institute NSW looks forward to partnering with researchers to improve outcomes for people of NSW diagnosed with cancer.”

Quoting Cancer Institute NSW’s post:

“Today is an exciting day for cancer survivorship research, as we announced our 10-year partnership with UNSW to establish an Australian-first research centre for cancer survivors, the Australian Research Centre for Cancer Survivorship.

This is a pivotal moment in our work to tackle cancer, and improve the lives of cancer survivors as outlined in our current 5-year strategy. The launch of the Australian Research Centre for Cancer Survivorship is a vital step as we work to ensure better support, better care and ultimately a better quality of life for cancer survivors, through an evidence-based approach and world-class researchers.
