Cancer Council Australia has published its first national Research Highlights report.
The report profiles some of the hundreds of research projects funded by the Cancer Council each year and introduces the people behind the research, as they discuss their efforts to better understand cancer, improve the prevention and early detection of the disease as well as improve treatments and the quality of life of cancer patients.
Research is the Cancer Council’s largest single investment with a commitment of $49 million in 2008.
This commitment to research of such breadth and depth is only made possible through the support of donations and fundraising. The report illustrates the significant contribution that Cancer Council donors and supporters have made to furthering cancer research in Australia.
