Event Two: RESEARCH IN PARTNERSHIP

Thanks to research, cancer outcomes have improved enormously over the last 30 years. There are now many cancer survivors living with the long-term effects of their disease, needing therapy and support.

We are transforming cancer detection, treatment and survivorship through research, using our combined strengths and expertise to make a difference.

On World Cancer Day, we are celebrating cancer survivors and showing how our research is making the outlook brighter into the future.
