Breakthrough Cancer Research:
More and more people are now surviving cancer than ever before. Yet, sadly, there are still some cancers that have not seen such advances and the long term survival rates remain tragically low. We're on a mission to change this. We want to disrupt cancer's future and save lives, one breakthough at a time. The funds raised from this event is funding world class researchers as they tackle the most difficult to cure cancers, to deliver better futures sooner.
We continue to focus our research on developing treatments for poor prognosis and incurable cancers, and over the last number of years we have brought eight cancer treatments from the laboratory to clinical trial. This includes the recently opened trial for patients with chemo resistant oesophageal cancer, the ongoing trial for patients with basal cell carcinomas and recent trials for colorectal cancer and malignant melanoma. These investigator led trials are examples of how incredible public support can help translate ideas in the lab directly to patients in the clinic. The funds raised from this event will help accelerate our research of these and other poor prognosis cancers such as lung, ovarian and pancreatic.
