Monday 30 March - Monday 6 April

Key players in Victoria’s cancer treatment sector have joined forces to help coordinate the states’ clinical cancer response to COVID-19. VCCC and MPCCC have come together to establish the new Victorian COVID-19 Cancer Network: https://www.viccompcancerctr.org/victorian-covid-19-cancer-network/

Research Australia lists the researchers and organisations contributing to outcomes to impact COVID-19 as the pandemic shines a light on the importance of health and medical research investment in Australia. Australian Health Research Alliance says collaboration enables the research sector to identify research priorities and fast track projects.

US and UK scientists have developed an especially accurate test for detecting more than 50 different types of cancer.
