Research impacts

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in Australia and globally. The prevention, early detection/screening and optimal management of lung cancer will help address the huge burden from lung cancer, enabled by high impact research and addressing stigma and nihilism and the health disparities that exist.

The team at The Prince Charles Hospital and University of Queensland Thoracic Research Centre are passionate, focussed and internationally recognised, leading clinical research in lung cancer in Australia. They are very pleased and privileged to work with patients, families / carers and consumers to make a difference in this awful disease.
