Bringing together leading experts in cancer prevention, care, and support
We aim to reduce the incidence and impact of cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand, and to reduce cancer-related inequalities.
We work in close coordination with the Cancer Society of New Zealand to prioritise the research we conduct, disseminate our findings, and advocate for world-leading cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, care, and support.
