Cancer Council Victoria's Grants-in-Aid program
A research project to develop new approaches to understanding the cause of colorectal cancer in families has received funding from Cancer Council Victoria.
Although it is preventable, colorectal cancer is still a major public health problem in Australia and the leading cause of cancer-related death. Screening has proven to reduce the incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer in the high-risk group of people with a family history of the disease.
