Government moves to improve metastatic cancer data collection
The Albanese Government will provide $1.5 million to accelerate the collection of cancer stage and recurrence data in Australia.
This data is critical for identifying patterns of delayed diagnosis, cancer recurrence and survival, and will help drive equity in cancer outcomes.
This work builds on the recently announced Australian Cancer Plan and responds to the Breast Cancer Network Australia Time to Count People with Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Way Forward report.
