Summary: Get to know more about Cancer Council Victoria’s mission and goals as Dr. Anna Boltong discusses them here in this segment which include prevention, support and research. Since its establishment in 1937, Cancer Council Victoria has developed an international reputation for our innovative work in cancer research, prevention and support. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, they play a leading role in reducing the impact of all cancers on all people. Their prevention programs strive to reduce the incidence of cancers attributable to tobacco, UV radiation, alcohol, obesity and infection, particularly in high-risk populations. Their support programs strive to reduce the impact of cancer by providing reliable information and compassionate support to people living with cancer, their family and friends. Their research programs underpin all of our work in cancer prevention and support and generate the knowledge required to continue to drive improvements in cancer survival.
