Published Research
PBCF supports the work of the St George Cancer Centre & UNSW Clinical School. Throughout the year the results of their work into prostate, breast & other cancers is published in high profile global publications, contributing to the global knowledge base and sharing breakthroughs and insights with other researchers.
One area of interest with great promise is the investigation of ‘extracellular vesicles’. This area offers the hope of finding new methods to detect cancer early. Early detection of all cancers would be a major public health innovation and contribute greatly to higher levels of survival, especially in the ‘less detectable’ cancers such as liver, pancreatic, cervical, ovarian and many others.
