AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT’S INITIATIVES IN CANCER CONTROL
Cancer Control in Australia is successful by international measures with more needed
Research breakthroughs have delivered population mortality reductions
New research is needed in successful interventions for obesity, physical activity, diet and alcohol
Better methods of identifying susceptibility, early cancer and evidence-based interventions are urgently needed
