Continued investment in the VCCC will help us accelerate our system-changing approach to integrated cancer research, education and care. For patients across the state this will mean that research more quickly becomes real treatments, more access to cancer clinical trials, and even better trained cancer health professionals to care for you. #overcomingcancertogether #jobs #futurefocused Dan Andrews Martin Foley MP Jaala Pulford MP Victorian Department of Health & Human Services https://www.viccompcancerctr.org.au//2020-2021-victorian-/
