The Kinghorn Cancer Centre is placed as a major centre in Australia focused on the translation of research breakthroughs into novel diagnostic, prognostic, treatment and prevention options for a number of key National Health Priority cancers including: breast, prostate, GI (pancreas and colorectal) and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

The Kinghorn Cancer Centre is not necessarily aimed at high throughput treatments but rather builds on its unique strengths to deliver targeted, cost effective, personalised therapies suitable for integration into larger nationwide cancer treatment services.

Bringing together researchers and clinicians onto a single site, The Kinghorn Cancer Centre fosters laboratory research directly driven by clinical challenges, “a bedside to bench” model, and enables research findings to be rapidly translated into clinical application for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer, with the prospect of improving cancer outcomes for all Australians.
