Keen fundraisers at this year’s South Burnett Relay For Life … the money raised at events like this helps to fund vital cancer research<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ever wondered where money raised at events such as South Burnett Relay For Life end up?<\/p>\n

Cancer Council Queensland recently announced a $2 million boost to cancer research at their annual Accelerating Collaborative Cancer Research (ACCR) presentation.<\/p>\n

In partnership with the University of Queensland, Cancer Council Queensland will invest $2 million over four years in a project targeting oesophageal cancer.<\/p>\n

Lead Researcher Professor Andrew Barbour will be funded for his project, “Assessment of tumour phenotype for precision medicine in oesophageal cancer via deep learning analysis of medical images”.<\/p>\n

A Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson said the ACCR grants were highly competitive.<\/p>\n

They aim to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Stimulate innovative, collaborative cancer research to make major advances in areas of need,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Accelerate the translation of research findings into improved prevention, clinical practice or health policy to improve the survival and well-being of cancer patients, and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Develop the capacity of high-quality cancer research groups in Queensland by encouraging effective research collaboration between universities, health services and medical and scientific research institutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Cancer Council Queensland CEO Andrew Donne congratulated the successful research team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \u201cThanks to our generous supporters, Cancer Council Queensland is proud to accelerate Prof Andrew Barbour\u2019s project and provide hope for the 31,000 Queenslanders diagnosed with cancer each year,” he said.<\/p>\n

        Prof Barbour expressed heartfelt thanks to Cancer Council Queensland and its supporters.<\/p>\n

        \u201cOesophageal cancer has a poor prognosis and there are few treatment options,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

        \u201cWe aim to extract information from medical imaging to support better treatment decisions and outcomes for patients through a precision medicine approach.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
