The Viertel Centre for Research in Cancer Control, incorporating an Epidemiology Unit and a Psycho-Oncology Research Unit, conducts collaborative research in cancer control with a focus on issues of importance to Queenslanders. The work undertaken by the Centre will improve our knowledge of the causes and prevention of cancer, will help us to diagnose cancer earlier and improve survival and will improve our capacity to meet the needs of patients and their families.
