Particularly, as there is no early detection test, getting samples of the cancer in its earlier stages can be challenging.
Expected/Achieved Outcomes:
Knowledge Building: By funding a tissue bank the OCRF is assisting researchers at The University of Adelaide, and others, overcome this challenge.
Project Status:
This tissue bank continues to collect and distribute valuable samples for research.
