1 in 3 Australian men and 1 in 4 Australian women will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 75.

Thanks to donors’ incredible generosity, My Westmead has been able to proudly support the work of The Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre at Westmead Hospital. This purpose built state of the art facility provides fully integrated research, prevention, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation programs for patients and families coping with cancer.

Despite their busy schedules, five of the Westmead Hospital’s Oncologists have kindly agreed to speak at the upcoming My Westmead Community Seminar “New and Novel Treatments for Cancer”.
