Blood cancer is the third biggest cause of cancer death across Australia, claiming more lives each year than breast cancer or skin cancer.
Blood cancers cover three types; leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and vary greatly, with each cancer type requiring specific and targeted treatments. Cancer Council SA is proud to fund a range of blood cancer research projects, aiming to find new and better ways to detect and treat the disease. We also invest in a number of support programs to ensure that those diagnosed with blood cancers are supported throughout every stage of their cancer journey.
Cancer Council SA has been supporting South Australians affected by cancer for over 90 years.
We are committed to supporting all South Australians impacted by cancer and are the only organisation that works across every aspect of cancer including cancer research, prevention, evidence-based information and support.
