Funded Activity Summary

The proposed research will examine the use of targeted cancer therapies in Australia. At present there is little evidence around how these medications are being used in the real world, medical services their use requires, and costs associated with their use. Analysing linked, routinely collected health data, this project will generate new scientific and methodological knowledge about the use and impact of targeted cancer therapies available via publicly funded access programs in Australia.
