Cancer services
Cancer is a major cause of death and illness in Australia, responsible for one-third of all deaths and one-fifth of the total burden of death and disability. Cancer is a disease characterised by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body, that has the potential to pose serious health risks if not identified and treated promptly.
Queensland Health is dedicated to enhancing early detection and improving wellbeing and outcomes for cancer patients and their families. A range of cancer services are provided to the public, including early-detection screenings, oncology services, advanced treatment therapies and surgeries.
