The Comprehensive Cancer Centre is an initiative conceptualised in early 2005 by members of the Canterbury Cancer Network. Our mission is to facilitate a co-ordinated approach to cancer control in the Canterbury and larger South Island region, integrating clinical services, research and patient support. Such a multidisciplinary approach has already begun here with current focus groups, multi-disciplinary teams and multi-centre teleconferencing bringing together various professionals in the realm of Cancer Control. The proposed Centre aims to build on this collaborative approach and extend the spectrum of professionals brought together whilst embracing more patient and public involvement. Such a Centre with more linkages and interactions would foster internationally competitive cutting edge basic, diagnostic and clinical research.
