A new has been set up at the in New South Wales to provide personalised and tailored care to Australians with cancer.

This project is a partnership between , Prince of Wales 黑料吃瓜群网 and , , , , , and .

The initiative is part of a 5-year commitment from the federal government to establish multiple precision care clinics across the country through a $5.8 million grant from the Medical Research Future Fund Rapid Applied Research Translation scheme.

The clinic aims to facilitate rapid adoption of precision medicine research into routine public health care. It takes into consideration long-recognised clinical, lifestyle and environmental factors, strategically matching the right treatment or clinical trial to the right patient.

Federal Minister for Health Mark Butler said, 鈥淭his innovative cancer clinic will combine genomic research and implementation science to ensure the benefits of precision medicine are effectively translated into improved health outcomes for people with cancer across Australia.鈥�

鈥淚n addition to this, this program will also work to ensure that we can adopt this sort of cutting edge treatment to become a routine part of care,鈥� said NSW Minister for Health Ryan Park.

鈥淐linicians and patients will be converging from across the country at this hub to access this precision care and incorporate it into their treatment plans,鈥� Park said.

Cancer doctors and patients from across Australia will be able to seamlessly incorporate genomic results into care plans. This will allow them to comprehensively consider all current and emerging treatment options and their potential implications, including targeted therapy, clinical trials and cancer risk management.

UNSW鈥檚 School of Population Health Scientia Associate Professor Natalie Taylor said, 鈥淭he initiative is built on the latest clinical evidence and research, with careful consideration of the barriers that patients can face when receiving cancer care. It will be supported by a digital evidence-driven data platform which will enable clinicians to access rapid precision cancer treatment and prevention decision support for their patients.

鈥淩esearchers are working closely with doctors and their patients to ensure that their expectations and needs are captured and used to continuously refine the clinic. Designing the clinic together enables the patients to feel like they are contributing and not just a number.鈥�

Director of Cancer and Haematology Services at Prince of Wales 黑料吃瓜群网 Professor Boon Chua said, 鈥淥ur patients will now be able to access their precision cancer information, advice and care all in the one place, without having to navigate their way through multiple clinics and specialists.

鈥淭he public clinic will provide formal processes that enable specialists in oncology and genetics to make evidence-informed decisions together with the aim of improving patient experiences and health outcomes.鈥�
