A recent Hospital & Healthcare article discusses a recent update to the Australian Cancer Atlas, an interactive online resource helping researchers, members of the community, medical professionals and policymakers understand how Australia’s cancer burden varies across geographical areas.
The recent update means the resource now includes latest national data on how cancer diagnosis and excess death rates vary by geographical area across Australia. The Atlas enables users to easily visualise these variations, offering critical insight into how the patterns of cancer and outcomes in Australia vary depending on where people live, which can be used to drive research priorities and policies going forward. This gives health agencies and policymakers a better understanding of geographic disparities and health requirements across the country.
The Atlas is a collaborative project between Cancer Council Queensland and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
