New research has found that more than one million Australians will die of cancer over the next 25 years unless early detection and intervention occurs.


New research from The Daffodil Centre at the Cancer Council of New South Wales and the University of Sydney reveals the number of new cancer cases from 2020 to 2044 is projected to top more than 4.56 million.

And, it's projected 1.4 million Australians will die of cancer during the same period.

Despite these numbers, which account for projected population growth and ageing, the actual rate of cancer is declining.
