Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in the western world and kills an estimated 250,000 men per year worldwide. The annual cost of diagnosis of prostate cancer in Australia is about $1 Billion.
ICT for Life Sciences Forum sponsor, NICTA, has joined with a team of medical researchers to contribute its expertise in Information and Communication Technology to determine the genetics behind lethal prostate cancer. NICTA has produced this video to communicate this exciting research project, which recently received funding from Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council.
