Cancer Health Services Research Unit

The Cancer Health Services Research (CHSR) Unit’s mission is to improve value-based cancer services across the care continuum using real-world outcomes and cost data.

We support the translation of research findings from the laboratory to clinical practice. In doing so, we aim to improve cancer services by utilising real-world data to analyse patterns of care provision, including treatment sequencing, and their health economics implications.

The Unit is part of the University of Melbourne Centre for Cancer Research (UMCCR) and the Melbourne School of Population & Global Health (MSPGH) Centre for Health Policy, with active collaborations within the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC), particularly Western Health and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
