A portrait of cancer research

25 March 2025

If you’ve ever doubted how effective investing in cancer research is, Cancer Society Southern has created a brand-new tool to demonstrate just what our partnerships and your generous donations are helping researchers achieve.

Our new timeline tool – Cancer Innovation Journey, is an interactive ride through history, outlining some of the important achievements and breakthroughs, both internationally and locally, as new treatments start to impact on cancer mortality rates.

It’s a tool we’ll be updating as new innovations and breakthroughs keep mounting up. We are in exciting times as the race to control cancer gets closer to the end. Take a look at our tool Southern Cancer Society | Cancer innovation journey: 1901 – today.

As new innovations are introduced to the world, we are looking for your input so we can make sure everyone is kept abreast of these amazing advancements. Or, if you have information you think needs including, email comms@southerncancer.org.nz.
