Ovarian and endometrial cancer affect >3,200 women each year in Australia and 3 or 4 women die from these cancers every day. The overall aim of my program of research is to reduce the burden of these cancers in future generations of Australian women by increasing our understanding of (i) what causes them, (ii) how we can optimise patient management to enhance patient outcomes and (ii) how lifestyle changes might improve quality and life and survival, for women who are diagnosed with them.
Striking The Balance: Combining Best Patient Outcomes And Cost-effective Interventions To Manage Cardiovascular Disease
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$782,370.00
Summary
This research will combine effective patient outcomes with strategic spending of health dollars. Through detailed analyses of current and recent clinical trials on cardiovascular disease, this project will identify treatments that provide the most benefit to patients’ quality of life and, crucially, will also be the most cost-effective to fund. This will pave the way for similar processes to be used in other areas of health to develop cost-effective healthcare programs for vulnerable groups.
