Cancer Research SA

C

CRSA was conceptualised and brought to fruition by a team of medical oncologists who practice at a number of private and public hospitals in Adelaide and include members from AOAH and ICON.

R

Our aim is to provide compassionate, state-of-the-art care and ongoing advancements in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of cancer in the future. We seek to accomplish this through research, education and clinical practice.

S

Access….this is achievable through CRSA. Our aim is to offer every Australian diagnosed with (affected by) cancer an opportunity to discuss your options and participation in the most up to date clinical trial.

A

Clinical trials often provide novel therapies and have been demonstrated internationally to be the gold standard choice of treatment for a cancer patient.

We have high level expertise in solid tumours, including cancers of the breast, lung, male genito-urinary system (prostate, bladder, kidney and testis), female reproductive system (ovary, uterus and cervix), gastrointestinal tract (oesophagus, stomach and bowel) and melanoma.

Working alongside specialist cancer surgeons, radiation oncologists and all major medical specialties, the team at CRSA will ensure each patient’s cancer care is optimised, individualised, and of the highest standard.

Our doctors participate in a variety of cancer education programs, including multidisciplinary cancer meetings, tumour boards and research conferences both nationally and internationally addressing advances in oncology research and treatment.

The fulfillment of our mission will be measured by the satisfaction of patients, positive outcomes from treatment, improved access for patients to clinical trials, the dedication of our staff, and the success of our research and education programs.

OUR LOGO

Over time, our community has created different colour ribbons for each cancer type as a symbolic of awareness for patient who has been diagnosed with cancer. The story of our multi-colour logo theme came from the idea of integrating each of these cancer colour into one design. This is in line with our vision which is to bring cancer research together through innovation and collaboration into our unit.

Each colour represents a cancer type:

    • White: Lung cancer
    • Grey: Brain cancer
    • Pink: Breast cancer
    • Emerald Green: Liver cancer
    • Light Blue: Prostate cancer
    • Periwinkle Blue: Stomach cancer
    • Yellow: Bone cancer
    • Orange: Kidney cancer
    • Dark Blue: Colon cancer
    • Teal: Ovarian cancer
    • Purple: Pancreatic cancer, cancer survivors
    • Peach: Uterine cancer
    • Black: Melanoma
