Australians have a higher cancer rate that UK, Canada, USA and NZ.

This is adue to a combination of factors, our higher UV exposure, (the largest group is skin cancers) influences the higher rate of incidence.

EWarly detection programs, education programs and treatment regimes influence our low mortality rates.
