Blood cancer taskforce seeks to tackle diseases that kill 20 Australians a day
Blood cancer kills 20 Australians each day on average. If current rates continue, it is expected more than 186,000 Australians will lose their life to blood cancer between now and 2035, making it the leading cause of cancer death in the country. The Australian government has announced a $150,000 taskforce aimed at increasing survival rates for leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. The Guardian, 1/9/19
