All Cancer donation, etc, in australia in the last 5 years.
Dear Cancer Institute NSW,
I am very worried about the increasing numbers of cancer cases.
Is there enough money being donated-collected?
How much money has been collected in dollars, in the past 5 years please?
How much money would be needed in dollars for a favourable outcome please?
Yours faithfully, Roger L
Dear Mr Nordt,
The Cancer Institute NSW, which is a NSW government agency, is not a
deductible gift recipient and does not hold information about donations
made to Australian cancer charities. The Australian Charities and
Not-for-profits Commission publishes some resources on its website that
you may find useful:
[1]http://www.acnc.gov.au/ACNC/About_ACNC/R...
The Cancer Institute NSW publishes information about cancer on its
website, in particular at
[2]https://www.cancerinstitute.org.au/under.... While cancer
incidence has increased as life expectancy has increased, advances in
prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer mean that
many more people with cancer are surviving and living longer.
Regards,
Peta

This is not an answer to the applicant's questions but it might be of interest to some users.
It is important to remember that the number of cancer cases is not a good indicator of whether any progress is made in treating or preventing cancer. The reason that the number is not very useful is because the population changes, so it is possible that there are more cases just because there are more people also when the rate of cancer is decreasing. The important measure is the "incidence" . Please have a look at my annotation here (https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/i... ) for an explanation of the words "incident", "incidents", "incidence". There is a publication from the Australian Government Department of Health that is available here (http://www.aihw.gov.au/publication-detai... ); it is called "Cancer Incidence Projections 2011 to 2020". I had a look at the PDF file and the table about the incidence of "all cancers" instead of just one type of cancer like ovarian cancer. The data in the Table 1 (page ix) show that, although the number of cases of all different cancers is expected to increase over the decade, the incidence is steady in males (but rising in women). To say this with more words, the chance of getting a cancer has not changed but because there are more people in Australia, there will be more cases of cancer in 2020 than a decade before this. It is also interesting to see in the table that the way the incidence changes is a fact of the individual type of cancer. For example, the incidence of lung cancer in females is rising, but it is going down in males. The incidence of kidney cancer is rising in males but steady in females.
It is important to understand that the change in the incidence of cancer is usually absolutely nothing to do with what is happening today, when the cancer is diagnosed. The rise in incidence in the lung cancer of women is because it took longer to change the smoking habits of women than to change the smoking habits of men (many years ago). The effect of a carcinogen is usually delayed by a long time, and if the effect is not delayed then the visibility of the effect is long delayed..
