About Cabrini Precision Oncology Program

The Cabrini Precision Oncology Program (CPOP) represents the next stage for the Cabrini Cancer Institute and its vision to deliver a comprehensive and integrated model of cancer care for patient populations across South-East Victoria. By integrating genomics into research and clinical practice, CPOP will deliver comprehensive genomic profiling while also contributing towards the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to cancer. The program aims to transform existing oncological approaches not only at an individual level but also at population scale, establishing a feasible and sustainable model for precision oncology, promoting clinical adoption, informing policy, and providing equitable access to genomic profiling services.
