Summary: The University of Melbourne's Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology is located at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. The Department is the only cancer research site embedded in a specialist public hospital in Australia. Thus, 'Peter Mac's perpetual cancer research cycle is unique in Australia; clinicians take their observations from the clinic and share them with their laboratory colleagues and, in turn, researchers plan their research directions with patients in mind.'
