NCIC Journal Club

The National Centre for Infections in cancer (NCIC) is the peak body that looks at the diagnosis and management of Infections in cancer patients. Cancer patients are extremely vulnerable to infection due to their immunocompromised status- either due to the cancer or its treatment. Infections are very common in cancer patients and can adversely affect outcomes, not to mention cause delays in receiving cancer therapy. Cancer treatments have expanded rapidly recently with many novel advances such as CART, however, research into the effects of these new cancer treatments on infection risk, diagnosis and management have not. The NCIC is a multidisciplinary, national network that harnesses the digital health technology age to improve outcomes for cancer patients.
