The new home of Cancer Research SA
Research partnerships are integral to St Andrew’s dedication to clinical excellence. The third floor at 337 is the new home of Cancer Research SA, a team of oncologists and researchers dedicated to rigorous and continual advancement of cancer care in our state.
“Suspending the structure was a real technical feat. We engaged the best engineers and physicists, and used steel as well as concrete to insulate, which also reduced its emissions profile during construction.”
In acknowledgement of the Kaurna land which is home to all of St Andrew’s including 337, Kaurna Elder Uncle Tamaru was invited to perform a smoking ceremony inside the LINAC chambers. It’s a symbol of welcome, cleansing and healing, to promote the protection and wellbeing of visitors.
CRSA’s aim is to provide compassionate, state-ofthe-art care for the cancer patient of today, and ongoing advancements in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of cancer in the future. It is the hope of CRSA that every South Australian affected by cancer has an opportunity to discuss and participate in a clinical trial.
Cancer patients at St Andrew’s will be offered access to the latest CRSA clinical trials, receiving advanced care and contributing to life-saving medical progress.
