The CTC is the coordinating centre for several cancer cooperative research groups, for example, ANZ BCTG, AGITG, ANZGOG, ANZGCTG, ALTG, COGNO, APUG.
The CTC may be responsible for randomisation, data management, statistical analyses, and the coordination of related substudies (for example, on quality of life, cost-effectiveness and analysis of biomarkers from tumour tissue).
