THE CROWN PRINCESS MARY CANCER CENTRE WESTMEAD
The Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre Westmead is based at Westmead Hospital, and serves a large area across western Sydney, which is home to more than one million people.
The Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre Westmead is a purpose built state of the art facility which matches anything in the world.
Completed in December 2007 and built at a cost of $27 million, the Centre provides fully integrated research, prevention, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation programs for patients and families coping with cancer.
