Breaking through: overcoming challenges in cancer treatment
“We are incredibly lucky to be supported by the Peter Mac community. What you do provides really meaningful support for us in the labs. We would not be able to do the science that we do without your support” - Professor Ben Hogan.
On the evening of 9 May 2024, we hosted over 200 Peter Mac Discovery Partners at our Parkville campus to thank them for their support in the search for new cancer treatments and cures.
The event featured two talented Peter Mac researchers – Professor Ben Hogan and Dr Luke McLean. Alongside them, cancer survivor and Peter Mac patient Peter and his partner Bernie generously shared their personal story.
Professor Hogan’s fundamental research hopes his will work will lead to breakthroughs in obstacles facing many cancer patients, with a particular focus on breast and brain cancers.
Dr McLean presented his research into cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), a type of skin cancer that is often involved in the head and neck region. Through his research, Dr McLean is pursuing deeper insight into the interaction between the immune system and cancer, to understand why immunotherapy works for some people but not for others.
It was a fantastic and informative night, and we are so thankful for our incredible community!
Watch the event recording to learn more about Professor Hogan’s or Dr McLean’s research and to see how Peter Mac supporters are helping to overcome some of the toughest challenges in cancer treatment.

This time last year we officially launched the Victorian Gamma Knife Service at Peter Mac. Thanks to generous philanthropic support, Peter Mac was able to acquire a Gamma Knife which provides patients with complex brain cancers a non-invasive alternative to traditional brain surgery and whole brain radiation. The Gamma Knife is the first of its kind in Victoria and only the third in Australia. It was quite the undertaking to get the Gamma Knife safely into place – part of the Gamma Knife travelled by boat from Sweden, 9.5 tonnes of concrete was demolished to get the structure prepared and then 90 tonnes of new concrete were used for reinforcement. This time lapse video captures this impressive feat. Today, the Gamma Knife has delivered 268 treatments to patients providing less risk of complications, less side effects and an improved quality of life.
Last week, our amazing Unite to Fight Cancer participants covered enough kilometres to go around Australia 7 times! They did this in an effort to support lifesaving cancer research at Peter Mac. Together, 3,317 individuals have raised more than $1,750,000! ⭐ This is an incredible achievement, made only possible by you, our wonderful Peter Mac community. Here is a special thank you from Professor Shelley Dolan, Chief Executive of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Thank you so, so much 💜🔬
Today is Day 1 of Peter Mac's Unite to Fight Cancer! Thank you so much to the 3,200 riders and walkers that are joining us over these next 10-days.

Goodluck to all those uniting with us and thank you for bringing hope to all people affected by cancer.
