ANZUP’s History

The Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP Cancer Trials Group Ltd, “ANZUP”) became a company limited by guarantee on 9 October 2008. The official launch of ANZUP was held on 20 March 2009 in Sydney.

ANZUP is a cooperative and multi-disciplinary organisation including collaborations within Australia, New Zealand and international collaborations. ANZUP was formed as a national cooperative clinical trials group encompassing all urologic cancers (bladder/ urothelial, kidney, prostate, testis and other related tumours).

ANZUP brings together multiple professional disciplines and interested people to perform high quality clinical trials in urologic cancers and to facilitate basic and translational research. ANZUP is primarily funded by Cancer Australia through its Support for Clinical Trials program.

We have representatives from all the relevant professional and scientific disciplines, in all states and territories of Australia and New Zealand, and with an important and growing international presence. Our Consumer Advisory Panel (CAP) provides a mechanism for advice to be offered across all ANZUP research activities as well as ensuring community engagement.
