Cancer Research: The Austrian Cancer Society (founded in 1910 by A. Eiselsberg and J. Hochenegg) launched the Institute for Tumour Biology - Cancer Research in 1953 (its first head was W. Denk). On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the University of Vienna in 1965 the institute was donated to the Republic of Austria and was attached to the university school of medicine. H. Wrba became its new head; he was followed by R. Schulte-Hermann in 1985. Cancer research concentrates on epidemiology, oncological toxicology, environmental toxicology, experimental cancer research (basic research concerning virology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, gene expression), immune diagnosis and immune therapy as well as growth control of malignant tumours. The research institute works closely with university centres in Vienna hospitals and with research institutions in Austria and abroad.


Research on cancer in children was started with the help of a public collection campaign in 1986; this led to the founding of the "Children's Cancer Research Institute", which operates a laboratory in the St. Anna Children's Hospital in Vienna since 1988. This institute wants to extend its work to the university children's hospitals in Graz and Vienna as well.


The Oesterreichische Krebshilfe, which emerged from the Austrian Cancer Society, focuses its work on applied health research, on cancer prophylaxis, early detection and after-care of cancer, including personal counselling.
