Abstract
1940-1942. Letters between cancer patients and the Anti-Cancer Council of Victoria document the organisation's growing role in providing medical advice, reassurance, and practical support during the early 1940s. The correspondence demonstrates how the Cancer Information Bureau became a central source of guidance on treatment and radium use, establishing supportive care as an emerging element of patient communication. Keywords: medical advice; cancer information; supportive care; social service; social support; patient care; public communication; Cancer Information Bureau; early detection; Cancer Council Victoria history; central cancer registry.
