My Story
We're proud to be working in partnership with Cancer Research UK to help tackle cancer inequalities and support research into hard to treat cancers. Why Cancer Inequalities? We know that, unfortunately, inequalities can impact health and, more specifically, cancer outcomes. This can include things like socioeconomic status, education, gender, ethnicity, age, and even postcode. These factors can impact risk of getting or surviving cancer due to differences in peoples’ health and opportunities to lead a healthy life, their access to care and the quality of care they receive.' Research conducted by Cancer Research UK has shown that whilst over the last 40 years improvements have been made in how cancer is prevented and detected in some cancers, this has not been the same across all cancers with some, including brain, lung, oesophageal, pancreatic, liver and stomach unfortunately remaining under-researched and hard to treat. Cancer Research UK believes improving outcomes in cancers with the poorest survival is critical to achieving it’s vision for world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. Together we are beating cancer.
