Thanks to supporters, the charity is funding 59 cancer research programmes, including the latest innovations in bowel cancer treatment, brain cancer clinical trials and genetic cancer screening.

Research-backed cancer exercise treatment and stop smoking support services are helping people in the region live longer, healthier lives.
