Yorkshire Cancer Research has today announced a £7m investment in ground breaking initiatives that will improve lung cancer outcomes and increase early diagnosis in Yorkshire.
The announcement follows expert workshops held last year, which were attended by more than 100 influential and experienced leaders in early diagnosis, which is key to improving survival, and lung cancer, the region’s leading cause of premature death.
The investment is part of the charity’s wider strategy to ensure 2,000 more people living in Yorkshire survive cancer every year by 2025.
“The five successful projects will involve thousands of people and patients across our region, tackling some of the biggest challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of a disease that kills around 14,000 people in Yorkshire every year. They will also bring expertise into the region from some of the best cancer research centres in the country. We are incredibly grateful to all our supporters for making this investment possible.”
