OUR
RESEARCH
Our research is vital. Despite significant increases in the numbers of people surviving cancer, there are still over 9,000 people in Ireland who die each year from this disease. Even with treatment, they cannot be saved. We passionately believe research is how we can change this and deliver better futures sooner.
