 Cork Cancer Research Centre
Our Mission
To investigate the major issues in the genesis and secondary spread of cancer, in order to develop effective strategies for cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
Dedicated to bringing new cancer treatments to patients our research programmes are aimed at:
• providing less invasive procedures for cancer surgery
• decreasing recovery times for patients
• making surgery possible where it is presently considered unsuitable
Investment in research is vital if we wish to develop new therapies in the areas of cancer prevention, detection and treatment. Through well focused research we strongly believe that a great number of lives can be saved and the quality of life for many people who develop this disease can be improved.
Cork Cancer Research Centre (CCRC) celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and is channelling all its expertise and experience into developing innovative and effective strategies for the control of secondary cancer spread (metastatic disease). Our ambition is to find the key to control this crucial component of the disease.
CCRC does not have any source of annual state funding and therefore is extremely reliant on voluntary fundraising efforts made by the public. The momentum made available by our fundraisers provides the drive and encouragement for breakthroughs to be made and for improvements to be made in the quality of life for all cancer patients.
