Five-year cancer plan will invest £1.5billion
November 28th, 2008
A major cancer charity is to invest £300million a year for five years to boost research into the most serious forms of the disease.
Cancer Research UK has today launched its ambitious five-year plan to spend £1.5billion on core areas of science to reduce cancer deaths, including greater investment in those areas where survival rates remain poor.
This includes pancreatic, oesophageal or lung cancer, for which the 10-year survival rate is only around 5%.
