Episode Synopsis
You can’t beat cancer without scientists. Without research the progress we've made in beating cancer wouldn’t be where it is today. But that progress is at risk of stalling.To keep up and to plug the funding gap, we would need to find an additional £1 billion pounds over the next decade.

To join us in telling party leaders to back our calls for longer, better lives, you can sign our open letter. Read our manifestoFor more cancer stories, visit Cancer News Hosted on Acast.
