Supporting Cancer Research UK

A hysterectomy, or womb removal, is a standard treatment for women with cervical cancer, but some women may have long-term side effects. In Sheffield, Professor John Tidy is leading a trial comparing two different types of surgery to treat women with early-stage cervical cancer. This trial is testing whether women can recover from their cancer just as well if they have less extensive surgery, with fewer short- and long-term side effects.

This is only one of the projects you could contribute to by leaving a gift in your Will to Cancer Research UK.

Gifts in Wills breathe life into researchers’ work by funding over a third of their life-saving research. Legacies enable long-term research projects that allow scientists to achieve breakthroughs every day. Each breakthrough inspires the next until the day comes when everyone survives cancer.

Cancer Research UK has made a pledge to their supporters. 80p in every £1 they receive goes towards funding vital research like Professor Tidy’s, while the other 20p helps raise more funds to support research.

In the past 40 years, survival has doubled in part thanks to Cancer Research UK’s pioneering research, funded by the generosity of their supporters. Cancer Research UK is committed to ensuring 3 in 4 people in the UK who are diagnosed with cancer survive their disease for 10 years or more by 2034. None of this will be possible without the help of their supporters.
