Update from Cancer Focus

Roisin Foster Chief Executive Cancer Focus NI spoke to the Club Monday 11 May about ongoing developments within Cancer Focus. Within their many activities they have 3 main areas of focus - helping the public to recognise early signs of cancer together with making healthy lifestyle choices to prevent its onset; providing help and advice to those individuals and families living with cancer particularly dealing with the psychological impact as well as carrying out ground breaking research in their cutting edge laboratory into the causes, treatment and prevention of cancer. Many cancers previously thought to be incurable are now being treated successfully as a result of scientific research.
