About Yorkshire Cancer Research
Yorkshire Cancer Research is a Yorkshire’s cancer charity, helps the people of Yorkshire avoid, survive and cope with cancer. YCR is the most successful regional medical research charity in the UK. They fund internationally recognised research, which focuses on a variety of cancers including: breast, bowel, cervical, non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, ovarian, prostate, skin, and genetics of cancers, to name but a few. Every week in Yorkshire, 583 people are diagnosed with cancer. You are also more likely to get cancer and more likely to die from it than most other counties in England. We want to change this. Our goal is that by 2025, at least 2,000 more people in our region survive cancer every year.
