Why we need your help

The Mount Vernon Cancer Centre is making a major contribution – nationally and internationally – to win the battle against cancer. For its research work it receives some funding from the NHS, and from organisations like Cancer Research UK, but it urgently needs more financial support to enable it to develop its research successes and to cope with growing numbers of patients that can benefit from research trials.

Without extra funding Mount Vernon will simply not have the resources to continue all of its world-class research into drugs which cut off blood supplies to tumours – and its valuable work on skin, lung, breast, ovarian, bowel, testicular and kidney cancers.

That is why we are launching a £1 million appeal. Donations, large and small, will be used to expand the research team of highly-skilled doctors, research fellows, nurses, data managers, pharmacists and technicians. Money will also be used to build a dedicated research unit where patients receiving chemotherapy can be treated and monitored.

Research at Mount Vernon has led to major advances in cancer treatments prolonging and saving many lives. We want this process to continue. But we cannot do it without your help.
