Yorkshire Cancer Research is a registered charity that funds research, principally in Yorkshire, into the causes and cures of cancer. They do this by fundraising in Yorkshire and providing awards to Yorkshire based academic institutions. Through publishing and sharing the results of this research with the world's scientific community, Yorkshire Cancer Research hopes to develop more effective treatments for cancer sufferers world-wide.
Yorkshire Cancer Research raises its money in Yorkshire and spends it in Yorkshire at its five centres of excellence based at Bradford University, Hull University, Leeds University, Sheffield University and York University and their associated teaching hospitals.
They are the most successful regional medical research charity in the UK and fund internationally recognised research which focuses on a variety of cancers including: breast cancer, bowel cancer, cervical cancer, non-Hodgkin Lymphoma,ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer and genetics of cancers. Yorkshire Cancer Research is not a regional division of a national charity - they are an independent charity, based and operating in Yorkshire only.
Yorkshire Cancer Research are members of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI)
