About the charity

The Cancer Treatment and Research Trust (CTRT) plays a key role in funding the world-class research carried out at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre which makes a major contribution, nationally and internationally, in the battle against cancer.

Research at Mount Vernon has already led to major advances in cancer treatments, prolonging and saving many lives But the CTRT needs to raise more than £300,000 each and every year to enable the research team to continue this vital work.

A new £1.4m chemotherapy treatment and research unit, funded by the CTRT, will enable more patients to participate in trials of the very latest treatments available for most types of cancer.
