Velindre Cancer Centre has been providing care, support and treatment to cancer patients and their families since 1956; in our 60^th anniversary year we aspire to deliver the best cancer services in the world through care, quality and excellence.

We are the premier provider of radiotherapy and other specialised anti-cancer treatments in Wales. Access to radiotherapy is critical to improving patient outcomes for cancer: the evidence tells us that approximately 40% of patients with cancer would benefit from radiotherapy treatment, and recent advances at Velindre means that it can be delivered with remarkable precision.

At Velindre we support cancer patients and their families through difficult times, and our specially trained and highly committed staff strive every single day to make this time as comfortable as possible.

Money raised from our Victory over Cancer campaign will be used to fund ground breaking research and buy specialist equipment, so our staff have access to the most up to date training and techniques available.

The incidence of cancer is rising by 1% each year in Wales. By 2020 one in two people will be affected by cancer in Wales.

People in Wales living with cancer will increase by 80% between 2010 and 2030.

However cancer survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years, meaning that more people in Wales are surviving cancer because of better treatments and earlier detection.
