“They’ve been researching cancer for decades, and there’s no change.” We get comments like this a lot – but the reality is research 𝘪𝘴 making a difference. Latest figures from our friends @cancerresearchuk.org show UK cancer death rates have fallen 29% since 1989 and 11% in the last decade.
UK cancer death rates at record low. Research is saving lives. White text in a bold font sits in the top left hand corner. Underneath to the bottom right are icons of 3 test tubes filled with red and pink on a plain purple background.
