Liver cancer
This project hopes to address the steep rise in liver cancer cases and the poor survival rates by finding a new target that would kickstart new cures.
Researcher: Professor Raul Mendez
Exploring liver cancer's weak spot as a new target for therapyWe have funded over £220m of research worldwide since 1979 and cancer survival rates have doubled in that time.
But global funding for discovery research has declined in recent years and we risk losing the cancer cures of the future. Your support can turn the tide.
