The Royal Marsden is Europe’s largest specialist cancer centre and continues to be a world leader in the international effort to find new ways of preventing and curing this dreadful disease. Selected as one of two charities to benefit from the White Nights Ride, the Royal Marsden will also offer its support to CAF Russia, drawing on its long experience of building relationships with the hospital’s local community.
Our new Diagnostic Centre will help us to provide people with suspected breast and prostate cancer with either swift reassurance or swift treatment. We do this through providing speedy and accurate diagnosis in a single visit. In time we expect to widen the range of cancers we can fast-track in this way. Our key aim is always to treat more people, more quickly and more successfully and to make the lessons learned available to others elsewhere in the world. Make our day – give the White Nights Ride your support. www.royalmarsden.org/campaign
