Staff and patients thanked for their dedication to cancer research on International Clinical Trials Day
Posted 20th May 2022
Clatterbridge staff and
patients have been thanked for their commitment to research on International
Clinical Trials Day.
The day celebrates everyone who participates and administers
clinical research trials across the UK, and The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre has
thousands of patients taking part in studies that are finding new
treatments and ways to better care for people with cancer.
Medical Director Dr Sheena Kanduri, who has filmed a video
thanking staff and patients, said: “International Clinical Trials Day is a time
when we reflect on the achievements research has brought in improving cancer
treatment and care.
“There have been huge medical strides over recent decades,
making treatment of many cancers much more successful. We know there is more to
do and clinical trials hugely expand our understanding and provide evidence of
medical advances.
“But we can only carry out this research through the willingness
of participants to be involved with clinical trials and the hard work and
dedication of the staff who administer them.
“So, on International Clinical Trials Day, I would like to thank
our patients and staff for their commitment to cancer research.”
