Cork Cancer Research Centre is dedicated to developing preventative measures and therapies for cancer patients. Key to the success of CCRC is the clear collaboration between cancer clinicians and scientists focused on a single purpose, advancing new treatments through research.

The research work carried out at the Centre since its inception has translated into three unique clinical studies; two focused on using less invasive surgery to treat inoperable cancers, and a third on the impact of diet and probiotic bacteria to reduce the risk of developing colon cancer.

In addition, the Drug Delivery Research team has demonstrated greatly improved treatment of cancer nodules previously unresponsive to conventional therapies, allowing the Centre to offer new treatments to patients in Cork and Ireland.

CCRC celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and we are channelling all our expertise and experience into developing innovative and effective strategies for the control of secondary cancer spread (metastatic disease). Our ambition is to find the key to control this crucial component of the disease.
