Find the help you need
You might want to read all the information you can possibly find about your cancer. Or you might just want a summary and a link to other support. However you’re dealing with your own story, we’ve put together some resources that can help.
Dedicated to better outcomes
All cancer patients and their families want a positive outcome. Sadly, this isn’t always the case. Our work is dedicated to improving the outcomes for some of the cancers with the highest mortality rates. Indeed, we pioneered the early bowel cancer test kits, and the research we’ve funded has helped patients to find hope, even in the toughest times.
BRIGHT currently supports clinicians and researchers at The Royal Surrey Cancer Centre and the HPB Surgical Unit at the Royal Surrey County Hospital.Â
