the
Everyman Centre
Update
The Institute opened the UK's first dedicated Male Cancer Research
Centre in November 2000. Research is being carried out into many
different aspects of male cancers, including gene isolation, dietary
factors, hereditary risks and the development of better treatments,
in order to lessen side effects and improve survival rates.
The £3.2 million construction was funded by donations from the
public, as well as companies, trusts and foundations. The Bob
Champion Cancer Trust provided £1 million towards the development.
We would like to thank all of our supporters for their incredible
generosity and for making our everyman vision a reality.
However, prostate cancer still affects 30,000 men a year, while
testicular cancer is the most common cancer to affect men aged between
20 and 45. We now need to raise over £1.5 million every year to carry
out the research that will, one day, give us the answers to male
cancers. There are many ways you can help us
to reach this target.
The everyman centre
Photographs of the development of
the Everyman Centre are now available on-line. You can also see
computer generated images of the centre here.
