Summary
There is a strong link between hospitals who have high cancer research activity (>16% recruitment) and improved cancer survival (3.8% improvement in 5y survival). The Enabling Research project, which has been funded by the Moondance Cancer Initiative, aims to facilitate less-active clinical settings to attain time and the tools to embed a desire for sustained research activity for patient and organisational benefit. The overall aim is to facilitate access to early detection/cancer research trials for both colorectal and gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients in Wales.
