So What Do Acorrn Do?
“ACORRN – Action Radiotherapy” is first radiotherapy charity in UK

A new national charity which aims to help the fight against cancer is launched at Westminster today (Tue July 13).
ACORRN (Academic Clinical Oncology and Radiobiology Research Network) – Action Radiotherapy wants to raise £5m to improve radiotherapy treatment for patients.
Demand for radiotherapy services is expected to almost double over the next few years – yet a mere six per cent of money spent on cancer research in the UK goes towards research to advance radiotherapy practice.
It means that Britain is now lagging behind other parts of Europe and the USA in terms of introducing vital new radiotherapy techniques and many patients are without access to state-of-the-art treatment.
