How your support has helped people with liver cancer
It helps to support our helpline – which provides advice and comfort for people like Phil.
I know that I can call them at any time and talk to them about anything – the journey I am on, the next steps. They are five-star angels.
It supports research projects to improve outcomes for patients
For example the NHS in England approved the use of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for liver cancer after a research study by Dr Rohimi Sharma, partly funded by the British Liver Trust, confirmed the real-world benefits of the treatment.
It helps fund our support services including the liver cancer support group
which provides fantastic peer to peer support for all those who attend. Amazing people like Monica for example.
No two people have the same liver cancer journey but some people find it helpful to chat about it with someone who has been through a similar experience
It supports our work to campaign on behalf of people living with liver cancer
Liver cancer has very poor survival rates with only 13% of people surviving for five years or more. As a ‘less survivable cancer’ with a five-year survival rate of less than 30% we need to improve outcomes, care and early detection of liver cancer.
We want every person with cirrhosis to receive effective surveillance or screening for liver cancer and everyone diagnosed to have the best access to care and treatment.
We campaign for improvements in the early detection and improved care for liver cancer patients in the UK with the Less survivable Cancer Taskforce. We also work with other cancer alliances such as One Cancer Voice and the Wales Cancer Alliance.
