St. James's Target Lung Cancer Appeal
St. James’s Hospital is a Cancer Centre of Excellence and is Ireland’s largest lung cancer referral centre with a long history in the treatment of lung cancer. St James’s Hospital is the largest comprehensive centre for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease in Ireland, both in terms of the number of patients and the complexity of disease treated. At St James’s, we diagnose and treat over 20% of all lung cancer patients in Ireland and carry out over 50% of all lung cancer patients’ surgeries. Our Target Lung Cancer appeal is to raise vital funding for lung cancer patient support and research at St. James’s Hospital. These funds will be used to support world leading clinical research into lung cancer, and in particular pursue better diagnostic solutions that can lead to personalised cancer treatments for our patients. Target Lung Cancer is the only campaign in Ireland solely dedicated to lung cancer. It is supported by a multi-disciplinary network at St. James’s Hospital and Trinity College Dublin including patients, oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, nurses, scientists and respiratory physicians. If you want to read more about Target Lung Cancer or if you wish to make a donation, you will find more information on our website: http://www.supportstjames.ie/fundraising-appeals/target-lung-cancer/ Neven Maguire’s Food Festival for Target Lung Cancer We are delighted that Neven Maguire, of the Award-Winning MacNean House & Restaurant, is the Ambassador for our Target Lung Cancer campaign.
