No body wants to be treated with yesterday's technique today. Only investment in research will overcome this. A well equipped research laboratory encourages recruitment of the best staff to your Centre resulting in patients always receiving the most effective and up to date treatment available.
The existing laboratory was built in two stages in 1966 and 1974. It is now in need of a major refit if it is to provide the facilities required by modern research into molecular biology, cancer biology and all biology. The fabric of the building has also suffered and local engineers and scientists have advised a complete replacement of the laboratory building. This will cost approximately �1.5 million and a public appeal to raise this money was launched in November 1994.
If we are to continue to advance our knowledge about cancer we must encourage young clinicians and students to enter into oncology research. Cancer Research Wales has agreed to identify sufficient resources to allow up to six postgraduate students in any one year to be involve in cancer research projects, leading to PhD. or MD. (Recent Research Papers). Cancer Research Wales gratefully acknowledge the estate of the late W. E. Fry who provided the initial resources for postgraduate research. The Cancer Research Wales Council has agreed that the funding of postgraduate students should take priority when allocating resources each year.
The research laboratory at Velindre Hospital and hopefull its replacement in the near future, requires a Director who will be head of research and who receives the backing of Cancer Research Wales and the Velindre NHS Trust. Both these organisations have realised the importance of this appointment and in conjunction with the University of Wales College of Medicine, Cancer Research Wales will fund a Chair in Clinical Oncology from October 1996.
