National Cancer Research Institute shut down amid future breakthrough fears

National Cancer Research Institute shut down amid future breakthrough fears A leading cancer research organisation which helped thousands of patients access life-saving new drugs has been forced to close after Cancer Research UK slashed its funding.

Last week it was announced that the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) will disband – a devastating blow to future research and trials of vital new treatments to combat the disease.

The NCRI said the closure was due to a lack of funds but did not provide further details. The Daily Mail
