Friends Of Cross Cycle For Cancer Research company information, Employees & Contact Information

Now in its 9th year, the Cross Cycle raises funds for C.R.O.S.S. Charity and Cancer Research in St. James's Hospital and Trinity College, Dublin. Funds raised by the C.R.O.S.S cycle have allowed the purchase of crucially important state-of-the-art pieces of equipment, which have been used by over 60 researchers working in a number of cancer types, including oesophageal cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer and lung cancer. A strong collaborative approach between the scientific and medical worlds is the best way to make real advancements in cancer diagnosis and treatment. This is highlighted by the development of the Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute, which will be the first of its kind in Ireland. The development of the Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute is one of the most significant developments in Ireland’s response to cancer for a generation: an entirely new distinctive vision that places the patient as the central focus and integrates basic, translational and clinical research to improve the prevention, detection and cures for cancer and to make cancer a manageable chronic disease. The Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute model will provide state-of-the-art cancer care for adults and children, providing access to the latest medicines and most advanced treatment options available. We aim to streamline testing, treatment and care delivery for our patients and to work with them to achieve the best results possible. The Institute’s compassionate healthcare team will include medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, nurse practitioners, research nurse clinicians, treatment nurses, pathologists, social workers, oncology education specialists, pharmacists, and clinical psychologists who will work alongside scientists to deliver the best possible medical care. Understanding the stress and worry associated with dealing with illness, the Institute aims to provide a place of refuge and a sanctuary for patients.
