Our Cancer Alliance aims to improve the lives of people affected by cancer in Greater Manchester.
We are one of 20 Cancer Alliances across NHS England.
We want more people than ever to reduce their risk of developing cancer, and for those who do go on to develop cancer, we want to improve their survival outcomes and experiences.
We work in collaboration with organisations across our region to help people get diagnosed earlier, provide better treatment and support people to live well with and beyond cancer.
