Leukaemia Research is a charity dedicated exclusively to researching blood cancers and disorders including leukaemia, Hodgkin’s and other lymphomas, and myeloma.

110,000 people, children and adults alike, are living with these cancers today. 24,500 people are newly diagnosed with one of these conditions every year. They are committed to giving every one of them the best chance of survival.

Their scientists and doctors work in over fifty research centres across the UK. They are seeking to improve diagnosis of blood disorders and treatments for patients, and to find a cure for blood cancers.

They support patients, their families and friends by providing them a free information service including a range of over 40 publications including:

• Leukaemia and Related Diseases.
