Klas Kärre, Chairman of the Scientific Council at the Swedish Cancer Society, describes the research breakthroughs that save lives and why there is reason for hope for the future.
Thanks do all of our donors we can fund over 500 research projects every year. Being the largest fundraising charity in Sweden we get donations via legacies, monthly giving, donations and memorial gifts as well as peer-to-peer fundraisers, corporate donations and partnerships.
During 2021 our total revenue was 949 million SEK, which was the highest ever.
To meet the challenges of the future in cancer care, we need a knowledge-intensive cancer care system that constantly evolves . If research issues are not given greater prominence within the healthcare organisation, we risk missing out.
There are clear geographical differences in the degree of participation in the national screening programs for breast cancer, cervical cancer and colorectal cancer. This is true both between and within regions.
