OGCancerNI are delighted to be able to help and support our good friend Dr Richard Turkington with his ongoing research into various aspects of this disease.
This week our Chairperson Helen Setterfield was able to present him and his team with a cheque for £10,582.00 for the purchase of a specialist freezer and cell counter. We hope this purchase helps a little towards the amazing research he is doing.

What is Oesophago-Gastric Cancer?
Oesophageal cancer is cancer of the gullet and gastric cancer is cancer of the stomach. Combined, they are medically known as oesophago-gastric (OG) cancer. The oesophagus (more commonly known as the gullet or food pipe) is the long tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. In Northern Ireland in 2016, a total of 226 people were diagnosed with oesophageal (gullet) cancer. In the same year, 214 people were newly diagnosed with gastric (stomach) cancer.Latest News
