Current treatment projects
We have awarded major funding of £750,000 in support of the latest ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) UK clinical trial: ALL 2010.
Clinical trials help us to find better ways of treating leukaemia and other cancers. They allow us to test new treatments and ways of controlling symptoms.
The previous ALL trial, ALL 2003, is expected to push survival above 90%. ALL 2010 aims to take survival even higher.
