"This incredible exhibition has been coordinated by Leeds Hospitals Charity for World Cancer Day and shows you what cancer care looks like in Leeds right now. It gives you the opportunity to step into the shoes of patients, clinicians and researchers through their lived experiences."
- Dame Linda Pollard DBE DL Hon LLD, Trust Chair 2013-2025
"Cancer is a disease that touches all our lives. Although cancer survival has doubled over the last four decades, we want to go further and accelerate progress to make the biggest difference for our patients.
"The exhibition showcases the outstanding research we do, and a fantastic range of benefits to patients from an amazing group of people. This is only possible through the support of the Leeds Hospitals Charity."
- Professor David Sebag-Montefiore, Audrey and Stanley Burton Professor of Clinical Oncology and Health Research; Director of Leeds Cancer Research Centre
