Action Radiotherapy
UK’s only charity dedicated to improving radiotherapy treatment
Radiotherapy and UK Health Agenda
Created by: Action Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is effective and inexpensive compared with some cancer treatments and second only to surgery in its potential to cure cancer. Even small improvements in how radiotherapy is delivered could lead to large increases in the number of patients cured, and improve palliative treatment for others

Action Radiotherapy was launched in the House of Lords in July 2010. It grew out of the Academic Clinical Oncology and Radiobiology Research Network (ACORRN) which was launched initially by the National Cancer Research Institute in 2005 to harness the power of the radiation research base in the UK.
Action Radiotherapy receives no government or other funding and its activities are entirely dependent on charitable donations.
