Hope for Guernsey is a Cancer Project set up in 2008. Guernsey is unique in that its small community is relatively stable, therefore it is possible to analyse the blood results taken from Guernsey women saved over the last 40 years in order to see if it is possible to develop a blood test that would identify the breast cancer marker. An important study that if successful will help women and families around the world. Following on from this research is a similar study looking at a blood test for Prostate cancer.
This charity is based at Southampton Hospitals and University Medical School. Due to the generosity of residents of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, an initial £130,000 was raised to support an innovative breast cancer research project.
'Hope for Guernsey is committed to research and development and to punching the ceiling of conventional wisdom to identify ways in which potentially fatal cancers can be detected and treated earlier'
