There is ample evidence, based on current and past trial developments with PDT, that stomach cancer could be treated with an application and development of PDT. In much the same way that you can get light into the lungs, you can use the same process to illuminate a tumour in the stomach.

So while this is an area for us to work on, we can’t realistically start work until we have the funding in place that guarantees that we can fund its development. We also have to confirm the hospital team that wants to do this work.

When this has been done, we will announce plans and open the fund raising appeal for this cancer treatment. Realistically, we should be open a fund raising account for stomach cancer by the Spring of 2015.
