Other Large Scale Research Initiatives

For the first time an Irish-based trial awarded to University College Cork (UCC) is attempting to link men to supports in a hospital setting that can help them to live full and fulfilling lives during and after cancer treatment.

The Irish Cancer Society Liam Mc Trial (short for Linking In with Advice and supports for Men with Metastatic Cancer) will see selected participants engage in a 12-week programme that aims to meet their health and wellbeing needs on a holistic basis beyond standard treatment.

The Women’s Health Initiative aims to improve health and wellbeing for women cancer survivors at all stages of their cancer journey through the establishment of pilot clinics to be based in Cork and Dublin. The clinics will involve initial groups of selected participants, and it is hoped that the two-year pilot scheme will eventually lead to the roll-out of a national programme for cancer survivors.
