A huge thank you to Hannah and Daniel Ryan, who raised an incredible €12,500 for Cancer Trials Ireland in memory of their mum, Angela Dunning Ryan.

Through their Blood, Sweat & Tears challenge, they donated blood at the D'Olier Street clinic and took part in the mixed doubles Tryka event at the RDS on 3 July.

What a meaningful tribute to their mum. We're very grateful to Hannah, Daniel and everyone who supported them.

Thank you for supporting cancer trials research in Ireland.

Today, on Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, we're recognising the important contribution of patient advocates Siobhan Gaynor and Ann McBrien, who co-authored two published research papers exploring the experiences of people living with metastatic breast cancer in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Working alongside a multidisciplinary team supported by Cancer Trials Ireland, their research drew on responses from 246 patients, exploring information and communication needs, psychological support, financial pressures and differences in experiences across both jurisdictions.

The findings highlight the importance of patient-led research in informing cancer care and support services.

We also want to congratulate Ann, who was named in the King's Birthday Honours earlier this year for her services to women living with breast cancer. A well-deserved recognition of her advocacy and commitment to patients.

Thank you to Siobhan, Ann and the wider research team for their important work.

The ESMO - European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2026 will feature research and expertise from colleagues across Ireland.

Ahead of the Congress in Madrid, we have compiled a webpage highlighting their involvement, from presentations and session roles to research contributions and posters.

As Ireland’s national cancer clinical trials network, we want to recognise the work of our members and collaborators and help delegates find and support colleagues throughout the Congress.

Our team will be in Madrid for planned meetings, attending as many of the highlighted sessions as possible and sharing activity through our channels.

Take a look at the webpage. If you are involved in a session, have a poster or have co-authored research being presented that is not yet listed, please get in touch so we can add it.

A big thank you to the team at Gresham House, Ireland, who completed their Harbour 2 Harbour Walk last Friday to raise funds for Cancer Trials Ireland! 👏

As a charity, support like this is hugely valuable and helps us advance cancer research in Ireland, particularly investigator-initiated or non-commercial clinical trials that explore ways to improve cancer treatment and care.

We're very grateful to Gresham House for choosing Cancer Trials Ireland as their charity partner, and to everyone who took part in the walk, donated or supported the team along the way.

We are ambitious for cancer trials in Ireland.

If Ireland is to compete internationally for more clinical trials, and give patients faster access to new treatment options, we need to make trial start-up faster and more efficient.

Cancer Trials Ireland is leading a new national Site Start-up Timelines Working Group, bringing together our own expertise with investigators and research teams from sites across Ireland.

The group is chaired by Jacinta Marron, Head of Operations at Cancer Trials Ireland, and includes colleagues from Cancer Trials Ireland alongside representatives from cancer trial sites across the country.

Its focus is practical: mapping the current pathway, identifying where processes can run in parallel, and piloting an accelerated approach to trial start-up.

As Ireland’s national cancer trials network, we want to help turn national ambition into practical change, improving the environment for cancer trials across Ireland. Find out more: https://bit.ly/4cGHBU2

The session will bring together oncologists and a patient advocate from different continents to explore how climate change is shaping cancer risk, diagnosis, access to treatment, patient outcomes and the resilience of health systems.
