Saving Lives
Bowel & Cancer Research (B&CR) focuses on translational research to foster a direct link between clinically relevant studies and improvements in treatments for patients, in contrast with more basic scientific research concentrating upon understanding disease processes. Translational research transfers the lessons learnt at the laboratory bench directly to the operating theatre or the patient bedside in the form of new diagnostic techniques or treatments. However, this type of research is both costly and time consuming due to the stringent ethical and legal monitoring which governs studies involving tissue taken from patients - or indeed the patients themselves - in the case of surgical innovations.

Famous quotes containing the words saving and/or lives:
“We black women must forgive black men for not protecting us against slavery, racism, white men, our confusion, their doubts. And black men must forgive black women for our own sometimes dubious choices, divided loyalties, and lack of belief in their possibilities.

Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits ...”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
