Yorkshire Cancer Research began life on 21 May 1925 for ‘the improvement of cancer research in this part of the kingdom’. A century of saving lives tells the story of the following 100 years, from the discovery of the world's first chemotherapy to the discovery of Tamoxifen, one of the most successful cancer drugs in history.

Featuring photographs and other treasures from the charity’s archives, the book celebrates the ingenious scientists, inspirational fundraisers, tireless volunteers, loyal companies and generous benefactors who have helped to save lives, not just in Yorkshire, but across Britain and around the world.
