Professor John V Reynolds
National Lead for Oesophageal Cancer
St James's HospitalLollipop Day has nationwide impact in Oesophageal Cancer. Ireland’s Barrett’s Oesophagus Registry supports early detection in an at-risk population, where it occurs. Nowadays, an early pick-up of this cancer is usually completely curable, with most patients avoiding major surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It’s enormously successful. Lollipop Day monies also support scientific research trying to improve cure rates; and contribute to an Irish-led international clinical trial. This life-changing pro
gress is 100% thanks to ongoing public generosity on Lollipop Day, either through donations or volunteer work. Working together we can truly enhance the quality of life for our patients.
