Researchers are looking for people from Kerry, who have cancer or who’ve previously had the illness, to take part in research.

This study focuses on older people or those with a disability who have had to live with the disease.
Those behind the study say people with an intellectual or physical disability, or over the age of 65, can have their cancer diagnosed at a later stage and therefore have poorer outcomes.
