Supporting you throughout your cancer journey
For forty years, OPA Cancer Charity (previously the Oesophageal Patients Association) has fought against oesophageal and gastric cancers, raising awareness about the dangers of persistent heartburn, Barrett’s oesophagus and acid reflux. We offer free support and resources for patients, caregivers and their families.
Same charity, same mission!
