Centres in Glasgow and Edinburgh will use the money to help develop 'cancer treatments of the future'.
The investment has been welcomed by retired headteacher Jim McCallum, from Paisley, who was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2017.
ECMCs work with local NHS facilities to provide access to medical trials and treatments to help find new ways to detect, monitor and treat cancer.Professor Jeff Evans, who leads the Glasgow centre, said: "Thousands of patients have kindly participated in these trials through the Glasgow and Edinburgh ECMCs and this funding, in partnership with other cancer centres in Scotland and throughout the UK, will benefit people with cancer in Scotland and beyond.
"Cancer is such an insidious disease, you can never be sure where you are with it, and you do start to wonder how many treatment options are left to you." "I had already been in a lockdown as they had stopped visitors to the hospital including my wife Margaret," he said. "But I was incredibly lucky with the timing, being able take part in the trial before the full impact of Covid-19 struck the UK."
