Cancer Research UK

A number of bodies work together to ensure that we make the best use of the funds we receive and continue to carry out world-class research. For the past 120 years, we’ve been making discoveries that save lives. But we have so much more to do as cancer remains one of the world's greatest health challenges. Our strategy renews our focus on making discoveries, driving progress and bringing hope to those affected by cancer. We want to bring about a world where everybody can lead longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. A world where: Some types of cancer are effectively eliminated Many more are prevented from developing in the first place People who do develop cancer are diagnosed at the earliest possible stage so they can be successfully treated Treatments are more effective, kinder and more targeted, so people can lead better, more fulfilling lives Everyone shares in this progress equally, regardless of who they are, where they’re from or what type of cancer they have.
