We’re determined to make a difference for people with cancer in Wales and beyond. Our scientists in Wales are experts in studying the inner workings of cancer cells, as well as genetics, early detection and prevention. They have a particular focus on a range of cancer types, including leukaemia and bowel, breast and prostate cancers.
Cardiff is home to Adult and Paediatric Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres (ECMC), which we jointly support with the health department in Wales. They bring together lab scientists and cancer doctors from local universities and NHS trusts to speed up the flow of ideas and new treatments from the lab to the clinic.
Cardiff is also home to the Centre for Trials Research Cancer Unit, which delivers innovative and practice-changing clinical research. This impacts the care and outcomes for cancer patients in the UK and across the world.
