Cancer Research UK

The impact of COVID-19 on labs and clinical trials is clear, but it’s likely to be just the beginning. So researchers like Professor Richard Gilbertson need your help more than ever.

1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime, and COVID-19 won’t change that. It’s important to contact your doctor if you have any possible signs or symptoms of cancer.

Enter the Prize Draws, Stand Up all day with us, and tune in to a night of TV on 23 October, to help fund life-saving research. Now is the time to Stand Up To Cancer.

If you've been diagnosed with cancer, or know someone who has, we provide practical advice on everything from symptoms and screening, to coping after treatment.

We know it’s a worrying time for many people, and you can chat with others affected by cancer on our online forum. Cancer Chat is free to join and available 24 hours a day.
