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.

The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off is back on Channel 4. Tune in, take on a fundraiser, shop the Star Baker range, or make a donation. Every last crumb funds life-saving research.

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.
