Helping more people survive cancer is the aim of everything we do. Read stories from people who have been affected by lung cancer, and how research has made a difference to them.
Jennifer from Northern Ireland was diagnosed with lung cancer after having a follow-up scan for pneumonia. She had surgery and a drug called cisplatin, which Cancer Research UK scientists helped to develop. “Life has been better since I was told in December 2013 that I was cancer-free. Now the future looks bright, and I feel extremely lucky to have been given a second chance at life. There really is hope after cancer.”
From studying the biology of lung cancer cells in the lab to leading clinical trials testing cutting-edge treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more people survive lung cancer.
Thanks to research, we've helped change the outlook for people with lung cancer.
