Our research into cancer biology has helped reveal some of the reasons cancers start, grow and spread. Understanding the fundamental biology of cancer is vital for finding cures sooner.
By studying the biology of cancer in the lab, our researchers are working hard to ensure more people survive cancer.
Thanks to research, we’ve helped change the outlook for people with cancer.
Meet people like Dave who have experienced first-hand how our research is making a difference. The life-saving research we do wouldn’t be possible without your support.
Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive.
We want to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.
