Find out why early diagnosis is so important, how to check for cancer, and whether you're eligible for screening.
Our scientists are looking at new ways to detect cancers earlier, and we've contributed to some of the advances that have seen cancer survival rates double over the past 40 years.
We work to ensure that diagnosing cancer early stays at the top of the agenda, and that research discoveries translate into healthcare policies and clinical practice in the NHS.
We have a broad variety of opportunities to help researchers progress their early detection and diagnosis research, or to get involved in this field for the first time, from research funding grants to events and conferences.
Find out about activities in the UK focusing on early diagnosis of cancer, including screening projects and resources, and our early diagnosis research conferences.
In 2018, we launched our Shoulder to Shoulder Against Cancer campaign in the NHS’s 70th birthday year to ask the UK Government to train and employ more staff to diagnose and treat cancer early.
In our ambitious research strategy, we set out our vision to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. We outlined how we would facilitate a major shift in early diagnosis research to achieve this vision.
