Helping more people survive cancer is the aim of everything we do. Read stories from people who have been treated with personalised medicine, and how research has made a difference to them.
Oliver from London, was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in 2009. He took part in a Cancer Research UK trial of a new, more precise way of giving radiotherapy called internsity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
“I was really pleased to have joined the trial because I know the side effects from regular radiotherapy could have been far more severe. I feel lucky that the high quality of my treatment has helped me lead a regular life again.”
From understanding individual cancer types, to developing new personalised treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more people survive cancer.
Thanks to research, we’ve helped develop personalised medicine techniques that are being used to treat cancer.
