Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to cancer research. We carry out scientific research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and we ensure that our findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients.
We have discovered new ways of treating cancer that together have saved hundreds of thousands of lives across the world and we work in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer.
We help people to understand cancer by providing life-changing information to patients, their families and friends. We run cancer awareness campaigns to help people reduce their risk of the disease. And our campaigning and lobbying helps keep cancer at the top of the political agenda.
One in three of us will get cancer at some point in our lives. Our groundbreaking work, funded almost entirely by the general public, will ensure that millions more people survive.
