Thanks to our many supporters, we have helped fund millions of pounds worth of research which has helped discover new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent cancer. Our researchers have made significant progress in understanding all types of cancer and the research we support covers everything from the bench to the bedside.
Because of research, half of all people diagnosed with cancer will now survive. Tomorrow we want everyone to have the best chance of surviving cancer. We can only do this with your help.
