From transforming radiotherapy into a precise, anti-cancer weapon, to developing new ways to stop cancer cells from spreading around the body, we are supporting 35 clinical trials and research projects that will help us bring new treatments and technology to people with cancer – ultimately saving more lives.

The only way to get the newest treatments approved for use is to carefully test them in clinical trials – and this is only made possible thanks to people with cancer signing up to take part in these trials.
Oliver, father-of-one, was diagnosed with mouth cancer in 2009, aged 53, after spotting a lump in his neck under his jaw. Oliver had a tonsillectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and then took part in a Cancer Research UK clinical trial using targeted radiotherapy.
“There are tremendous opportunities in research to combat cancer at the moment. There are amazing advances in knowledge about DNA and genomes and more research is needed to make the most of this with all these trials and projects. It’s an exciting time - we need the investment and the funds now."
