Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading cancer charity, dedicated to saving and improving lives through research, influence and information. For more than 50 years, its pioneering work has helped double cancer survival in the UK. And today it’s continuing to save lives, here and around the world.

The charity supports research into more than 200 types of cancer, driven by a clear vision: a world where everybody can live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. Step by step, day by day, researchers are turning this vision into reality. With nearly one in two people expected to get cancer in their lifetime, this research has never been more vital.

Through thoughtful conversations on The Rest Is Science, Cancer Research UK helps bring the stories behind these discoveries to life - exploring the ideas, breakthroughs and persistence that are driving progress today and showing how science is shaping the future of cancer research.
