Short profile:
There will be better treatments with fewer side effects – Treatments that accurately target the cancer and have few serious side effects will be available for at least half of all patients.
We will achieve this goal by:
Growing our drug discovery and development operations to ensure that basic research is turned into new treatments quickly
Supporting research into high-risk or innovative treatments that offer substantial benefits, for example for rarer cancers
Maintaining a best-in-class technology transfer and commercialisation arm to ensure that patients benefit from all publicly-funded cancer research
Supporting the development of new treatment strategies aimed at improving survival, quality of life and patient convenience, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or combination therapies
Maintaining and developing infrastructure to support large-scale clinical trials, through our network of Clinical Trials Units and Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres
Continuing to promote, support and develop clinical training initiatives
Supporting trials to understand which patients benefit from which treatments
Promoting the best treatment strategies to Government, commercial organisations and those responsible for cancer care
Establishing a UK-wide network of Cancer Research Centres to improve knowledge flow from laboratories to patients and vice versa.
