CANCER RESEARCH UK

More people will survive cancer – Survival rates for all common cancers will increase, with more than two-thirds of newly-diagnosed patients living for at least five years. We will achieve this goal by: Discovering and developing new ways to screen for cancer, diagnose it and treat it Supporting the development of treatment strategies that improve survival Enhancing research into improving key cancer treatments, such as radiotherapy, surgery and drug combination therapies Promoting the best screening and treatment strategies to Government, commercial organisations and those responsible for cancer care Campaigning to turn research output into effective clinical practice quickly, in order to improve NHS cancer care and service delivery Establishing a UK-wide network of Cancer Research Centres to improve knowledge flow from laboratories to patients and vice versa Raising public awareness of cancer clinical trials and helping patients to find the trials most relevant to them.
