Cancer Research UK relies on the generosity of the public to fund its life-saving research and it needs support more now than ever. We want to bring about a world where everybody can lead longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
A world where:
- Some types of cancer are effectively eliminated
- Many more are prevented from developing in the first place
- People who do develop cancer are diagnosed at the earliest possible stage so they can be successfully treated
- Treatments are more effective, kinder and more targeted, so people can lead better, more fulfilling lives
- Everyone shares in this progress equally, regardless of who they are, where they’re from or what type of cancer they have
