About Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK is the country's leading charity relating to the over 200 diseases that come under the umbrella that we generally refer to as cancer. They support the work of an incredible 4800 research professionals, nurses and doctors across the country, who are involved in all kinds of work aimed at combating the disease.

They assist with the pioneering of new treatments which have been highly successful, in fact in the last four decades the chances of surviving cancer in the UK has doubled. As one in three UK citizens will contract one form of cancer or another during their lifetime, this disease is almost unique in that it touches everyone's lives at some point.

The organisation is also heavily involved in health awareness campaigns aimed at dispensing clear information to assist people in understanding how they can reduce the risk of contracting various forms of cancer.

Their research has produced several extremely effective drugs including herceptin and tamoxifen, which are fundamental in saving the lives of many thousands of breast cancer sufferers across the world. Temozolomide is used to treat the most common form of brain tumours, and carboplatin, arguably the most effective and groundbreaking cancer drug ever developed.

They have also backed the essential research which has led to a dramatic increase in the survival rates of people being cured of cancer by the use of radiotherapy. They are also at the forefront of screening procedures for bowel, breast, and cervical cancer, which save many thousands of people's lives each and every year.
