Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. It supports research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 3,000 scientists, doctors and nurses. Cancer Research UK is one of the few organisations of its kind with the ability to take advances in basic research all the way from the laboratory to the patient. It is a European leader in the development of novel anti-cancer therapies and its extensive programme of research in clinical units ensures that new treatments reach patients as quickly as possible. Key to its success are the flagship Clinical Cancer Research Centres. These bring together world-class scientists and doctors on major hospital sites working side-by-side and with cancer patients on innovative areas of research — such as using viruses to kill cancer cells and tailoring cancer treatments to a person's genetic make-up. |
