A bit about Cancer Research UK
When the Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund joined forces in February 2002, we became:
the largest fund-raising medical charity in the world
the largest funder of cancer research in Europe
a major influence on government policy relevant to cancer
a leading player in the National Cancer Research Institute
We are now an organisation that engages directly with 2.5 million people in the UK every year
A bit more about Cancer Research UK
Cancer Research UK supports over 500 research groups in 38 towns and cities
We support five Institutes:- London, Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester,
Glasgow 11% of all new cancer patients in
England are on our clinical trials We have 550 shops on the high street We spent £330m on research last year
Cancer Research UK’s vision
We carry out world-class research to improve our understanding of cancer and find out how to prevent, diagnose and treat different types of cancer
We ensure that our findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients
Cancer Research UK’s vision
We help people to understand cancer, the progress we are making and the choices each person can make
We work in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer
Cancer Research UK’s 2020 goals
People will know how to reduce their risk of cancer The number of smokers will fall dramatically People under 75 will be less likely to get cancer Cancer will be diagnosed earlier We will understand how cancer starts and develops There will be better treatments with fewer side effects More people will survive cancer We will especially tackle cancer in low income communities People with cancer will get the information they need We will continue to fight cancer beyond 2020
Where are we heading?
Cancer Research UK’s research strategy
The big picture of the strategy
There are three core strategies: Supporting research Providing information Influencing public policy
The big picture of the strategy
The strategy for our research has three themes:
We will focus on scientific quality and clinical impact We will provide the right environment for research We will provide the right people for research
Focusing our research - where do we fit?
Carry out research
Influence policy
Provide information
Deliver clinical service
Offer support for patients
Understand PreventManage

Diagnose & screen
Palliative care
Support patientsResearchActivities
Focusing our research
We want to build on current strengths in: Basic science Drug discovery and development Epidemiology Clinical research
Focusing our research
We want to do more in: Early detection Imaging Biomarker development Model systems
Focusing our research
There are areas where there is a need for more research: Radiotherapy Surgery Oesophageal cancer Pancreatic cancer Lung cancer
Focusing our research
There are some things we will do less of or stop: Research in supportive and end-of life care Some aspects of psychosocial oncology Research about surviving cancer
And there are some things we will only do with other partners: Obesity Alcohol Diet and exercise
Providing the right environment
We will retain our five core-funded Institutes
We will establish a network of Cancer Centres that will:- Become a focus for all local cancer research
- Support research training
- Be the way to deliver future initiatives
And the Centres will link our research to:- Patient care
- Public engagement
- Prevention
