Cancer Research UK

By supporting MyProjects, you are helping to fund the work of Cancer Research UK, the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research.

A scientist working in a laboratoryWe carry out scientific research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. We also fund research aimed at improving the quality of life for cancer patients and provide information and support to patients and their families.

Our groundbreaking work, funded almost entirely by the general public, will ensure that millions more people survive.

Some achievements so far

We are the European leader in the development of novel anti-cancer therapies. Since 2005, we have almost doubled the number of new treatments we take into trials each year.

Thanks to better treatments, survival rates have improved for nearly all cancers.

  • Over 98 per cent of men with testicular cancer are now successfully treated.
  • Almost two thirds of women newly diagnosed with breast cancer are now likely to survive for at least twenty years.
  • More than seven out of ten children with cancer are now successfully treated.
