The stark truth is that almost all of us will have some experience, directly or indirectly, with cancer during our lives. Cancer Research UK statistics show us that nearly one in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with some form of the disease in their lifetime.
But while cancer remains one of the biggest public health challenges we face, slowly but surely, we are beating it together. With the help of many generous supporters, Cancer Research UK has funded scientists to uncover new insights into how cancer develops as well as ways of targeting its vulnerabilities.
