Cancer Research UK’s ‘Commit to Beat Cancer’ campaign calls on parliamentary candidates to pledge to keep cancer high on the political agenda.

What if having your bowel investigated with a tiny camera – just once – could greatly reduce the risk of dying from bowel cancer and of developing the disease in the first place?

The Sunbeds (Regulation) Act will come into force in 12 months time and opens the door to making sure all sunbed salons will have to be staffed and provide accurate health information on [...]
Finding new treatments for rare and hard-to-treat cancers is one of our greatest challenges. The best way of testing out new or improved treatments is to run a clinical trial, involving as many patients as possible, to compare the potentially better option with the best current treatment. A team of Cancer Research UK-funded scientists has [...]
