Find out about groundbreaking cancer research at Cambridge, including our planned new hospital, how we're studying the earliest stages of cancer, how AI is helping fight the disease, and the patients playing a key role in our work.
Two-thirds of the public say they are very or somewhat worried about being told they have cancer – higher than for any other medical condition – according to polling released today.
Work will begin soon on a new hospital that will transform how we diagnose and treat cancer. Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital will treat patients across the East of England, but the research that takes place there promises to change the lives of cancer patients across the UK and beyond.
Cambridge scientists have discovered that cancer cells ‘hijack’ a process used by healthy cells to spread around the body, completely changing current ways of thinking around cancer metastasis.
Five Cambridge researchers join the community of more than 1,900 leading life scientists in Europe and beyond today as the European Molecular Biology Organisation announces its newly-elected Members.
The nine Cambridge researchers were all selected for their exceptional contributions to science.
Cambridge scientists are set to receive a major cash injection from Cancer Research UK.
Every patient with cancer has a story to tell of their journey through diagnosis and treatment. We meet a group of women who are at the centre of pioneering research in Cambridge that’s changing the outcome of ovarian cancer – helping to create treatments that are as unique as their stories.
