Cancer Research UK has made significant progress this year
It’s been a busy year for Cancer Research UK’s 4,500 scientists doctors and nurses, as we announced a record spend on research. And the good news is that cancer survival rates continue to climb in the UK despite a rise in the number of people getting the disease.
There are more signs that the picture is improving. Cancer Research UK funded a third of the clinical trials that are used as evidence for the NICE (National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence) guidelines for cancer treatment, showing the impact of our research on the way that cancer patients are treated. And we’re seeing new, more effective targeted treatments starting to shine through in clinical trials.
Although we’ve highlighted our progress along the way on this blog, we thought that a run-down of some of our major achievements in 2008 would be a good way to round off the year.
