Cancer Research UK - Science Update

This blog is co-written by three of Cancer Research UK’s professional science communicators, Henry Scowcroft, Ed Yong, and Kat Arney.

Our aim is to cover the latest cancer research, including that funded by the charity. We’ll also be highlighting other relevant material, debunking myths and media scares, and providing links to other helpful resources.
