Targeted treatment up front improves survival for advanced prostate cancer, and we predict a change in thinking for precision cancer medicine.

Advances in MRI technology could help scientists and doctors tailor cancer treatment by measuring the oxygen levels inside tumours.

Here are our highlights from day 3 of the NCRI Cancer Conference, including personalised treatment for prostate cancer, and new surgery tech.

Our scientists in Cambridge have developed a specialised camera that could help detect precancerous changes that may develop into oesophageal cancer.

We investigate organoids, the latest way that scientists are growing cancer cells in the lab to help test hundreds of cancer drugs.

Advanced imaging technology is helping our scientists understand how key molecules fuel the growth of breast cancer cells.

We’ve partnered with the Cancer Moonshot initiative, set up by US President Barack Obama in 2016 to accelerate progress against cancer.

From immunotherapy to targeted cancer treatment, here’s our round up of the big news from the annual ASCO conference.

We’ve announced four new awards to speed up research in our Centres, particularly for cancers where survival is still poor.

We explore the latest research from our scientists in Manchester that’s tracking how melanomas respond to treatment by analysing patient blood samples.
