Identifying people at higher risk of cancer who will benefit most from targeted cancer prevention interventions and check-ups for cancer.

Developing new biological tests to diagnose patients more precisely. We can use these tests to create more effective personalised treatments against cancer.

Improving treatments that target the primary site of the cancer, such as radiation therapy and surgery for patients with early-stage cancer. We will also evaluate new therapies delivered as injections.

Developing new, ground-breaking treatments that work across the whole body and are tested across different types of cancer rather than specific cancers. This will help fight cancers that stop responding to existing treatments.

Developing drug treatments for specific cancers tailored to each patient.

Expanding the use of therapies which use the patient’s immune system to fight and cure advanced cancer.

Researching ways to reduce negative side effects of treatment.

Utilising the full potential of data in research and creating the next generation of tools to scan the body.
