More on Cancer Research UK
Description from Wikipedia:
Cancer Research UK is a cancer research and awareness-promotion charity in the United Kingdom, formed on 4 February 2002 by the merger of the Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. It is the foremost cancer charity (charity number 1089464) in the United Kingdom, and the biggest cancer research organisation outside the USA. It is accredited by the UK's National Health Service as a health information provider.
In the financial year 2006-7, the charity spent £315 million on cancer research, supporting the work of more than 3,000 researchers, physicians, nurses and other medical professionals in hospitals, universities and institutes throughout the United Kingdom. This funding covers all areas of cancer research. For example, some of the money goes to funding lab-based scientists who research the biology behind cancer. These scientists are trying to answer questions such as how cells become cancerous, how cancer spreads and how cancerous cells differ from non-cancerous cells. This research can then be used to identify possible new more effective and targeted cancer treatments. Funding also goes into supporting clinical trials of promising new drugs; researching and testing improved methods for diagnosis; carrying out studies into the risk-factors for cancer; improving quality of life for cancer patients; and much more.
The charity campaigns on issues such as smokefree workplaces legislation, cancer screening and long-term strategies for cancer services.
