CancerHelp UK is the patient information website of
Cancer Research UK. We provide a free information service about cancer and cancer care for people with cancer and their families. We believe that information about cancer should be freely available to all and written in a way that people can easily understand.
We have
more information about the experimental clinical trials featured on the One Show on Tuesday the 18th November. To look for other clinical trials,
go to our clinical trials database.
A type of radiotherapy called
proton radiotherapy is in the news today. You can read about it on our page about
radiotherapy research.
