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.


Check out our information about cervical cancer, including cervical cancer screening and the new cervical cancer vaccine.

Cancer Research UK is helping the Department of Health to collect patient opinions about whether people should be able to pay privately for drugs not funded by the NHS without losing their right to free NHS treatment.  These are known as “top up” payments.  You can fill in a Department of Health survey to share your views about top up payments with the Cancer Czar.

Do you have a question about cancer? Call our team of Specialist Nurses on 020 7061 8355, or freephone 0808 800 4040.  Lines are open Monday to Friday, between 9am and 5pm.

Check out Cancer Chat - Cancer Research UK's new discussion forum.  It is a place for you to share experiences, stories and information with other people who know what you are going through.
