Institute of Cancer Research

The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is one of the world’s most influential cancer research organisations. Today, read about precision drugs unmasking cancers to the immune system, become a cheering team volunteer or take our drug access survey.

In 2016, the ICR launched a new, five-year joint research strategy with The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. This focuses on four key areas of research to speed up progress in defeating cancer.

Ambitious research strategy aims to turn scientific discovery and understanding into real benefits for cancer patients. To achieve this they need to put down strong foundations in the way to organise and support research.
