Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Our vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Precision medicine is increasingly recognised as the future of cancer therapy. Our Stratified Medicine Programme is a partnership with industry (AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Illumina), clinical teams, molecular diagnostic laboratories, clinical trials units and the research community. The programme is embedding a large, multi-aberration Next Generation Sequencing panel within the NHS. This information will be used to inform patient decisions through a pioneering national clinical trial for patients with advanced lung cancer – the National Lung Matrix Trial led by the Birmingham CRCTU. http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/
