WELCOME TO NCRI

The National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) is a UK-wide partnership between the government, charity and industry which promotes co-operation in cancer research among the 22 member organisations for the benefit of patients, the public and the scientific community.

Cancer affects everyone. One third of people in the UK get cancer at some time in their lives and a quarter of all people die from it. This means that even if we don't have cancer ourselves, we know someone who does, or soon will.

These pages and the links from this site show you what we are doing and what has been achieved since we started work in 2001.

The NCRI Cancer Conference is the leading international oncology meeting in the UK and delivers a pioneering programme showcasing high-quality data and a multi-disciplinary approach to cancer research from basic and translational research to prevention, diagnostic, treatment and survivorship. The world-renowned speakers and excellent networking opportunities attract around 2,000 delegates representing the whole oncology field from researchers and data managers to clinicians, nurses and policy makers.
