Welcome to the Wales Cancer Research Centre
Cancer research is vital to bring the best treatments to people with cancer, find ways to diagnose cancer earlier, and help to prevent it from developing in the first place.
At the Wales Cancer Research Centre, we work with cancer patients and other partners to develop and deliver research excellence across Wales. We are based at Cardiff University and funded by Health and Care Research Wales.
