Hi,

I don’t work in research, but I work in a biomedical science lab in a hospital which makes use of all the amazing hard work researchers carry out.

I do know though, that because there are many types of cancer, this makes it very difficult to find a single cure. Although successful treatment rates are increasing, so more people are surviving cancer after having a diagnosis. The best we can do as individuals is to reduce our risk by eating healthily, getting plenty of rest, no smoking or drinking and get vaccinated.
