What cancer research is important to you?
The Royal Marsden and The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) carry out ground-breaking work on the latest cancer treatments and technologies. Together, the two organisations form the only Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) dedicated specifically to cancer and have a long history of driving research that changes NHS care and practice, tackling the inequalities and challenges of cancer.
The BRC's eight research themes map onto the entire patient journey and align with the NHS Long Term Plan priorities for cancer.
The eight themes are included in the diagram below and further information is available via the links on the right.
Each theme has a quarterly working group, made up of researchers, other staff and patient and public contributors, to discuss new and existing projects. However we aim to collect research ideas from a wider patient and public community - that's you!
We want to hear what specific research is important to you, please add your ideas below.

More research into mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovaries.
Surgery is the only treatment option for this type of cancer, yet there seems little research into this variant. With 2/3rds of ovarian cancer being late stage diagnosis, it's essential we diagnose earlier and have more treatment options to improve survival rates.
