Cancer is a problem we can solve, but we can't solve it alone.

Cancer: Project Zero is the ambition to one day eliminate cancer as a cause of death. That means zero lives lost too soon, and zero families left behind. For some cancers, we are getting closer to that goal, but for too many, we still remain too far away. And with one in two people expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, the critical need is clear.
This is a moment of opportunity to improve the lives of those who need it most. We are living in a golden age of science, and the UK is leading the charge in cancer research.
That’s why we launched the Zero Essays: a collection of in-depth ideas and expert perspectives from across the cancer community - coming together to ask the big question: how close are we to achieving zero?
From unleashing the potential of AI, to breakthroughs in multi-modal treatments, to truly personalised care, these essays shine a light on the future of cancer care.
