Frances Balkwill discussed this question in our first ever Big Question Lecture. 13 years later, has anything changed?

Cancer is a condition which can affect any one of us. It can happen for many different reasons, but it is always the result of our cells getting out of control and dividing too much. Every day more than 1000 people are diagnosed with some form of cancer, and while treatments are constantly improving, not everyone will be cured.

 

What are the most important advances in cancer research and treatment since Fran gave the first Big Question Lecture - and what does the future hold? Will there ever be one cure for cancer?
