The MRC Cancer Unit’s mission is to advance understanding of the earliest steps in the development of cancer, and use this knowledge to improve the early detection of cancer, to identify individuals who are most at risk of developing cancer, and to develop new approaches for the treatment of cancer, through the creation of innovative technologies.
