Our five-year strategy In 2008 we published our five-year strategy, which breaks our work down into three areas: research, information, and influencing public policy to reduce the number of people who die from cancer. For information about our strategy visit

Our annual objectives Driven by our five-year strategy, each year we set a series of objectives which aim to help us beat cancer. You can read more about what we have achieved so far and our plans for the future in these key areas:
Research Research is our primary focus. See pages 5 to 7 for more information on our life-saving research and the progress we have made.
Information Every year we help millions of people get the information they need to understand the disease. We aim to raise awareness amongst the public that the earlier cancer is detected the better the chance of a successful outcome and to offer advice about how to reduce cancer risk. You can find out more about how we help people to understand cancer and raise awareness on page 8.
Influencing public policy We campaign on key cancer issues including improved access to cancer treatments, early diagnosis and reducing the use of tobacco. This work keeps cancer at the top of the political agenda. On page 9 we show how we are influencing public policy and campaigning for change.
