Up to 14% of people with lung cancer in the UK have never smoked. New research funded by us reveals why non-smokers face delays in getting diagnosed with lung cancer

Today, we’ve announced TRACERx EVO, a new programme that builds on the discoveries made in the world’s largest long-term lung study, TRACERx. 

A long-term study funded by Cancer Research UK has revealed how air pollution can cause lung cancer in people who have never smoked. 

Scientists working on the TRACERx project have mapped how the immune systems responds to lung tumours over time

New research reveals how some cancer cells double their genome to help them survive. Find out more about cancer’s ‘spare tyre’.

New lung cancer research shows that detecting potential tumour cells leaving the vein in the lung at surgery may predict the diseases return.

Scientists are taking a leaf out of Darwin’s evolutionary handbook to understand how lung cancer evolves.

Two years ago we launched a pioneering £15m lung cancer study. Find out what’s happened since, through the eyes of Terrence, a patient taking part.
