Our strategy
For the past 120 years, we’ve been making discoveries that have saved countless lives. But we have so much more to do. Our strategy sets out how we'll accelerate progress towards a better future.
Our research is saving lives
Thanks to research, 10-year survival for leukaemia has more than quadrupled in the last 40 years. Our research into leukaemia biology and new treatments has been at the heart of this progress, helping to save thousands of lives.
Current research
From studying the biology of leukaemia cells in the lab to leading clinical trials testing cutting-edge treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more people survive leukaemia.
Past research
Thanks to research, we’ve helped change the outlook for people with leukaemia.

Further information
Our strategy
Over the last 40 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just 1 in 4 people survived their disease for 10 years or more. Today 2 in 4 survive.
We want to accelerate progress and see 3 in 4 patients surviving the disease by 2034.
