Cancer Research UK's clinical laboratories, units and centres are based within some of the largest cancer centres located throughout the UK and are involved in a close partnership with the National Health Services (NHS). The doctors working in these units and their associated staff have between them a comprehensive knowledge of cancer management both in adults and children that are superb national resources.

The Units are responsible for contributing towards improvements in the clinical management and treatment of most types of cancer; indeed Cancer Research UK's support of clinical trials facilitates the existing therapies. In addition, funding basic scientific laboratory research within our clinical centres brings together scientist and oncologi, and provides unique opportunities for the development of translational research programmes. The following are the major Clinical Centres of Cancer Research UK. Further clinically-oriented research programmes can be found through researchers' links in the Directory of Researchers.
