Cancer Research UK's New CancerStats Report
CRUK's latest report, on cancer worldwide, shows that an estimated 12.7 million people were diagnosed with cancer across the world in 2008, and 7.6 million people died from the disease. Reporting and commenting on cancer incidence and mortality across the regions, the report examines regional variations such as the 40-fold variation in female lung cancer incidence rates between world regions and why 60% of all bowel cancer cases are diagnosed in the developed world. The full report is free to download and the content has been added to the CancerStats site. You can also see CRUK's map of cancer incidence worldwide by the world regions, and Cancer Worldwide on its website
Cancer Research UK's latest campaign
Cancer Research UK's new TV ad is part of a wider campaign in which it demonstrates how it uses generous donations from the public to fund cutting edge cancer research that benefits thousands of cancer patients each year. Thanks to research into cancer, survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years and Cancer Research UK has been at the heart of that progress. However, there is a lot more work to do in order to realise the vision of a world without cancer, and this is the final message of Cancer Research UK's campaign.
The Centre brings together The University of Liverpool's basic and clinical scientists conducting dynamic interdisciplinary cancer research.
The Centre's seminars are held every Friday at 1pm in the Cancer Research UK Centre Lecture Theatre. All welcome to attend. The calendar of events is regularly updated and is available for download.
The University of Liverpool offers one of the best Ph.D. programmes in the U.K., and has been ranked 4th in a study of completion rates for Ph.D. students at universities by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).

Cancer Research UK's SunSmart campaign
Justine from Liverpool was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, at the age of 36.
She started using sunbeds when she was 15 and used them to keep her tan up in between holidays, until she was diagnosed with skin cancer.
The more you use a sunbed the greater your risk of skin cancer. Using a sunbed once a month or more, can increase your risk of skin cancer by more than half. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
Watch Justine's video, hear her story and learn why spotting skin cancer early is important.
