What We Do
Transforming lives through Immunotherapy research
Awarded “Cancer Immunotherapy Support Charity of the Year 2020” by the UK Enterprise Board
At Topic of Cancer, we’re funding groundbreaking research into immunotherapy, a revolutionary approach that empowers the body’s immune system to fight cancer. Our work extends to vital areas like exploring the role of the microbiome in treatment, understanding how exercise can improve outcomes, and identifying key biomarkers to personalise therapies. All of this research is led by experts at the University of Surrey, ensuring that every donation directly supports innovative treatments that can change lives. Together, we’re advancing the future of cancer care.

Discover what immunotherapy is and why we believe it’s the future of cancer treatment.
The Microbiome (Gut)

Biomarkers
