The specialist facility planned for the Cambridge Biomedical Campus will bring together world-leading researchers and clinical excellence under one roof in a brand-new NHS hospital.

Happy New Year! We're looking forward to another busy and exciting year for the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital project, as we prepare our Full Business Case for submission.

Our Research Lead University of Cambridge Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald reflects on what 2026 has in store and the benefits the specialist facility will bring for the future of cancer medicine.

"This new hospital will accelerate research into clinical care more quickly, so we can detect cancer earlier before symptoms even develop, and bring more life-saving therapies to patients across the UK faster than ever before."

A week ago, a special programme for Stand Up To Cancer, presented by Davina McCall, was broadcast live from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Cancer Clinic Live followed the stories of breast, lung and colorectal cancer patients from Addenbrooke’s and Royal Papworth Hospital. In a UK first, viewers watched live consultations between patients and clinicians as part of a one-off special cancer clinic.

The programme highlighted the kindness, dedication and innovation of cancer specialists in Cambridge and emphasised the importance of cancer screening and research.
