Cancer Revolution: Science, Innovation and Hope - Oct 31st to Dec 31st

Through seldom and never-before seen objects and stories, cutting edge treatment and research, reflection, film, photography, interactive exhibits and a breadth of personal stories - this exhibition presents the stories of people affected by cancer, together with those who study and treat it. Revealing how researchers, clinicians, policy makers and patients are fuelling progress in a powerful expression of shared hope.

Shaped through collaboration with people living with and impacted by cancer, the exhibition will take visitors on a journey of discovery with scientists, clinicians and people who have been affected by cancer in their own words. Explore everything known so far about what cancer is and what causes it, why scientists are focusing their research on understanding how and why cancer evolves, and what the future of cancer care looks like.

From busting myths about the causes of cancer, to exploring how the disease isn’t unique to humans and how the latest cancer research, early detection technologies and immunotherapies are advancing cancer care today, Cancer Revolution: Science, Innovation and Hope will show how far we have come. The exhibition reveals how cancer has been treated over the centuries, from high-risk surgeries to the discovery of the first chemotherapy drugs, and the important challenges that remain to be solved.

Visitors will be introduced to the researchers and remarkable science that is transforming our understanding of cancer and ways of treating it . It also focuses on new technologies being used to detect the disease in its earliest stages and that scientists are studying how cancers grow and change in more detail than ever before. The exhibition will showcase the therapies that re-engineer immune cells to better recognise cancer and novel technologies that are helping to detect cancer earlier.
