Cancer Watch - our unique cancer research centre
Welcome to Cancer Watch - the heart of our charity CANCERactive. Here we cover the latest cancer news, the latest cancer information and the latest cancer research from all over the world - on drugs, surgery, radiotherapy, nutrition, chemical toxins, complementary cancer therapies, new or ´alternative´ cancer therapies, causes - indeed anything that could help you beat cancer, or prevent it.
In Cancer Watch, we only cover quality research and clinical trials from all over the world. Neither CANCERactive nor Chris Woollams this section´s editor originate any research. When Chris and his daughter with a glioma, Catherine, started their hunt for more information on treatments that might help her survive longer, they could not believe how much information and research existed around the world - information that somehow is just not passed on to people trying to beat cancer in the UK. As a result they felt that people were not so much dying of cancer, but of IGNORANCE. And that is terrible. ´Why did no one ever tell me?´ is a cry we hear all too frequently after people find the CANCERactive web site.

Some people say we should monitor the research and only put up what we feel is correct - this argument is absurd. Who is qualified to judge the merits of a piece of research from a top Medical School in America and co-ordinated by a top Professor and six scientists? And let´s be honest here. There are too many reports about fraudulent research practices currently emerging in the field of cancer. One year a drug is approved in a fanfare of glory; several years later it is withdrawn. If the paid experts cannot see through the research at the time, how are we supposed to?
We see our role as bringing you all the research information we can find so that you can make better-informed decisions. Nothing more, nothing less. No other major charity covers the width and volume of research we do and that´s why we can say that Chris Woollams is Britain´s top cancer researcher! We pass on the research - it is for you to use as you see fit. Why not discuss it with your Doctor? He/she should be more than happy to read some new research that might help someone with cancer.
Knowledge, Information, Research and Empowerment
There is a saying that knowledge is power. With cancer, knowledge can be the difference between life and death. Our aim is to empower you; to increase your knowledge so that you can make more informed personal choices.
We use this cancer research in our articles throughout the site, so you know that there is serious research behind our assertions. No one should ever accuse us of quackery - CANCERactive is independent and evidence-based. Our reporting of the research has no vested interests lying behind it
The evidence starts here in Cancer Watch. Here we cover the drugs, and their side effects, the clinical trials on meditation, or acupuncture, beneficial bacteria (probiotics) on diet, causes and so on.
