🔬 What is immunotherapy?

Unlike most traditional treatments, that directly target cancer cells, immunotherapy works by helping the body's own immune system recognise and attack cancer.

Cancer cells can develop ways to hide from the immune system, making them difficult to detect and destroy. Immunotherapy is designed to overcome these barriers, helping the immune system identify, target and eliminate cancer cells more effectively.

Researchers are exploring a range of immunotherapy approaches, including treatments that:

🛡️ Help immune cells recognise cancer cells more effectively

🔓 Remove the "brakes" that prevent the immune system from attacking cancer

🧬 Strengthen the body's natural immune response using specialised proteins or engineered immune cells

As our understanding of cancer and the immune system continues to grow, immunotherapy is opening up new possibilities for how cancer can be treated.

What does a CRIS Cancer badge stand for?

It's more than a badge. It's a symbol of a community coming together to make a difference.

It represents the researchers searching for new answers, the clinicians bringing innovative treatments to patients, and the supporters whose generosity helps make that work possible.

Today, CRIS Cancer supports projects across 107 research centres worldwide, driving progress in areas including immunotherapy, cancer vaccines, early detection and childhood cancer research.

Behind every breakthrough are years of dedication, collaboration and perseverance. From ideas born in the laboratory to treatments reaching patients, progress is powered by people who refuse to give up.

Their work is helping to transform how we prevent, detect and treat cancer, bringing hope to patients and their families around the world.

That is what the CRIS Cancer badge stands for. 💡

Many of the cancer screening programmes available today are the result of decades of research and innovation. Advances in science have transformed how cancers are detected, diagnosed and treated, helping more people access earlier intervention and giving patients the best possible chance of successful treatment.

Depending on your age and circumstances, you may be invited for:

🎗️ Breast cancer screening – ages 50–71, every 3 years

🎗️ Cervical screening – ages 25–64

🎗️ Bowel cancer screening – ages 50–74, with a home testing kit sent by post

Detecting cancer at an earlier stage can increase treatment options and improve outcomes, which is why attending screening appointments when invited and being aware of changes in your body is so important.

At CRIS Cancer, we believe research doesn't just help us treat cancer better — it helps us find it sooner.

Over the years, Enrique has supported CRIS Cancer in many ways. From attending our Annual Fundraising Gala and becoming a GEM member to taking on fundraising challenges such as the Royal Parks Half Marathon, he has shown a longstanding commitment to advancing cancer research.

As Enrique explains:

"Supporting CRIS Cancer reflects my strong belief in advancing cancer research and contributing to impactful, life-saving initiatives."

This October, Enrique will once again be taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon. What began as a personal challenge has grown into a family tradition, and this year he will be running alongside both of his sons.

"Proud to support CRIS Cancer – running the Royal Parks Half with my sons has become a tradition."

Year after year, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom laces up for something bigger than a race. 💛

Colleagues, partners and friends come together for the Chamber's annual Charity Run in support of CRIS Cancer Foundation, uniting around a shared cause. It is this spirit of unity, showing up, training together and running as one, that has helped fund life-saving cancer research time and time again.

As CRIS Cancer celebrates its 15th anniversary, we're inviting supporters to Find Your 15. The idea is simple: find 15 people who believe in a future free from cancer and ask them to support your fundraising efforts. Together, those donations can help fund the next 15 years of breakthroughs in cancer research.

The Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom is leading by example through its annual Charity Run on 9 September, bringing colleagues, partners and friends together to raise vital funds for CRIS Cancer and support life-saving research.
It's proof, once again, that community is one of the most powerful forces in the fight against cancer.

Head and neck cancers are a group of cancers that can develop in different areas of the head and neck, including:

1️⃣ Mouth and lips
2️⃣ Throat (pharynx)
3️⃣ Voice box (larynx)
4️⃣ Nasal cavity and sinuses
5️⃣ Salivary glands

While these cancers are often grouped together, they can differ significantly in how they develop, behave and respond to treatment.

Some head and neck cancers are linked to to***co and alcohol use, while others are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Understanding these differences is helping researchers develop more personalised approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Head and neck cancers can affect some of the most basic functions we rely on every day, including speaking, eating, swallowing and breathing.

That's why at CRIS Cancer, we support researchers working to improve survival, reduce treatment side effects and enhance quality of life for patients.

Promising new results from the OrigAMI-4 clinical trial are offering hope for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer.

CRIS Cancer is delighted to share that one of its funded initiatives, the Centre for Immunotherapy of Cancer (CIC), led by Professor Alan Melcher at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), played a crucial role in supporting the data infrastructure and sample collection for the trial.

Led by Professor Kevin Harrington, Director of Radiotherapy and Imaging at the ICR and member of the CRIS International Scientific Committee, the study took place across 56 centres in 11 countries and explored amivantamab as a potential new treatment option for patients whose disease had progressed despite chemotherapy and immunotherapy, leaving them with very limited treatment alternatives.

The trial delivered promising results:

🔬 Tumour shrinkage was seen in 42% of patients
🧬 15 patients achieved a complete response, with no detectable tumour lesions remaining on imaging scans
💙 More than half of patients were still alive one year after starting treatment

Studies such as OrigAMI-4 demonstrate the life-changing impact that continued investment in research can have, bringing hope to people affected by head and neck cancer and their loved ones, and moving us closer to a future where more patients can benefit from better treatments and improved outcomes.
