Cancer news and information
On the left you will see a list of cancers (click here if the list isn´t there), from breast cancer, to lung cancer, and colon cancer to prostate cancer and by clicking on any of them you will be accessing the latest cancer information available, all in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand magazine style, straight out of icon magazine. At the top of the list on the left you will also find some useful general articles like ´What is cancer?´ and under ´Cancer General´ some quick tips to get you started and save you time hunting all over the internet. You can also quickly access any drugs that have been suggested by your oncologist. These general articles on cancer really will save you a lot of time.
CANCERactive gives you more!
Click on to the cancer you are most interested in, and read on. You will find the very latest news and information, links to the drugs you may be using, perhaps one person´s own story of how they tackled this cancer, complementary therapies that might help, references to cancer and diet and which herbal compounds might help, plus a detailed and comprehensive overview that will tell you the orthodox view and far, far more. One US Charity recently described our Breast Cancer overview as the best available in the world!
All the ‘overviews’ are written as an article but covering everything you need to know to help you beat this cancer – from symptoms and diagnosis, to possible causes and treatments, Orthodox and Complementary and even new and Alternative cancer treatments.
We are the only UK charity bringing you comprehensive evidence-based information ‘across the board’ in this way. It all originates in icon, (Integrative Cancer and Oncology News) our unique 60+ page, full colour magazine available quarterly and free in over 500 UK cancer Hospitals, Complementary cancer centres and Health units in major Libraries.

Remember, our magazine icon is written by professional journalists, supported by professors, doctors and scientists. We aim to be an ´easy read´, bringing the UK´s most comprehensive knowledge bank of information to you in an accessible and easy-to-understand way; ‘Patientspeak’ not ‘Doctorspeak’.
And this web site sets out to be the magazine on the web. You can print off any article and read it at your leisure.
We don´t intend to be all embracing; we doubt any charity could ´cover it all´. But we genuinely believe that by covering complementary, alternative and new therapies on top of the orthodox ones, and by including the UK´s most comprehensive library on possible causes and cancer prevention, we are giving you a whole lot more than any other UK cancer charity site.
CANCERactive is still young. As we develop, so will this site.
More Information – so you can make more informed choices
Each ‘Overview’ on each cancer will detail all the possible causes and all the treatments that are being used, not just in the UK but in countries like the USA, Russia and Japan. We receive over 60 newsletters from top worldwide cancer centres and we check it and then bring it straight to you, so that you can give yourself the very best chance of beating this disease. Some are 24 pages long – so you may want to print off a copy and read it several times at your leisure.
You will also find links, for example to the latest news items, pulled from our magazine section Cancer Watch. These offer the latest research studies, science and therapies from all over the world.
If you do have a cancer, we urge you not to stop with this section. Go to prevention, go to treatments, and even read the stories of people who have beaten their cancers. This website is all about giving you highly useable information.
