In the last 15 months, Cancer Research Wales has pledged an extra £2.6m for new cancer research projects, and as part of its anniversary year, the charity is hosting a series of science cafes across Wales.

Talks and displays will also demonstrate the importance of the immune system in cancer and how the latest innovations in medical imaging and radiotherapy are improving treatments for cancer patients in Wales, and much more.
