For our PhDs in Focus blog series, Rebecca Ford outlines how their Manchester BRC PhD project is part of the development of a nasal swab test for early detection of lung cancer, through the Cancer Prevention and Early Detection theme.
Professor Emma Crosbie, Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Co-Theme Lead at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has been awarded a prestigious NIHR Research Professorship.
A Manchester BRC-funded study has shown that a simple system, called the Manchester Score, can identify more breast cancer patients who are eligible for testing for inherited faulty genes that can cause breast cancer.
Women treated for ovarian cancer caused by an inherited faulty gene have a lower risk of developing breast cancer following that treatment, new research from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust supported by Manchester BRC has revealed.
Researchers are trying to reduce the risk of cancer and improve diagnosis, treatments, and survivorship through our Cancer Cluster. Find out more about the range and impact of our cutting-edge research in the third film of our Spotlight On series.
Two Manchester BRC supported research teams have been recognised at The University of Manchester's Making a Difference Awards.
A groundbreaking cancer research project launched in memory of the late Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, is already successfully identifying young women at increased risk of breast cancer after just one year of opening.
The 'Team Womb' collective based at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and The University of Manchester, supported by the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre, have been awarded a prestigious American Association for Cancer Research Award.
