You've helped us find a new way to attack cancer
Thanks to your donations, our researchers have discovered that we can destroy cancer cells more effectively and selectively with a unique new reusable treatment, activated with a substance found in stinging nettles and ants.
Over 750 biomarkers identified as potentials for early cancer screening test
Researchers have identified 788 biomarkers in blood that could be used to develop an early stage cancer screening test for the general population.
The team - from the Universities of Sheffield, Coventry and Warwick - started with over 19,000 scientific studies published over the last five years that investigated blood based biomarkers. Systematic review methods - including ruling out studies in fewer than 50 patients - reduced this to 4,000 studies from which the final biomarker list was compiled.
