One test to detect multiple cancers – where are we now? 👇 We know that most cancers diagnosed at an earlier stage have a better prognosis. Multi-cancer tests (MCT) are liquid biopsies with the potential to support earlier detection by identifying multiple cancer types from a single sample. They detect markers of cancer in samples such as the blood, urine or saliva and can predict where in the body the cancer may be found. Currently, cancer screening programmes are available for one type of cancer at a time and use tests specific for that cancer. By researching the possibilities through robust screening trials, multi-cancer earlier detection tests (MCEDs) could revolutionise what cancer screening looks like and help us diagnose less common cancers earlier. We're keeping up to date with the latest MCT research to understand how they can diagnose cancers earlier, when they’re more curable, helping people to live longer, better lives 💙 Read part one of our multi-cancer tests series 👇 #CancerResearch #EarlyDiagnosis

Do-it-yourself human papillomavirus (HPV) tests could enable over one million more women in England to participate in cervical screening over the next three years. Although current cervical screening tests can prevent cervical cancer and save lives, not everyone feels able to take part. The YouScreen trial has shown that HPV self-sampling kits can give people overdue for screening an alternative option that they may find more convenient. Thanks to the trial, led by researchers at King's College London and supported by our funding, we're now one step closer to tackling health inequalities and ensuring that everyone can benefit from screening.

The percentage of cancer patients facing long waits in England has almost tripled since 2017 📈 Our new research with the National Disease Registration Service found that the number of ‘long waiters’ - cancer patients waiting more than 104 days to begin treatment - has increased substantially. Read more on the report's findings, including who the 'long waiters' are and how the newly elected UK Government can deliver on its commitment to bring down cancer waiting times 👇 #CancerNews #InTheNews #CancerWaits #NHS #TurningPointForCancer

Thank you to our long-term partner ScottishPower who recently hosted our Cancer Awareness in the Workplace team at their Warrington offices. Our Cancer Awareness and Health Information colleagues delivered a talk focussing on how healthy habits can help to reduce cancer risk. It gave the Scottish Power team the opportunity to have evidence-based, powerful conversations that support their commitment to health and wellbeing. Thank you Scottish Power for your ongoing support 👏 If you're interested in raising awareness of cancer in your workplace, you can find out more here 👉 https://cruk.ink/3WpfeT1
