Analysis of 17.5 million health records reveals significant ethnic and social inequalities in lung cancer diagnosis. Research shows Bangladeshi men face highest risks, while people in deprived areas are twice as likely to develop lung cancer compared to affluent areas. Important implications for NHS screening.
Join us in Oxford to celebrate UK and international Wnt research, network, forge future collaborations, meet old and new friends, and to make our shared dream of a UK-wide Wnt society a reality.
Aleksandra Dzhoneva - Postdoctoral Scientist- shares her experience at the HIPP Summer School 2024, which she attended to present research as part of the COMBATcancer consortium. Her attendance was fully funded by Oxford Cancer.

The three-year \u00a3225,000 grant from The Brain Tumour Charity will fund research into whether it's possible to use T-cells to track and detect gliomas.
Researchers from the Cancer Theme at Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS) and Department of Oncology at the University of Oxford, report that cancer data collected by national cancer registries is comparable to the data gathered directly by researchers in clinical studies. This could make cancer research much easier and less expensive in the future.
Research from the MRC Molecular Haematology Unit has revealed a protein called galectin-1 as a key marker for disease progression and as a promising therapeutic target for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (a type of blood cancer).
Through the Oxford Cancer Immuno-Oncology Network (OCION), we aim to apply Oxford's leading expertise in fundamental immunology to enable more patients, with a wide range of cancer types, to benefit safely from tailored immunotherapy use. We sat down with Professor Alfred Zippelius to discuss his research.
The Song group at Ludwig Oxford in the Nuffield Department of Medicine have published a technique for mapping the pseudouridine landscape across the human transcriptome.
Thanks to the Translational Data Platform (TDP) - launched in June - many Oxford scientists have already gained access to expertly curated data from past clinical trials. Data from a new study, METFORMIN, is now available.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We sat down with Dr Eleni Louka, Academic Clinical Lecturer, to learn more about her research into rare childhood blood cancers.
In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, an international research team has used machine learning to improve risk stratification for patients over 60 diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, an aggressive type of blood cancer.
Fewer than 12 months ago the \u2018Oxford Cancer Immuno-Oncology Network\u2019 (OCION) awarded \u00a320,000 Pump Prime funding to a team led by Associate Professor David Church, who has now grown this pot over 27-times in funding from CRUK!
