Advancing survival after cancer: Outcomes Trial (ASCOT)

The ASCOT trial led by Abi Fisher (Behavioural Science and Health) and Rebecca Beeken (University of Leeds) has been awarded an additional £188,892 by Cancer Research UK to continue the study until the end of 2018.

The trial has randomised 1,150 survivors of breast, prostate and colorectal cancer to brief behavioural advice about healthy lifestyles versus usual care, with initial follow-up assessments at 3 and 6 months. In addition radiographer Nickola Pallin has been awarded a CRUK Predoctoral Fellowship to work with Abi and Rebecca to explore the feasibility of training radiographers to provide lifestyle advice to cancer patients.
