Our Research Themes
Supporting Professionals
Supporting professionals to assess cancer risk, based on their patients’ symptoms and test history, and by proactively following-up patients when their symptoms persist or change.
Supporting Policymakers
We are supporting policymakers by measuring progress towards earlier diagnosis, and assessing the potential population health benefit and value-for-money of new screening options and diagnostic tests.
Supporting People
We are supporting people by providing information about when to seek help for new symptoms, and make informed decisions about participation in current and new forms of cancer screening.
