Cancer affects one out of every two people in the UK during their lifetime. The stage at which cancer is diagnosed has a profound impact on prognosis—those identified at stages 1 and 2 have a better chance of survival than those detected later. Some cancers, however, remain difficult to diagnose early. For example, 62% of oral cancer cases are identified only at stages 3 and 4 as a result of ineffective detection methods or the inability to apply them at scale.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham are pioneering new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to enhance cancer detection and treatment, providing patients with more precise and less invasive alternatives that improve prognoses while minimising suffering. Cutting-edge facilities are accelerating the translation of novel methods to clinical practice.
