Congratulations to Harveer and Simon on publishing outcomes from their CANCAP study.
A clinical trial led by members of our @CRUKCamUrol.has revealed how a short course of targeted therapy prior to surgery can influence the biology of prostate cancer – even in men who do not carry known DNA repair gene mutations. Find out more ➡️

When @YorkshireKST provided an additional upper abdominal CT scan for 4,019 people attending lung-cancer screening (funded by @yorkshirecancer), the study identified:.🚩10 new cases of kidney cancer.🔍10 other abdominal cancers.📈60 new abdominal aortic aneurisms. (5/6)

The analysis concludes that considering all relevant diseases in screening models is vital for developing cost-effective screening programmes. It also recommends a larger trial, which is currently in development by the UMVI with funding from @yorkshirecancer. (4/6).

A paper, published in @BrJCancer, shows that adding an upper abdominal CT scan to the thoracic CT scan offered within the lung cancer screening programme has a 96% probability of being cost-effective: (2/6)

Rebecca Wray, joint first author on this paper, presented her work at the @AACR Annual Meeting this weekend
New work led by James Jones, published this week in @NatureComms, has discovered early markers of response in patients treated for kidney cancer with venous tumour thrombus (VTT) using a drug called axitinib.

In 2022, our NAXIVA trial, led by @grantissimus showed that 8 weeks of pre-surgery treatment with axitinib can reduce the extent of VTT in some patients with kidney cancer, making surgery safer. Dr Jones’s translational work offers an insight into why some patients respond.

Meet Jenifer from Otley, West Yorkshire. Jenifer's kidney cancer was discovered during our kidney screening trial, YKST. Thanks to this study, funded by @yorkshirecancer, Jenifer's cancer was treated early. Now she's getting back to line dancing 👢
