November is #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth. #PancreaticCancer is often diagnosed late, when treatment options are limited. Our SAFE-D trial is evaluating a blood test to try and spot the very earliest signs of the #cancer developing. #PurpleForPancreaticCancer #MostProudOf

Around 12,000 men die from #ProstateCancer in the UK every year. A new trial, funded by @prostateuk.bsky.social, will look at whether selecting patients who may require more intensive treatment can improve outcomes for those with metastatic disease. Find out more - bit.ly/3JRh0IO

Recruitment to the MODERNISED #EarlyDetection trial is over halfway! Thank you to the 758 people who have taken part so far, and to all the #research teams involved. The trial is seeing if a simple blood test can spot the earliest signs of 10 different #cancers. Find out more 👇
