One in Two

In this episode we speak to Dr Jen Davies-Oliveira and Professor Emma Crosbie about their research into womb cancer and human papilloma virus, commonly known as HPV. We also discuss one of their research projects developing alternative self-sampling methods for HPV. With lower cervical screening uptake in communities such as the LGBTQIA+ community, we explore how addressing barriers to screening can be achieved through greater engagement with these groups and the importance of developing an inclusive approach to screening.   Live through this: https://livethroughthis.co.uk/ Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust: https://www.jostrust.org.uk/ Answer cancer GM: https://www.answercancergm.org.uk/ LGBT foundation: https://lgbt.foundation/ Peaches Womb Cancer Trust: https://peachestrust.org/

What is One in Two?

With one in two of us receiving a cancer diagnosis at some point during our lives, it has never been more important to improve the outcomes for people affected by cancer.

This cancer research podcast is brought to you by The University of Manchester in partnership with the Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC). In each episode, our cancer researchers discuss the innovations, discoveries and projects that are changing the landscape of early detection.
