One in Two

In this episode, we speak to Professor Emma Crosbie about her research in womb cancer and the breakthrough she made in discovering a link between Lynch syndrome and womb cancer. We discuss the steps Emma and her team took to change NICE guidance on testing for Lynch syndrome for women with womb cancer, and what this now means for the many women and their families with this disease.   Emma Crosbie’s research profile: https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/emma.crosbie.html Cancer futures: https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/stories/cancer/ Peaches trust: https://peachestrust.org/ What is cervical screening? https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cervical-screening/ Macmillan Cancer support: https://www.macmillan.org.uk/ Read more in this blog from the Policy@Manchester Team and hear directly from people who will be affected by this change in healthcare policy: https://www.policy.manchester.ac.uk/activities/lynch-syndrome/

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.
