Last Friday the Cancer Research UK National Biomarker Centre was officially opened! Thanks to a £2.5m investment from Cancer Research UK, the Centre will help experts: 📉 Detect cancer at an earlier stage – when there are usually more treatment options available. ✅ Provide clues on how aggressive a patient’s tumour is 🩺 Predict which treatments are likely to work best and monitor responses to personalised treatment. “The impact biomarkers will have on patients’ care can’t be underestimated.
