Waiting to hear if you have cancer, or if your cancer has come back, can be an extremely stressful time – especially if the results take weeks to come back.

All men with suspected prostate cancer should be offered a specialist MRI scan, before a biopsy. That’s the new recommendation, but is the NHS ready?

Blood tests, breath studies and better CT scans could all help detect lung cancers earlier. We investigate the latest research that could inform lung screening.

Researchers are trying to diagnose lung cancer early through screening, and studying if the benefits of early detection outweigh the harms.

Questions are being asked of the tests used to diagnose prostate cancer, and how they can be improved. We cover the latest research, including specialist MRI.

New PET scans combined with drugs targeting low oxygen levels in tumours could help tailor cancer treatment.

Our scientists are building new cameras that could help reveal ‘invisible’ tumours by illuminating them in a rainbow of colours.

Advances in MRI technology could help scientists and doctors tailor cancer treatment by measuring the oxygen levels inside tumours.

We’re announcing the first winners of our most ambitious science funding awarding ever: The Grand Challenge

We’ve developed an app that could help doctors analyse lung scans and care for patients who may be diagnosed with lung cancer.
