Research Themes
Research at the CRUK Manchester Centre is prioritised across five cross-cutting research themes and seven disease sites underpinned by digital technology implemented through the Digital Cancer Centre. Discover more about our themes: Cancer Biomarkers, Integrative Pathology, Radiotherapy Bioadaption, Cancer Early Detection, Experimental Cancer Medicine and the Digital Cancer Centre through the pages below.
Cancer Biomarkers
Cancer biomarkers are core to our vision of delivering precision medicine for all.
Cancer Early Detection
To beat cancer sooner, we need to detect it sooner. Find out about our focus on early detection science.
Digital Cancer Centre
Digital research underpins all our research themes. Discover how we leverage technology, AI and data to improve cancer outcomes.
Experimental Cancer Medicine
To improve patient lives, we need new therapies and treatments and early phase clinical trials to continue to be developed.
Integrative Pathology
Acquisition of patient samples is key to translational research and we have developed an extensive biobanking infrastructure to allow collection at all points of the treatment pathway.
Radiotherapy BioAdaption
Radiotherapy plays a vital role in the treatment of cancer and nearly 50% of people receive some form of radiotherapy at some point during cancer treatment.
