Cancer

An open, collaborative, and multidisciplinary group working with clinicians, researchers, and patients to improve pathways to cancer diagnosis.

A major focus of the group is building interdisciplinary teams to deliver projects to improve cancer control in primary care with impact and direct patient benefit.

To do this the cancer research theme works closely with patients, primary care professionals, cancer charities, researchers from other disciplines and institutions, NHS commissioners, diagnostics services and companies, and cancer care in the hospital setting.

Example partnerships include the CRUK Test Evidence Transition programme, Oxford Cancer, the Oxford CRUK Clinical Trials Unit Collaboration, the NIIHR HealthTech Research Centre, and the NIHR Policy Research Unit for Cancer Awareness Screening and Early Diagnosis.

Our work is informed and underpinned by our standing group of valued Patient and Public contributors and our active and ongoing programme of Community Engagement.

This multidisciplinary and collaborative approach enables the team to use the most appropriate research methodologies to address pressing research questions that have arisen out of direct clinical care.

Our work is organised into four themes: health records data, clinical studies, implementation science, and diagnostic reasoning.
