Patients who have aggressive prostate cancer could be identified by a highly accurate and simple blood test, according to an early study by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).

The research discovered rare cells in the blood that could be used to identify patients who are 10 times more likely to die of their prostate cancer, allowing targeted treatments to be offered as early as possible.

The CRUK Cancer Immunotherapy Accelerator Award aims to develop an integrated London initiative for immunotherapy by enabling fruitful and effective collaborations between the 5 partner institutes: Barts, UCL, King’s College London, the Francis Crick Institute and the Royal Marsden Hospital. We will provide the infrastructure required for in depth immune profiling in pre-clinical and clinical research, providing access to equipment, technical support and expertise for multi-omics analysis.
