UK Govt's Green Light To Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital

Study in UK: Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital is expected to change the cancer treatment forever. The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has announced that the UK government has given the green signal for it.

Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital (CCRH) is a part of the UK's review of its New Hospitals Programme. According to the Cambridge University statement, CCRH is going to transform how doctors diagnose and treat cancer. The research hospital will combine the expertise of clinical excellence and world-leading research to change cancer patients' lives across the UK and in other countries as well.

Professor Deborah Prentice, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, commented, “This is excellent news for the future of Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital, which promises to have a huge impact on how we diagnose and treat cancer, not only in our region, but globally. Our teams are also working hard to secure much-needed philanthropic support to complement the funding committed by the NHS and the University. Generous donations will help realise our vision for this revolutionary, and much-needed, research hospital.”

It will be established through collaboration between the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals. The collaboration will combine three new state-of-the-art research institutes with the NHS clinical space.

£10 Million Programme To Fight Cancer

The researchers at Cambridge University are going to lead a £ 10 million project which will use AI and state-of-the-art analytics to fight cancer. Antonis Antoniou, Professor of Cancer Risk Prediction at the University of Cambridge will lead this research.

Professor Antoniou said, “Finding people at the highest risk of developing cancer, including those with vague symptoms, is a major challenge. The UK’s strengths in population-scale data resources, combined with advanced analytical tools like AI, offer tremendous opportunities to link disparate datasets and uncover clues that could lead to earlier detection, diagnosis, and prevention of more cancers.”

Professor Antoniou added, “Ultimately, [the Cancer Data Driven Detection programme] could inform public health policy and empower individuals and their healthcare providers to make shared decisions. By understanding individual cancer risks, people can take proactive steps to stop cancer before it gets worse or even begins in the first place.”
