Title Living with and beyond cancer – National Cancer Survivors Day 2023 Degree of recognition Regional Media name/outlet NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 4/06/23 Description On National Cancer Survivors Day 2023, Dr Louise James, Senior Research Project Manager at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), shares an insight into the new BRC Living with and Beyond Cancer Theme.
Dr Kim Linton (Clinical Senior Lecturer, Medical Oncology, University of Manchester and Manchester BRC LWBC Programme lead) and Dr Rachel Broadbent (Specialist Registrar, Medical Oncology, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust) are interested in promoting screening for lung cancer in patients who have survived Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL). Most survivors may not be aware that they are at a higher risk of developing lung cancer due to the treatment they received, sometimes many years previously.
In a recent study, two of 102 HL survivors reviewed, who had no symptoms, were diagnosed with lung cancer and went on to have potentially curative treatment. Manchester BRC funding will continue this work, developing a national lung cancer screening programme in HL survivors.Producer/Author Louise James URL https://www.manchesterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/news-and-events/living-with-and-beyond-cancer-national-cancer-survivors-day-2023/ Persons Kim Linton
