Description

Manchester researchers have been awarded over £1 million by NHS England to explore the use of an innovative test for liver cancer, which will help patients access earlier care and potentially save lives.

The team at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) and The University of Manchester (UoM) will implement the new technology across MFT hospitals. The test aims to improve early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) – the most common cancer affecting the liver and the third most common cause of cancer death.
