Scientists at the new institute will devote their expertise to detecting and studying cancers early.
Institute director Rebecca Fitzgerald said the outcomes for patients could be transformed by faster detection
Scientists at the University of Cambridge's Early Cancer Institute will focus on hard-to-treat cancers, such as lung and pancreas. "Outcomes can be transformed if the cancer is diagnosed early enough and we have the right treatments," she said. The campus is home to two world-renowned research hospitals, Addenbrooke's and Royal Papworth, as well as the Laboratory of Molecular Biology.meaning that the institute's discoveries and new treatments will be vital to its work.Lloyd MannDr Daniel Munoz-Espin is studying the 'micro-environment' around lung tumours and how they could be eliminated
