Journal Article
Sullivan, F., Farmer, E., Mair, F. S., Treweek, S., Kendrick, D., Jackson, C., …Schembri, S. (2017). Detection in blood of autoantibodies to tumour antigens as a case-finding method in lung cancer using the EarlyCDT®-Lung Test (ECLS): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

The introduction of mammographic screening has resulted in a rise in the detection rate of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), currently accounting for one‐fifth of screen‐detected breast cancers. Although 60–70% of DCIS are treated with breast‐conservi... Read More about Breast conservation in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): what defines optimal margins?.

Human blood autoantibodies in the detection of colorectal cancer (2016)
Journal Article
Negm, O. H., Hamed, M. R., Schoen, R. E., Whelan, R. L., Steele, R. J., Scholefield, J., …Sewell, H. F. (2016). Human blood autoantibodies in the detection of colorectal cancer. PLoS ONE, 11(7), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0156971

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common malignancy in the western world. Early detection and diagnosis of all cancer types is vital to improved prognosis by enabling early treatment when tumours should be both resectable and curable. Sera f...
