The study followed the fog signal using prototype blood tests and reversed it using drugs. Potentially opening up new ways to intercept the disease in its early, pre-cancerous stages.

On the final day of the #ManchesterColloquium, we heard from our Clinician in Residence, Sara Valpione @saravalpione.bsky.social, who presented her work on the new precision oncoimmunology translational programme for oesophagogastric cancers 🎯

It’s easy to assume anyone offering an ultrasound scan has been formally trained. In the UK, that isn’t always the case. When you see the Quality Mark, it shows the sonographer is on a government-backed register that checks professional standards. #LookBeforeYouBook https://ow.ly/lnUQ50ZKjJT

Researchers at the Crick have shown that a surge in immune cell production in response to an indirect injury or infection can reactivate dormant cancer cells inside the bone, potentially leading to relapse.
