SUMMARY:Tackling cancer inequalities through interdisciplinary research
DESCRIPTION:Explore our research priorities to transform understanding of cancer biology and its intersection with health disparities and inequalities\n\n\n\nNearly 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Yet one of the greatest remaining challenges is understanding how and why cancers affect people differently. \nMarked differences remain in risk factor exposure\, incidence\, stage at diagnosis\, treatment and outcomes across the UK\, mainly driven by inequalities. For example\, cancer death rates are nearly 60% higher for people living in the most deprived areas of the UK compared with the least deprived. \nWhat is the role and contribution of biology underlying these differences? \nHow do these biological mechanisms intersect with environmental\, social and other drivers to contribute to inequalities and health disparities in cancer? \nAddressing these key research areas is one of the ambitious goals of our new EDI in research strategic approach. \nJoin our webinar to hear the perspectives of experts working across disciplines to address cancer inequalities. \nYou’ll also learn more about how we plan to stimulate research in this area and how you can get involved through upcoming funding opportunities. \nMeet our speakers and co-chairs: \nFieke Froeling\, Clinical Senior Lecturer\, University of Glasgow and Team SAMBAI\, Cancer Grand Challenges \nAlastair Lamb\, Senior Clinical Lecturer\, Barts Cancer Institute and Honorary Consultant Urological Surgeon\, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital \nSue Astley Theodossiadis\, Professor of Intelligent Medical Imaging\, The University of Manchester. \nBernard Rachet\, Professor of Cancer Epidemiology\, LSHTM and Inequalities of Cancer Outcomes Network Lead \nFaaria Mohammed\, Patient representative\, member of our Research and Strategy Cancer Insights Panel \nMathew Tata\, Research Programme Manager\, EDI in Research Lead\, Cancer Research UK \nShewly Choudhury\, Head of Research Careers and Culture\, Cancer Research UK
