A team of researchers at The University of Manchester and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust are one step closer to revolutionising how we diagnose cancer of unknown primary 👇
Often patients are diagnosed with secondary metastatic cancers, which means that the cancer cells have spread to other areas of the body. In rare cases, it can be difficult to find where the cancer started in the first place, called the primary tumour. In these cases, the person is diagnosed with cancer of unknown primary (CUP).
A CUP diagnosis makes it harder to know which treatment will be the most effective – the primary location is the key to this.
Dr Alicia-Marie Conway and her team have been working on a new test called CUPiD, which uses a marker called DNA methylation to reveal where the primary cancer started growing.
They hope to transform the treatment journey for patients with CUP by determining which treatments would work best for them earlier on in their cancer journey.

Are you a CEO or director who wants to give something back to charity?
Have you been affected by cancer in your family and want to help do something about it?
Have you got a couple of hours that you could give each week to making a difference?
If the answer to the three questions above is yes, then get in touch.
I am working to put together a board of like-minded business people across the York area who want to make a difference through a Business Beats Cancer board.
The board work together to put on a fundraising gala dinner in order to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK.
If you want to hear more about this, then please drop me a message or email me [email protected]
Together, we are beating cancer.
