ALT Copy reads: “This initiative will accelerate our understanding of who is most at risk of developing cancer. By leveraging large, population-scale datasets and advanced data science techniques, such as AI, we’ll identify new cancer risk factors and develop tools that give doctors better ways to predict cancer risk.” Professor Antonis Antoniou, Director of the Cancer Data Driven Detection initiative.

30 years ago a landmark paper identified the BRCA1 gene that significantly increases the risk of #BreastCancer and #OvarianCancer when faulty. What impact did this discovery have on how we understand and treat cancer?

The public may wonder about the value of sharing their health data. PREDICT breast and prostate and CanRisk are widely used clinical tools based on NHS data.
breast.predict.cam
prostate.predict.cam
canrisk.org
These would not be possible without data sharing.
Men! What matters to you when your #NHS data is used for research?
We've had few men share their thoughts about NHS data use for research in the East of England @EoE_SDE.
Men (and women and non-binary people) can share their thoughts here - forms.office.com/e/Z78PiacwQ…

Great to see CanRisk canrisk.org endorsed by the new NICE ovarian cancer risk management guidance.
We've published final guidance on identifying genetic risk of ovarian cancer, along with recommendations for testing criteria and risk management strategies.
It also features useful and useable implementation tools to help with risk assessment: nice.org.uk/guidance/ng241
