Multifactorial cancer risk prediction
There are over 400,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed in the UK each year.
If we could identify people who are at increased risk of cancer across the lifecourse, we would have more opportunities for prevention and early detection.
Our aim is to design, develop and implement multifactorial risk prediction tools (such as CanRisk) so we can provide personalised risk estimates to patients and the public.

Improving risk prediction for South Asian women
Multifactorial risk prediction tools (e.g. CanRisk) estimate a woman's chance of developing breast cancer and guide her decision making around screening and prevention.
Most risk tools were made using data from White European women, so it is not yet clear how well they work for women from ethnic minorities, or whether these women will choose to use them.
Our aim is to understand how we can make risk prediction tools both more accurate and acceptable for South Asian women.
