A group of UK clinical and non-clinical scientists working together across different areas of cancer research has won the AACR Team Science Award for work that has transformed treatment for many patients with breast cancer.

Analysing cancer DNA in spinal fluid could speed up and improve the diagnosis of breast cancer which has spread to the brain and spinal cord, according to a new pilot study.

Scientists have uncovered a crucial change in cancer cells that allows them to spread around the body – by switching from sugar to fatty acids to fuel their growth.
