Have you ever thought about getting involved in research as a patient or supporter?
In this episode, Ellie Wolmark talks to the incredible members of the Women⁺s Cancers Programme Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Group about how they are involved in our research, why they think involvement is so important, and what it means to them to be a part of the group.
Not only do they share their stories and thoughts, but they also offer huge insight into their disease and the research surrounding it. They talk about how they can help and make an impact, not just for themselves and each other, but also for patients of the future. Their involvement is about making things easier, supporting quicker diagnoses, and helping to shape better, more personalised treatments.
The episode is incredibly uplifting. You will hear how empowering they find being part of the group and engaging with research. They are a shining example of how knowledge is power. Their support for one another, and for the researchers through the ups and downs of this disease, gives real hope for a better future.

Could the environment around a cancer tumour hold the key to better treatments?
In this episode, PhD students Emily Lythgoe and Ellie Bunce from the University of Cambridge discuss their research into tumour microenvironments. They explain why studying these environments in ovarian cancer (in a clinical setting) and head and neck cancer (in a pre-clinical setting) is so important for predicting how tumours might respond to treatment. They also highlight the value of integrating multiple technologies to create a more complete picture of a patient and their disease.
This insightful conversation explores how their work helps to understand the building blocks of these cancers and why such complex research could be crucial for developing new ways to treat patients in the future.
