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.

Using AI to detect stomach cancer during endoscopy
How can artificial intelligence (AI) support both cancer research and healthcare more generally? Anoushka Harit (University of Cambridge) and Dr Zhongtian Sun (University of Kent) join today's episode to discuss this topic.
Anoushka talks about her research in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) and the development of an AI system to enable early detection of signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) during endoscopy. This new AI system could help to treat SRCC better or to prevent or delay drastic life-changing treatment, preserving patients' quality of life.
Zhongtian shares insights on how AI can support health applications more generally and how he tries to make it as explainable as possible. He even talks about his wish to make the AI mimic as much as possible the way a human brain works!
