Researchers are trying to find drugs that could prevent bowel cancer CR_UK ad
It’s thanks in part to Cancer Research UK's incredible supporters, including those leaving gifts in Wills, that the charity is able to consistently fund world-class cancer research to help more people than ever survive their cancer.
The pioneering work across the UK, including in the East of England, benefits from the generosity of supporters leaving a gift to Cancer Research UK in their Will. In fact, legacy gifts fund a third of research. The charity recognises that a diverse research community made up of people with a wide range of skills and perspectives is essential to delivering the mission to beat cancer. That’s why, in 2017, Cancer Research UK set up the Women of Influence initiative. This mentorship programme champions women in cancer research and pairs early and mid-career female scientists with leading businesswomen, providing them with additional support at a critical time in their career development.
Professor Brown is leading a clinical trial called COLO-PREVENT. This study is exploring whether two common drugs – the diabetes medication metformin and the painkiller aspirin – could prevent people with high risk from developing bowel cancer.
